- Marvel has finally released Daredevil: Born Again‘s first trailer
- The teaser arrives less than two months before its March 4 launch date
- It had been delayed due to the devastating wildfires that are currently ravaging LA
After what’s felt like an eternity, Marvel has finally released Daredevil: Born Again‘s first trailer to the public.
Just two days after Daredevil: Born Again star Vincent D’Onofrio revealed the teaser had been delayed due to the LA wildfires, a Stories post on Marvel’s official Instagram account confirmed that the trailer would arrive today (January 15). And, with the two-minute video debuting at 7am PT / 10am ET / 3pm GMT, you can now watch it below.
As has become the norm with Marvel trailers, there’s tons to unpack from the TV-MA-rated show’s first teaser. There’s a surprising and increasingly tense meeting between Cox’s Matt Murdock and D’Onofrio’s Wilson Fisk in a diner. Then there are the multiple shots of bloody and wince-inducing action sequences. Oh, and brief looks at the series’ stacked ensemble cast, including confirmation – if more were needed – that two fan-favorite Daredevil characters in Karen Page and Foggy Nelson are definitely back for Born Again. In fact, there are plenty of familiar faces, including Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle/The Punisher and Wilson Bethel’s Bullseye, among a whole host of newcomers, such as the late Kamar de los Reyes’ White Tiger and this season’s other villain in Muse, a serial killer who’s being played by, well, we don’t actually know yet.
The trailer may have only just been revealed, but we’ve known about the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) show’s story synopsis for a while. For those who haven’t read it, here’s what it tells us about Born Again‘s plot: “Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), a blind lawyer with heightened abilities, is fighting for justice through his bustling law firm, while former mob boss Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) pursues his own political endeavors in New York. When their past identities begin to emerge, both men find themselves on an inevitable collision course.”
Outside of that, we know that Born Again will be a direct continuation of the story told in Daredevil, which originally ran on Netflix (it was one of the streamer’s most beloved TV Originals) between 2015 and 2019.

Daredevil: Born Again‘s first trailer has been a long time coming. The Disney Plus show’s inaugural teaser received its worldwide debut at D23 Expo 2024 last August. However, it was exclusively shown to attendees, so the rest of us have had to wait five months for its public reveal.
We have caught glimpses of the highly-anticipated series since then, though. Marvel revealed the briefest of sneak peeks at Daredevil: Born Again in a video celebrating the comic titan’s 85th birthday in August 2024. A further 20 seconds of new Born Again footage formed part of Marvels 2025 TV lineup trailer last October, too, but that’s all we’d been treated to until today’s full trailer debut. Well, aside from leaked set photographs that have Daredevil fans worried about the fate of a beloved character, that is.
Daredevil: Born Again will premiere exclusively on Disney Plus, aka one of the world’s best streaming services, on March 4 (US) and March 5 (UK and Australia) – and I, for one, cannot wait.
