Charlie Cox has been winning the hype of fans worldwide for years ever since he picked up the mantle of Daredevil back in 2015 for three spectacular seasons of Netflix’sDaredevil. And now, with his upcoming highly-awaited seriesDaredevil: Born Again, fans are hoping to see more adventures of Matt Murdock in a darker tone that would perfectly suit the theme of the character.
Perhaps, this dream of fans just might be on its way to coming true, considering how recent reports state that Marvel has gotten Netflix’sDaredevilspin-offThe Punisher‘s executive producer on board as one of the new showrunners of the upcoming Disney+ series, which only points at one thing: more mature and violent content.

Previously, fans were only half-heartedly hoping for more mature themes in the upcoming Disney+ seriesDaredevil: Born Againdue to Disney being renowned for providing‘family-friendly content’. However, that just might change now considering how Marvel executives have decided to take a different route for the show.
Not only this but the onboarding ofDario Scardapane, the executive producer of superhitThe Punisherseries, for the post of the new showrunner for the Disney+ series, has further increased fans’ hope in a better and darker show.
This is because Netflix’sDaredevilspin-offThe Punisherwas not only dark, but it also showed themes that were more gory and mature than ever. Furthermore, the series didn’t shy away from creating content that could give years’ worth of psychological and emotional trauma to the audience.
What’s more is thatDaredevil: Born Againwill also reportedly be the first real R-rated test series for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This further confirms just how gruesome and violent the upcoming series can be expected to be.
WhileCharlie Coxwill be reprising his role of The Devil of Hell’s Kitchen, the much-awaited show will also seeVincent D’Onofrioreturning as Kingpin aka Wilson Fisk, andJon Bernthalpicking up the mantle to once again play The Punisher aka Frank Castle.
