3 Reasons Why Marvel Studios ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Gets Delayed Again
Introduction –
In the wake of the global pandemic that disrupted the entertainment industry in 2020, the ripples of its impact are still being felt even three years later. Marvel Studios, once known for its impeccable project release schedules, has encountered its share of setbacks. Not only did the pandemic lead to delays, but now, strikes by the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA have created a fresh wave of challenges. This article delves into the unfolding narrative of how these factors have reshaped Marvel’s production timelines and left fans eagerly awaiting the future of their beloved superhero shows.
1. COVID-19
the impact of the pandemic, which began at its height in 2020, continues to reverberate through the entertainment industry even three years later. Before 2020, Marvel Studios had a near-flawless track record when it came to releasing their projects on schedule. However, since then, many of their highly anticipated projects have faced multiple delays. It’s worth noting that while Hollywood, in general, has moved past the initial pandemic-related delays
2. Workers Strike
A new challenge has arisen in the form of strikes by the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA. Marvel Studios, in response to these strikes, recently made the difficult decision to push back the release dates of most of their upcoming projects. This move has had a significant impact, as it means that the second season of “Loki” will be the last live-action show from the studio to premiere this year.
Several highly anticipated shows, including “Ironheart,” “Agatha: The Darkhold Diaries,” and “Echo,” have also fallen victim to these delays. This situation has resulted in an unprecedented situation for Disney+, with more Marvel shows slated for release in 2024 than ever before. While it wasn’t explicitly stated in the initial reporting from The Hollywood Reporter, it seems highly likely that “Daredevil: Born Again” will also face delays, potentially pushing its release well into the next year or even beyond.
3. Work Pressure
“Daredevil” was one of Marvel’s earlier projects to be affected by the strikes, with production being partially suspended earlier in the summer. The show’s ambitious 18-episode first season was originally scheduled to film from around February through Thanksgiving. However, as of now, only three of the planned 10 months of production have taken place. Given this rate of progress, it increasingly appears that “Daredevil: Born Again” may not see the light of day until 2025 at the earliest. Marvel has yet to make a final decision regarding this show and another project, “Wonder Man.”
For those eagerly awaiting more news about “Daredevil: Born Again,” it’s advisable to stay tuned to sources like ComicBook.com for the latest updates. Meanwhile, fans of the character can catch up on the first three seasons of “Daredevil” and the limited series “The Defenders,” all of which are now available to stream on Disney+. If you haven’t already, you can sign up for Disney+ to enjoy these shows and more. The entertainment industry continues to navigate through these challenges, and fans can only hope for smoother waters ahead for their favorite Marvel projects.
