Daredevil: Born Again’s first trailer ‘is coming’, Marvel star says, but it’s been delayed for a very obvious reason
Marvel Studios won’t be releasing Born Again’s first teaser any time soon
The first trailer for Daredevil: Born Again “is coming”, according to one of its stars, but its release has been delayed due to the ongoing Los Angeles wildfires.
Writing on X/Twitter yesterday (January 13), Vincent D’Onofrio, who’ll play Wilson Fisk/Kingpin, confirmed that the Marvel TV show’s official teaser would debut sometime soon. However, the comic giant appears to have postponed its release because of the ever-changing nature of the devastating wildfires that have ravaged LA since January 7.

D’Onofrio didn’t elaborate on when the trailer might arrive, but Marvel clearly feels it would be inappropriate to release promotional content for the show at a time when LA, including its suburb of Hollywood, aka the heart of America’s entertainment industry, and its people are enduring such a terrible ordeal. I’ve reached out to Marvel and parent company Disney for comment, and I’ll update this article if I hear back.
With less than two months to go until Daredevil: Born Again premieres on Disney Plus – it’ll arrive on March 4 (US) and March 5 (UK and Australia) – fans have grown increasingly concerned over the absence of an official trailer. Indeed, we’ve seen less than 30 seconds of footage from the spiritual successor to Netflix’s Daredevil TV series – the first few seconds of which formed part of a video celebrating Marvel’s 85th birthday in August 2024. That blink-and-you’ll-miss-it clip was followed up by 20 more seconds of new scenes two months later when Marvel revealed the release dates, launch windows, and first footage for its 2025 TV line-up.
Daredevil: Born Again is one of 26 new TV shows we’re most excited to watch in 2025, and with good reason. As I mentioned, it’ll pick up events a few years after the end of Netflix’s own Daredevil project, which ran for three seasons before its cancellation in 2019. With other actors, including Charlie Cox, Eldon Henson, Deborah Ann Woll, and Jon Bernthal joining D’Onofrio in reprising their roles from that series, plus the continuation and integration of the Netflix show’s story into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), it’s clear to see why so many are eager to see the trailer and series as a whole.
