The creative team behind Daredevil: Born Again has clarified where the Disney+ series sits in the Marvel calendar \u2014 and their answer reshapes expectations for the upcoming Spider-Man movie. A producer says season two unfolds before Spider-Man: Brand New Day, but the show’s star has publicly denied any role in that film, leaving crossover hopes open but uncertain.<\/p>\n
The timing matters because both projects are set in New York and Marvel executives have hinted the two stories are linked. That connection raises immediate questions for viewers tracking the MCU timeline and for fans eager to see street-level heroes collide on screen.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Black Girl Nerds, producer Sana Amanat<\/strong> confirmed that Daredevil: Born Again season 2<\/strong> takes place before the events of Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/strong>. Amanat added that while the programs are being handled carefully to avoid spoiling one another, there are some overlapping characters that will feed into the Spider-Man film.<\/p>\n That comment stops short of naming any specific faces or plot beats, but it does establish a clear sequence: the next season of the Marvel TV show precedes the next Spidey movie on the MCU timeline.<\/p>\n On March 18, actor Charlie Cox<\/strong>, who returns as Matt Murdock\/Daredevil, told Jimmy Kimmel he is not part of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Cox was adamant \u2014 and even joked about how actors sometimes deny roles to avoid spoilers \u2014 but gave a straightforward denial when pressed.<\/p>\n Two factors make his statement noteworthy. First, Cox\u2019s Daredevil already made a cameo in Spider-Man\u2019s last big-screen outing, so fans naturally speculate about another crossover. Second, Marvel has a habit of keeping casting tight-lipped; past denials from other actors have occasionally preceded surprise appearances.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \n<\/ul>\n For viewers trying to follow continuity, the new clarification means the events on Daredevil\u2019s next season could directly shape elements in Spider-Man\u2019s movie \u2014 even if the series\u2019 lead does not cross over. Small character beats, new alliances, or unresolved plot threads introduced on TV could be referenced or exploited on the big screen.<\/p>\n From a production standpoint, the order also suggests Marvel is deliberately sequencing its storytelling across platforms: television entries can set up theatrical moments while being kept narratively self-contained enough to protect surprises.<\/p>\n Actors frequently deflect questions about secret appearances; sometimes they\u2019re telling the truth, sometimes they\u2019re preserving a surprise. Cox\u2019s clear refusal is credible, but until casting credits and final film footage are public, a sliver of doubt remains.<\/p>\n Still, the stronger headline from a creative perspective is Amanat\u2019s timeline confirmation: season two will come first, which shapes expectations about how the two properties will relate.<\/p>\n Expect more official detail to arrive as the release dates for both the Disney+ season and the Spider-Man film draw nearer. Viewers tracking the MCU should watch for press releases, episode synopses, and credited cast lists \u2014 those will be the clearest indicators of any substantive crossover.<\/p>\n For now, the takeaway is straightforward: the series will set up events that occur before Spider-Man\u2019s next chapter, but a Matt Murdock appearance in that film has been publicly ruled out by its actor. That leaves fans waiting for further confirmation from Marvel\u2019s promotional rollout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":43558,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"schema_org_data":"{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Sana Amanat\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/82RbDrWssbFC9cYXGlZQHhmvwR9.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/1381999\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Charlie Cox\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/jBHDZ8MA4I7krNQx4IfqdfPfleD.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/23458\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Jimmy Kimmel\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/wVVvvIwDtCgArdp0fsmjcM2tYyr.jpg\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/78303\"]},{\"@type\":\"TVSeries\",\"name\":\"Daredevil: Born Again\",\"image\":\"https:\/\/image.tmdb.org\/t\/p\/w500\/xDUoAsU8lQHOOoRkFiBuarmACDN.jpg\",\"dateCreated\":\"2025-03-04\",\"aggregateRating\":{\"@type\":\"AggregateRating\",\"ratingValue\":8,\"bestRating\":\"10\",\"ratingCount\":708},\"description\":\"Matt Murdock, a blind lawyer with heightened abilities, is fighting for justice through his bustling law firm, while former mob boss Wilson Fisk pursues his own political endeavors in New York.
