Matt Murdock & Wilson Fisk Face New Foe in 'Daredevil: Born Again'

Daredevil: Born Again's New Trailer Reveals a Shocking Alliance: Daredevil and Kingpin Unite Against Muse

A new trailer for Marvel's Daredevil: Born Again, premiering March 4th on Disney+, reveals a surprising twist: Daredevil and Kingpin, longtime adversaries, are apparently teaming up. This collaboration is seemingly driven by a common enemy: the artistically inclined serial killer, Muse.

Who is Muse, and why does this superhuman villain force such an unlikely alliance?

Introducing Muse: A Twisted Masterpiece of Murder

Muse, a relatively recent addition to Daredevil's rogue's gallery (created by Charles Soule and Ron Garney in 2016's Daredevil #11), is a serial killer who views murder as the ultimate art form. His methods are chillingly creative, ranging from blood murals to meticulously posed corpses. His threat to Daredevil is amplified by his ability to disrupt Matt Murdock's radar sense, combining this with superhuman strength and speed.

Muse's initial conflict with Daredevil and Blindspot escalates dramatically, leading to Blindspot's eye injury. Even after his capture and self-inflicted injury, Muse escapes and continues his bloody spree, focusing his attention on New York's vigilantes, creating twisted tributes to figures like the Punisher. This ultimately leads to a final confrontation, resulting in Muse's apparent demise by self-immolation.

Muse's Resurgence in Daredevil: Born Again

Despite his death in the comics, Muse's presence is confirmed in the Daredevil: Born Again trailers, sporting a costume strikingly similar to his comic book counterpart. This suggests the series draws inspiration from more contemporary Daredevil comics, diverging from the original Born Again storyline's focus on Fisk's discovery of Daredevil's identity.

The trailers depict a meeting between Daredevil and Mayor Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio), hinting at a forced alliance against a significant threat. This new threat could very well be Muse. Fisk's anti-vigilante campaign, as seen in the post-credits scene of Echo, directly clashes with Muse's actions, creating a shared enemy for both Daredevil and the newly elected mayor.

The series will also feature other vigilantes, such as the Punisher and White Tiger, who are likely to become targets of Fisk's crackdown, further complicating the situation.

A Necessary Evil: Daredevil and Kingpin's Unholy Alliance

Ultimately, Daredevil: Born Again appears poised to explore the complex and volatile relationship between Daredevil and Fisk, with Muse serving as the catalyst for their uneasy truce. Daredevil's need to stop a ruthless killer, coupled with Fisk's desire to maintain his mayoral authority, forces an alliance neither man likely wants. Muse, with his powers and bloodthirsty artistry, presents an unprecedented challenge to Daredevil, making this unlikely partnership a necessary evil.
