A lot of MCU fans are biting their fingernails with anticipation of the upcoming Daredevil: Born Again series. As far as I can tell, he really does need to be born again. It’s been 22 years since the original Daredevil movie, and that was by no means a success. Mark Steve Johnson, the director of …
