In the midst of a falling MCU, Marvel Studios has some bold decisions to make and storylines to revamp if it wants to stay relevant. Seeing the underwhelming responses it’s last year’s projects received, withThe Marvelsbeing a box office bomb, Marvel fans have been understandably worried about the superhero realm’s future.
This worry and concern is more evident since the studio is rebooting one of the most fan-favorite Marvel characters of recent years, Daredevil. Starring Charlie Cox as the underdog, his inclusion in the MCU is exciting enough but diehard fans have been hoping Marvel does not mess it up as it did with Captain Marvel inThe Marvelsor many others before her. Yet if the recent interview with Marvel’s head of streaming is true, Kevin Feige has a trump card up his sleeve that might just save the MCU.

Charlie Coxas Daredevil has been a definite hit for Marvel and now fans can hardly wait to see him return. But fans have been worried about Marvel Studios not being able to get the narrative right as well as Cox’s Netflix series did (seeReddit). And the show’screative overhaul, reshoots, and getting new helmers(seeTHR) have been enough to amplify this worry.

Yet it seems not all is lost ifBrad Winderbaum‘s (Marvel Studios Head of Streaming) words are true. As per Winderbaum, the studio, inspired by the overwhelming success ofLokiand the experience of the soon-to-be-releasedX-Men’97played a crucial role in revamping Cox’s upcoming MCU show.
In his interview withThe Hollywood Reporter, Winderbaum stated,
“Loki is one of our most fulfilled characters… So [Loki’s success] is not lost on us, and it has influenced our storytelling like any success has… And I’d certainly say that’s true with Daredevil: Born Again as well, which went through a bit of a reinvention after the strike. Frankly, a lot of that was influenced as much from Loki as it was from our X-Men ’97 experience. It’s about honoring what came before in order to find a new arc for these iconic characters.”
Adding on how he is pretty excited for what’s to come, Winderbaum’s comment indicates that after allKevin Feigewas right to pull the stringsonDaredevil: Born Againand revamp it. Not only is Feige’s approach of respecting the legacy of these characters in line with the fans’ demands, but his trump card will certainly help in potentially changing the MCU dynamics and engagement for good.
