Note: This story contains spoilers from “Daredevil: Born Again” Episode 1.
Years after the original series ended on Netflix, “Daredevil” is back on a new streaming home — but the jump to Disney+ isn’t the only thing that’s changed for Marvel’s beloved street-level superhero in “Daredevil: Born Again.”
In the new series’ haunting, 16-minute opening sequence, Matt Murdock’s life is turned upside down after Benjamin Pointdexter (Wilson Bethel), aka Bullseye, attacks, killing Matt’s best friend, Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson). The heartbreaking character death was widely speculated about, leaked online and telegraphed in the lead up to the “Born Again” premiere, so it’s Daredevil’s response that might surprise audiences even more — he intentionally tries to kill someone.
