There was a time when Daredevil: Born Once more was presupposed to exist individually from Daredevil and all the opposite live-action Marvel exhibits that had been launched within the 2010s (and might now be streamed with a Disney+ subscription). Thankfully, the artistic overhaul on Born Once more put the kibosh on that strategy, with the brand new sequence acknowledging occasions from its predecessor right here and there because it aired on the 2025 TV schedule. That may make Matt Murdock’s reunion with Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones in Season 2 all of the extra thrilling, although Charlie Cox did deal with a query followers ought to have on their minds forward of Born Once more’s return.
It was confirmed final month that Ritter will reprise her Marvel character for the primary time because the Jessica Jones TV sequence resulted in 2019 after three seasons. Though Jessica and Matt weren’t precisely essentially the most chummy pairing once they teamed up with Luke Cage and Iron Fist in The Defenders, she’ll undoubtedly be a welcome ally for what’s coming in Daredevil: Born Once more Season 2. However whereas showing on Deadline’s Crew Name podcast, Cox made this astute level:
What’s difficult is, when did Jessica Jones discover out that I am not lifeless? As a result of on the finish of Defenders, everybody assumes I’m lifeless, so I don’t know when… I’ve no recollection of when she [learns]. And I don’t even know if that occurs on or off-screen. However primarily, no matter, sufficient time has handed that you just simply assume that clearly occurred.
In case you’ve forgotten, The Defenders ended with Daredevil getting caught with Elektra Nachos in Midland Circle as explosives had been bringing down the constructing. The ultimate moments of the miniseries confirmed Matt nonetheless alive and being handled in a room with a nun by his aspect, setting the stage for Daredevil Season 3. Nonetheless, that last season barely acknowledged the occasions of The Defenders, not to mention included any of these different title protagonists. So yeah, Charlie Cox is completely appropriate: when and the way did Jessica be taught Matt was nonetheless alive?
Possibly Daredevil: Born Once more will deal with this by some means in Season 2, or perhaps it should simply go unmentioned and we’ll have to simply think about how she obtained the information. Regardless, Charlie Cox is wanting ahead to extra scenes between Matt and Jessica, including:
The enjoyable factor about Jessica and Matt is that they’ve a reasonably humorous dynamic. There’s a mutual respect for each other. I believe she finds him overly critical and an excessive amount of of a choir boy, and he finds her to be crass and making mild of too many critical conditions and possibly just a little bit extra antihero than hero.
Krysten Ritter is the third of the main actors from the Marvel Netflix days to reprise their position on Daredevil: Born Once more, as Season 1 additionally included Jon Bernthal’s Frank Fortress, a.ok.a. The Punisher, who wasn’t current in The Defenders. Bernthal can even be again for Season 2 and is getting his personal Punisher Disney+ particular, though it’s unclear if that may arrive earlier than or after Born Once more’s return. As for Ritter, she posted about her “superhero coaching” just a few weeks in the past, so I stay up for seeing Jessica Jones again in motion subsequent 12 months.
Among the many many different acquainted faces who might be again in Daredevil: Born Once more Season 2, we’ll additionally meet Matthew Lillard’s yet-to-be-revealed character and Lili Taylor because the governor of New York. Like Season 1, Season 2 will start airing in March 2026 as a part of the MCU’s Part Six.
