Marvel Studios has finally confirmed that Daredevil: Born Again will be the next R-rated type of project. The news of it has been back and forth, but with an official release date came a rating that is equivalent to R. The series set to debut on Disney+ on March 4, 2025, will be rated TV-MA.

This marks the third MCU Disney+ series to receive an R-rating, following Echo and Marvel Zombies. The series will continue the story from Netflix’s original Daredevil series, reuniting Matt Murdock with both his allies and enemies, including Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin. It seems as brutal as most people would expect but with the same characters as before.

The announcement of Daredevil: Born Again receiving an R-rating is a significant development for Marvel Studios. It shows that Disney is not afraid to push further into the R-rated areas since Echo and Deadpool & Wolverine came out. Both of those achieved critical acclaim and box office records, so it opens the door to even more movies and shows that should be for more mature audiences.

The R-rating of Daredevil: Born Again suggests that Marvel Studios is willing to explore the Daredevil character’s darker and more mature aspects, which will give a lot more depth and complexity to his story. It also raises the possibility that future MCU projects may adopt a similar rating, further diversifying the studio’s output and catering to a wider audience.

Daredevil: Born Again will see Kingpin, who rose to the position of New York City Mayor in Echo’s post-credits scene, face off against Daredevil once again. The series will also feature the return of Wilson Bethel’s Bullseye from Daredevil Season 3 and introduce a new antagonist, Muse. While the overarching plot for Season 1 remains unclear, Matt’s battles with Kingpin and these other adversaries will be central to his story. The series will mark Matt Murdock’s second appearance in the MCU since his adventures in the Defenders Saga were officially incorporated into the MCU canon. This means the future is bright for Daredevil.
