Before Daredevil: Born Again, Netflix Marvel shows were viewed as secondary

Discover the behind-the-scenes drama of the Netflix Marvel shows and their tumultuous relationship with the bigscreen MCU. According to stars like Charlie Cox, there was uncertainty about where their world ended and the MCU began.

During a panel at C2E2, Cox revealed, “We felt a bit like a stepchild. We couldn’t directly reference Iron Man or the Hulk, but had to get creative with hints like ‘the big green guy’ or ‘the man with the iron hammer.'”

Wilson Bethel, who portrays Bullseye, shared a startling revelation, recalling being told, “you will never cross over into that world.” Cox added a curious anecdote from the set of Defenders involving a fake Avengers poster retweeted by Robert Downey Jr., leaving the cast puzzled.

Now, with Daredevil: Born Again, the characters are firmly part of the MCU family, leading Cox to express that it “felt like we’ve been adopted.” Dive into the action-packed world of Daredevil: Born Again season 2 streaming weekly on Disney+.
