Daredevil: Born Again is set to present a grittier and more realistic superhero narrative, rivaling The Penguin. Showrunner Dario Scardapane claims the series will feature darker themes and more refined storytelling compared to its Netflix predecessor, asserting that it will present a "faster, meaner, cleaner" story. He acknowledges The Penguin as competition but believes Daredevil will push boundaries further than any Disney Plus show has before. The series has garnered attention for its dark, violent tone, highlighting a trend toward more mature comic adaptations amid changing viewer expectations.
Scardapane highlighted that while he enjoys The Penguin, he believes Daredevil: Born Again is "even more grounded" and claims to have a "darker tone" than previous adaptations.
The showrunner stated that this series is "much darker" than its Netflix predecessor, emphasizing a pace and scope that wasn’t achievable before.
He noted, "This is as far as a Disney Plus show has ever gone," indicating a push toward more mature content.
Scardapane remarked on the competitive landscape among shows, calling The Penguin direct competition, pushing the idea of a 'p**sing contest' for gritty storytelling.
