Daredevil: Born Again is scrapped as Kevin Feige is not happy with the footage of shot episodes

Charlie Cox's journey as the Devil of Hell's Kitchen has been turbulent at best. While he took on the role all the way back in 2015, Netflix's Daredevil was eventually cancelled three years later after its third season. However, it also became the most critically acclaimed show from Marvel in the process. After his appearance in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (2022) and Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), it seems that Cox is once again feeling the backburner as the show goes through turbulence.

3 things you need to know

• Charlie Cox was last seen as Daredevil in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.
• Daredevil: Born Again was announced during SDCC 2022.
• The role of Daredevil was first essayed by Ben Affleck in the 2003 film of the same name.

Daredevil: Born Again to Born Again?

As per a report from The Hollywood Reporter, Daredevil: Born Again has entered yet another delay in what is turning out to be a difficult production. Being announced all the way back in July 2022, Daredevil: Born Again had a production pause in mid-June amid the Writer's Strike. 

After the 18 episodes shot for the project were reviewed by Kevin Feige and other Marvel executives, they came to the conclusion that the show was not good enough. Moreover, the show's head writers Chris Ord and Matt Corman were let go by Marvel Studios in September while the directors of the show were also released for creatively rebooting the show. 

Marvel to prioritise quality control

Marvel Studios has seen a downward trend of positive reception as of late. While the Elisabeth Olsen starrer WandaVision, which was the first Disney+ MCU show, became an Emmy winner, other Marvel shows such as Ms Marvel, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, and Secret Invasion have all been panned by the critics. 

Kevin Feige and the team's latest actions are in part a response to this negative trend of reviews that ultimately narrows down to a lack of quality control during the production. On the other hand, the Tom Hiddleston starrer Loki Season 2 is currently receiving positive reviews from audiences and critics alike.
