Overview

  • Charlie Cox labeled Episode 5, 'With Interest,' of 'Daredevil: Born Again' as his least favorite, citing its unrealistic bank-heist premise for 2025.
  • The episode, centered on Matt Murdock foiling a robbery without donning his Daredevil suit, remained unchanged from the series' original 18-episode draft before the 2023 writers' strike.
  • Cox criticized the episode’s plot as reminiscent of a '1970s game,' arguing the heist lacked modern technological plausibility.
  • Despite Cox’s reservations, Episode 5 has been praised by fans and ranks as one of Disney+’s highest-rated episodes internally.
  • The episode reflects the series' original vision before its significant creative overhaul, which reduced the season to nine episodes.
