With the publication of the official trailer for the second season of Daredevil: Born Again, Marvel raises expectations by reincorporating Detective JessicaJones, played by Krysten Ritter, into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).Those who follow the stories of lawyer Matt Murdock, played by Charlie Cox, will witness how this new alliance significantly alters the development of the open war against Wilson Fisk, who is now mayor of New York.
The return of Jessica Jones is not the only notable event shown in the trailer.Matt Murdock reappears after a period of absence, with his disappearance evidenced by a missing person’s poster that underlines the critical state of the city.The trailer confirms that Daredevil, despite not having access to his civilian identity, continues to confront Kingpin’s forces.This, institutionally supported as mayor, has taken his personal crusade to the level of public policy through a strict anti-protagonist law.
In this context, Jessica Jones demonstrates her usual physical and emotional strength, accompanied by her sarcastic humor, when fighting Fisk’s henchmen.The relationship between the two, previously explored in The Defenders, deepens on this occasion: Jessica goes from being a circumstantial ally to becoming Murdock’s main support, coming to physically assist him after a fight, as shown in one of the scenes in the trailer.
Other recognizable characters also return.Deborah Ann Woll reprises her role as Karen Page, the journalist who reactivates her romantic bond with Murdock. Elden Henson returns as Foggy Nelson;His appearance is interpreted as a flashback or a dream scene, since his character was killed by Bullsey in the previous season.The presence of Wilson Bethel in the role of Bullseye, after his escape from prison, adds tension in an already hectic city.In addition, Michael Gandolfini plays Daniel Blake, Fisk’s protégé, and Arty Froushan plays Buck Cashman, the villain’s right-hand man.
The new season focuses on the conflict between the city administration and the heroes.Both the trailer and the synopsis point out that Mayor Wilson Fisk not only controls local politics, but also uses his power to actively persecute those who carry out their vigilante work, turning Daredevil into the main public enemy.The new law limits the actions of heroes and citizens alike, since now receiving help from a vigilante can be interpreted as a crime.
The preview shows Fisk in a new context: he steps into the boxing ring, symbolizing his willingness to fight both physically and politically to consolidate his power.For the population, the feeling of insecurity persists: while Fisk promises order from the government and the police intensify their campaign against the masked figures, the gangs and criminals take advantage of the vacuum left by the heroes, who are hindered by the new regulations.In this scenario, Jessica Jones makes her appearance, supporting Murdock when he needs it most and exemplifying how personal and strategic ties can challenge established authority.
Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again will premiere globally on March 24 on Disney, positioning itself as Marvel’s next major television release for 2026, after the premiere of Wonder Man. Those responsible for the series have confirmed that VisionQuest, the final installment of the WandaVision trilogy, will be released later, which establishes a release schedule that maintains interest among fans.
The return of Jessica Jones to the main MCU, along with new plot developments, demonstrates the franchise’s intention to reinforce previous alliances and explore new dynamics in an environment marked by institutional hostility.The reaction from fans has been immediate: on social networks there is a high activity of conversations about the return of Krysten Ritter and the development of classic characters in the midst of a new type of threat, state persecution.
