Daredevil: Born Again Earns 18+ Rating, Setting a New Standard for MCU Darkness

The Disney+ series marks Marvel's grittiest project yet, promising brutal action and a darker tone than its Netflix predecessor.

Daredevil: Born Again has received an 18+ rating in the UK, the highest ever for a Marvel Studios project, indicating intense violence and mature themes.
The series is set to debut on Disney+ on March 4, 2025, with Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio reprising their roles from the original Netflix show.
Showrunner Dario Scardapane emphasized a shift toward a faster-paced, crime-focused narrative, drawing inspiration from '90s crime dramas like The Sopranos.
Concerns have been raised about the lack of marketing for the show, with its first teaser released just weeks before the premiere date.
Fans and critics are debating whether the darker tone will preserve the emotional depth and character-driven storytelling that defined the original series.
