Daredevil: Born Again Breaks Disney+ 2025 Records

Daredevil: Born Again's debut on Disney+ garnered 7.5 million views within its first five days, marking it as the platform's largest premiere of 2025 so far, though it trailed behind other series like The Acolyte and Agatha All Along in total viewership. The series resurrects the Netflix-era content, bringing back Charlie Cox as Daredevil and Vincent D'Onofrio as Kingpin, while introducing new characters such as White Tiger in a storyline that echoes classic Daredevil comics. Despite the high viewer numbers, some fans and critics noted that the increased budget led to an over-reliance on CGI, detracting from the gritty realism of the original series. Episode 3, titled 'Trial of the Century,' focuses on a courtroom drama involving Hector Ayala (White Tiger), which highlights Matt Murdock's dual role as a lawyer and a superhero, though the absence of Daredevil's action disappointed some viewers. The series has already been renewed for a second season, indicating Disney's commitment to the character's future in the MCU.
