Hunter Doohan to Play Muse in ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ (Exclusive)

Exclusive: Hunter Doohan (Your Honor and Wednesday) is set to play Muse in Marvel’s ‘Daredevil: Born Again‘.

It has been reported that Muse will serve as the main antagonist in ‘Daredevil: Born Again.’ In Marvel comics, Muse made his first appearance in “Daredevil” (Vol. 5) #17, published in 2012. The character swiftly emerged as a formidable foe for the iconic hero, Daredevil. Muse is a ruthless serial killer motivated by a distorted belief that his victims only attain value when he transforms them into ‘art.’ Displaying disdain for compassion, he fearlessly targets authorities, going so far as to kidnap a judge and kill police officers.

Netflix’s Daredevil and Defenders Shows Officially Canon in Marvel Cinematic Universe with ‘Echo’ Release

With the release of Marvel’s ‘Echo‘ show, Netflix’s Daredevil and other Defenders shows are now officially considered part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The Disney+ ‘Timeline Order’ tab has been updated to include the shows previously produced by Marvel TV.

Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead will co-direct ‘Daredevil: Born Again’. Recently, it was reported that Marvel is rebooting ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ with new writers and directors due to the initial approach not aligning with the action-packed style of the Netflix series. The SAG-AFTRA strike has further complicated matters, leading to the delay of the series release, originally planned for 2024. Only a portion of ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ episodes were filmed, and the series will be reworked, with some existing scenes and elements being retained.

According to the show’s new plot: Marvel Studios presents ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ in which longtime rivals Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) and Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) try to leave behind their darker alter-egos to serve the people of New York only to have their pasts catch up to them.

The new cast for ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ includes Margarita Levieva as Heather Glenn and Nikki M. James as Kristen McDuffie, both of whom were love interests of Murdock in Marvel Comics. Notably, Michael Gandolfini will portray Daniel Blade, Arty Froushan as Buck Cashman, Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle/Punisher, and Genneya Walton as BB Urich.

‘Daredevil: Born Again is set to premiere on Disney+ in 2025.
