Summary

  • Marvel Studios has officially released the first trailer for Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 highlighting a gritty street-level conflict in New York City
  • The new footage confirms the high-stakes return of Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones and Elden Henson as Foggy Nelson within the primary MCU continuity
  • Wilson Fisk has tightened his grip on the five boroughs by declaring martial law and enforcing a strict curfew to hunt down costumed vigilantes

Marvel Studios and Disney+ have unleashed the first official trailer for Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, signaling a massive shift for the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s street-level landscape. The new footage centers on Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock as he navigates a dystopian New York City overseen by Mayor Wilson Fisk, who has leveraged his political power to initiate a violent crackdown on the city’s masked heroes.

The trailer offers a first look at the fallout of the first season’s creative overhaul, leaning heavily into the dark, noir-inspired atmosphere that defined the character’s original television run. In a major development for the wider franchise, the footage confirms the return of Jessica Jones, played by Krysten Ritter, marking her official re-entry into the fold. This reunion suggests that Marvel is actively rebuilding the interconnected Defenders mythos, using Daredevil as the central narrative hub for future street-level stories.

Beyond the return of familiar allies like Foggy Nelson, the teaser previews the introduction of a new character played by Matthew Lillard and hints at a mysterious secondary villain targeting Fisk’s regime. With Mayor Fisk declaring martial law across the five boroughs, the stakes have escalated from a personal vendetta to a full-scale urban war. The production quality reflects a more cohesive creative vision this season, focusing on the harrowing reality of living under Fisk’s rule while setting the stage for a potential Punisher television special and a confirmed third season.

Check out the trailer above. Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 is scheduled to premiere on Disney+ on March 24.
