Season 2, episode 4 of the upcoming Disney+ series 'Daredevil: Born Again' may have included a subtle tease that Matt Murdock's vigilante alter ego could finally make his way to the Avengers in an upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe film. The appearance of Uatu the Watcher in the episode has sparked speculation that Daredevil is being set up to join the larger multiversal story being told in 'Avengers: Doomsday' and 'Avengers: Secret Wars'.

Why it matters

Daredevil has long been a fan-favorite character that many have wanted to see team up with the Avengers on the big screen. This potential setup in 'Born Again' could be the first step towards making that a reality, further integrating the street-level hero into the MCU's grander narrative.

The details

In the episode, Daredevil is seen tackling Bullseye through a window, and the shape of the hole left behind bears a striking resemblance to Uatu the Watcher, the all-powerful multiversal guardian who has made cameos in several recent Marvel projects. This has led to speculation that Uatu is keeping an eye on Matt Murdock's activities, potentially setting him up to play a role in the Multiverse Saga's climactic events.

  • Daredevil: Born Again season 2 is set to premiere on Disney+ in March 2025.
  • Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled for release in December 2026.
  • Avengers: Secret Wars is scheduled for release in December 2027.
