The showrunner of Netflix’s Daredevil tackles Marvel over its approach to Daredevil: Born Again
Steven DeKnight says he’s “delighted” that the studio realized its mistake.
After months and months of development, Daredevil: Born Again was put on hiatus to be completely redesigned by Marvel. Head writers Chris Ord and Matt Corman have been quietly removed from the project as have the series’ directors, while some previously completed scenes and episodes will be retained with other elements added.
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. https://t.co/ehrbcyhR02
