Cox and D'Onofrio's Netflix
Daredevil series ended after its third season, with both men subsequently portraying versions of their characters Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk in the MCU, most recently in Echo. The studio initially conceived
Daredevil: Born Again as unrelated to the Netflix iteration, excluding characters such as
Deborah Ann Woll's Karen Page and Eldon Heson's Foggy Nelson. Cox told
TV Insider that there was now a lot of crossover between the Netflix series and the upcoming Disney+ show after the Marvel Studio revamp, with D'Onofrio reiterating, "
It originally wasn't going to be at all, but now it's a lot."

Cox believes the studio and fans share the credit for bringing about
the changes that see Daredevil: Born Again pay homage to already established Netflix
Daredevil lore. "I think (it's) the fans. I think (it's) the studio as well," he said. Cox continued, "That's a really fine balance to strike. If you're going to remake a show and call it Season 1, and it was a successful show and beloved, then you've got to do what people liked. But also you've got to have a reason for remaking it. So you have to change it up a bit. And that's just a really fine balance to find."
