If you’re looking forward to Spider-Man: Brand New Day, it might behoove you to first check out what’s going on Daredevil: Born Again’s second season.
Marvel TV head Brad Winderbaum teased to Entertainment Weekly there’s “a lot of communication” between the two teams to tie the show and film together. Without spoiling anything, he said Born Again “very much exists in the same world [as Brand New Day], and it is important. “We’re in a shared universe together. The Daredevil and Punisher comic books depict acertain tone and idea of New York in a different way than Spider-Man’s. But they both exist in the same universe: everything lines up and the impacts are felt, but we’re able to tell different stories.”
Even before the Punisher was confirmed for Brand New Day, fans have long wondered whether Matt Murdock and Peter Parker could ever share the screen again or explicitly reference one another, particularly since Spider-Man is supposed to feature Peter as a street-level hero. That puts him in the crosshairs of Mayor Fisk’s anti-vigilante rules, but maybe don’t expect to see Tom Holland as part of Matt’s resistance on the small screen.
Winderbaum was separately asked about the chances of Iron Fist and Luke Cage appearing in Born Again season two, where he called the season “a little deeper” than its potential guest stars. What he said about Danny and Luke could also apply to Spider-Man: “There are rewards to be had for fans, but it’s really about the stakes of this world that this Kingpin is building in New York City.” How Fisk and Matt’s war affects Peter and his approach to heroing will be seen on July 31, 2026 when Spider-Man: Brand New Day hits the big screen.
Meanwhile, Daredevil: Born Again returns with season two in 2026.
