It’s no surprise that Steven DeKnight was not happy about being pushed away from the Daredevil franchise. Upon its move from Netflix to Disney+ and falling under the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it was time for Marvel Studios to redo the project with their style.
Yet those plans have fallen through, with Disney pushing their entire superhero division to revamp their television slate, with Daredevil: Born Again seeing a complete overhaul. The showrunners were rebooted, along with a handful of directors and the already-filmed episodes.
Some felt that DeKnight might rejoice in this fact, but the former showrunner says he is not delighted to see any series scrapped, but there’s an upside to everything.
DeKnight took to social media and said, “I am not happy the show is scrapped and have consistently stated the opposite. However I AM delighted that they finally realized you need an actual showrunner who’s a writer to make a series work.”
