- Daredevil: Born Again season 2 takes place before Spider-Man: New Day
- One of the producers of the Disney+ program has confirmed that this will be the case
- However, the series’ lead actor says he will not appear in the Marvel movie.
Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 will precede the events of Spider-Man: New Day – but the lead star of the former says fans shouldn’t expect him to appear in the latter.
Speaking to Black Girl Nerds (BGN) ahead of the Disney+ show’s return, producer Sana Amanat revealed Daredevil: Born AgainThe second Spidey chapter takes place before Spidey’s next big screen adventure.
Until recently, confusion had reigned over how the next two Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) projects would fit together, especially since the pairing is set in New York City. Add in comments from Marvel’s head of TV, Streaming and Animation Brad Winderbaum (via Entertainment Weekly) that their stories are “connected,” and fans have been eager to learn more about where the duo stand in relation to each other in the MCU timeline.

Thanks to Amanat, we finally have a definitive answer, and that’s not the only thought-provoking quote he provided in response to BGN’s question about the upcoming Daredevil and Spider-Man MCU stories.
“We’re trying to dance a little bit among the raindrops,” Amanat said of how closely aligned Born again 2 and spider man 4 are. “But it’s fair to say that the events that happen in season 2 predate what happens in spider man[:Brand New Day]. So, we’re being very careful with the way things are, but there are some shared characters that come into play. spider man 4. And that’s all I can say.”
The devil is in the details
“Some shared characters,” you say? I can’t be the only one whose attention was immediately drawn to the prospect of Daredevil and Spider-Man teaming up in new day. After all, Charlie Cox’s Daredevil (well, his civilian alter ego Matt Murdock) made a brief but sweet cameo in the webslinger’s latest film, aka 2021. Spider-Man: No Way Home.
So, a precedent has been set about the dynamic duo sharing screen time in the MCU. In the comics, the pair also have a close friendship and team up to defeat a common enemy or two (Wilson Fisk/Kingpin, I’m looking at you). So, there’s no reason why Murdock and Peter Parker can’t join forces on the latter’s next film project.
Unfortunately, it seems that our hopes of forming such a team have already been dashed. Promoting born again season 2 on the March 18, 2026 edition of The Jimmy Kimmel Show, Cox denied that he will appear in the Marvel Phase 6 movie.
He was asked if he is secretly part of Spider-Man: New Day‘s cast, Cox responded: “No. Now, if I was In the movie, I would also say no, just to be clear. But no, I’m not in the movie.” Responding to Kimmel’s follow-up “But you could be lying,” Cox added: “I could be lying, but I’m definitely not in it.”
Should we take Cox at his word? He’s not the first Marvel actor to deny he’s in a movie or TV series before appearing in it (*cough* Andrew Garfield *cough*), and Cox has been around long enough to know how to deflect rumors like this without looking suspicious.
For now, I am willing to take his comments at face value and believe that he is not in new daybut I guess we’ll soon find out if he was telling the truth or not.
