Dario Scardapane, responsible for Daredevil: Born Again, leads the difficult mission of creating a new era for the character while respecting the existing canon. He acknowledges the past portrayal of Matt Murdock in the Netflix series as canon, allowing for references to past events while also indicating that certain elements may be disregarded. Scardapane emphasizes that Marvel has a larger plan in place, and his role is to contribute to this overarching narrative.
Integration of Netflix Series into Canon for Daredevil
Marvel Studios has integrated the Netflix series into the canon of Daredevil, utilizing the established past of the character and the actors from the previous portrayals. This serves as a foundation for the new events in the Daredevil: Born Again series. Scardapane reveals that the new series will pick up from where the Netflix series left off, but not all past events will be directly referenced in the new storyline.
