The primary antagonist of the first episode of Disney+’s Marvel series “Daredevil: Born Again” is reportedly Muse, a sociopath and serial killer. ‘Daredevil’ by Stan Lee and Bill Everett, the series’ inspiration, describes Muse as a very disturbed killer who thinks that by using the blood and body parts of his victims to make art, he is giving them meaning and purpose. In addition to his superhuman strength to rip corpses apart and his superhuman speed to move without being seen by a human eye, he also possesses the ability to draw in every sensory piece of information. Marvel has not yet made it known who would play the series’ antagonist.
Daredevil: Born Again, a work by Matt Corman and Chris Ord, is a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and follows the same timeline as the franchise’s films and television programmes. Its storyline is anticipated to be distinct from “Daredevil” on Netflix.
Matt Murdock/Daredevil, played by Charlie Cox, returns in the series. In the Netflix series, Vincent D’Onofrio and Jon Bernthal, who play Wilson Fisk/Kingpin and Frank Castle/Punisher, respectively, are reprising their roles. Vanessa Fisk is portrayed by Sandrine Holt, who also played Gillian Cole in “House of Cards,” Simone Martin in “Homeland,” Cheryl Hamlin in “Better Call Saul,” and Susan Jacobs in “Mr. Robot.” The same role is played by Ayelet Zurer in the Netflix series.
