As we reach the end of another year, it's time to reflect on the highs and lows of 2025 when it came to entertainment. For Marvel Studios, there were plenty of both, as the majority of its titles were met with strong feedback from audiences and critics, but two of them underperformed at the box office. It fared better on TV, however, with Disney Plus series Daredevil: Born Again receiving solid viewership and a positive response, while Ironheart and animated outings Marvel Zombies, Eyes of Wakanda, and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man were all received positively too.
We know that most of those shows are set to return for more seasons, but perhaps the most highly-anticipated of them all has received something of a troubling update regarding when that sophomore outing might come out.
Daredevil: Born Again season 2 has March 4 release date thrown into question
It goes without saying that the upcoming second season of Daredevil: Born Again is among the most exciting titles of 2026. The first season was a high point for the Marvel Cinematic Universe this year and we're sure that will be the case for the next outing - especially as it's shaping up to be even better. However, the one thing that fans are concerned about is the fact that it's definitive March 4 release date might not be so definitive after all.
As reported by The Direct, the release information for Daredevil: Born Again season 2 has changed on the Disney Plus press site. Originally stated as "Debuts on Disney+ on March 4, 2026", it now simply reads "Debuts on Disney+ 2026". Naturally, this has sparked concern among fans that it won't arrive on that date anymore (and that a delay is in order), with some even pointing out that they knew it was "too good to be true" that the MCU show would find a way to make a strictly annual release work.
What was particularly incredible about all of this was that March 4 was the exact date that the first season arrived on the streaming service, so the fact that season 2 was seemingly planned for the same date is pretty spectacular in this day and age when streaming show tend to have large amounts of time between seasons. But now? Concern that this might not be the case after all.
I think perhaps the most interesting about this is that it would have suggested that Marvel planned on releasing Daredevil: Born Again season 2 on a different day from season 1. After all, March 4 was a Tuesday this year, and it will be a Wednesday next year. While Marvel has released shows on Wednesdays before (the most recent examples being Ironheart and Marvel Zombies), it would be a little odd to change Daredevil's release day midway through its run. It's not out of the question, but it would be an interesting change.
With all of that in mind, could the March 4 date simply have been a mistake after all? Was it simply a duplicate of the season 1 date with the 2026 year added to the end of it? It's possible, but there is an issue with that school of thought: We have known for months that Daredevil: Born Again's second season would arrive in March / springtime 2026, so it was always expected around then. Simply putting an exact date to it made it all the more tangible.
The removal of the March 4 date on the press site is disconcerting as it suggests that not only has the release date changed but that the release month could be in question too. And if that's the case, it might be some time before Marvel Studios confirms the truth. With Wonder Man coming out in January, Marvel TV's focus will be solely on that one for the foreseeable.
