Solved one of the mysteries regarding Daredevil: Born Again: your classification. This had been one of the points on which the conversations about the series have revolved, having in comparison to the adaptation made by Netflix: how violent could it become? Marvel and Disney have responded: will be rated “R”.
That is to say, will be a series with content oriented to people over 18 years of age. The “R” rating will allow the adaptation to explore different layers of violence and expose more adult themes, either through language or explicit images. But this, within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is something else.
Through the first four phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, one of the most questioned aspects is the tone with which some stories and characters from the comics have been adapted. In general terms, these are productions that retain a youthful tone, accessible to the whole family. This, in contrast to Daredevil from Marvel and Netflix, which was dark and violent. Furthermore, she is considered as one of the best in this mythology.
When classifying with “R” to Daredevil: Born Again, Disney takes a step forward with the intention of showing this character and those associated with him in a more faithful way to the version of the comics. This means that both philosophical pulses and explicit violence should be key aspects of this productionexpected for next year.
Matt Murdock’s Journey
in the Marvel Cinematic Universe until Daredevil: Born Again
The news about the “R” classification to Daredevil: Born Again it was learned through screen rant. This category to the story of Matt Murdock within the Marvel Cinematic Universe represents a leap within what had been seen in the franchise. To understand it, you have to go to the brief journey that the character has.
Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) first appeared in Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021). It was the character’s debut within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. On this occasion, he was shown as a figure close to Peter Parker, retaining the formality and touch of humor with which he had been presented on Netflix.
His next intervention in the franchise occurred in She-Hulk: Lawyer She-Hulk. In this series he can be seen wearing the suit and, also, showing a much more casual version than previously seen. The character seems to have entered a kind of state of peace in which he calmly coexists with his more aggressive side while allowing himself to joke and flirt.
a positive point
This representation generated suspicion in a part of the critics and the followers. It was thought that the Daredevil of the Marvel Cinematic Universe it would be much less violent and dark than the one shown on Netflix. For this reason, the “R” classification becomes important: it invites one to assume that Disney wants to bet on that turbulent side of Matt Murdock’s personality.
Something that this classification also influences is the incorporation of the Punisher into Daredevil: Born Again. The character was confirmed as part of the figures that will appear in the series. He is someone very aggressive and capable of generating chaos of violence. Giving him freedom seems like a coherent decision.
