Marvel Studios is doubling down on momentum. On the same day it premieres its first Disney+ series of the year, Wonder Man, the studio has officially unveiled the first trailer for Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, giving fans their clearest look yet at what’s shaping up to be one of Marvel’s most anticipated releases of 2026.
The trailer confirms that Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 will now debut on March 24th, shifting from the previously rumored March 4th release date. Like its first season, new episodes will roll out weekly, with the season finale scheduled for May 12th. Marvel has already signaled strong confidence in the revival, as the series has been renewed for a third season ahead of Season 2’s premiere.
Jessica Jones Returns And The Marvel Netflix Era Expands
One of the trailer’s biggest reveals is the official return of Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones. While her involvement had been reported previously, this marks the first time Marvel Studios has showcased footage of the beloved character within the Born Again continuity. The reveal further strengthens Marvel’s ongoing reintegration of its Netflix-era heroes into the broader MCU, reinforcing the darker, street-level tone that has resonated strongly with audiences.
The teaser also introduces Matthew Lillard (Scream) in his first MCU appearance. Though Lillard has described his role as “small,” his presence adds another intriguing layer to an already stacked ensemble and signals Marvel’s continued interest in blending prestige performers with genre storytelling.
The Notable Absence Of The Punisher
While the trailer offers plenty to celebrate, one absence is difficult to ignore, which is Jon Bernthal’s Punisher. After playing a pivotal role in Season 1, Frank Castle appears to be sitting out Season 2… at least for now. That said, Bernthal is far from gone. Marvel has confirmed a Punisher special set to debut on Disney+ around the same time as Born Again Season 2, suggesting a strategic narrative separation rather than a full departure.
Bernthal is also slated to appear later this year in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, starring alongside Tom Holland and Mark Ruffalo, which hits theaters on July 31st. The move further underscores Marvel’s long-term plans for the character across multiple corners of the MCU.
A Cornerstone Of Marvel’s 2026 Lineup
With its grounded tone, returning fan-favorite characters, and expanding cast, Daredevil: Born Again continues to position itself as a cornerstone of Marvel’s Disney+ slate. The Season 2 trailer highlights tension, legacy, and escalation. All hallmarks of a series that has successfully bridged Marvel’s past with its evolving future.
Fans can watch the first official teaser for Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 now, and catch up on Season 1 streaming on Disney+. As Marvel leans further into serialized, character-driven storytelling, Born Again appears ready to lead the charge.
