Cox spoke to NME late last year about his role in the upcoming reboot.

“This has to be reincarnation, it has to be different, otherwise why would we do it?” Cox told the publication. “My opinion is that this character works best when it’s geared toward a slightly more mature audience. My hunch is that on Disney+ it’s going to be dark, but it probably won’t be as gory.”

Daredevil: Born againwhich had been filming in and around New York, was three months into an eight-month shoot for a new 18-episode season for Disney+ when it halted production due to the WGA strike.
