Fans have debated whetherDaredevil: Born Againwould be a full reboot or a soft reboot ever since the news of key characters not returning to the series surfaced. To clarify, if Netflix were to relaunch one of its shows, the character’s journey would begin over again, with no ties to the original show.

On the other hand, a soft reboot would bring in new stories and characters while keeping some of the previous show’s hallmarks. There has been no formal word on the nature of the Marvel Studios reboot yet.
The legendary legal practice of Nelson and Murdock may be ending, as reports have it that Matt Murdock will soon be affiliated with a new firm. Instead, he is said to be working with Kristen McDuffie, portrayed by Nikki M. James.
Despite their excitement among fans, these rumors should be taken with a grain of salt since they have not been proven. IfDaredevil: Born Againis related to the Netflix show, it would take place a long time after the events of season three, which ended in 2018.
