Reports ofMarvel Studios putting the brakes on their outputseem to be gaining a little more traction as 2024’s Disney+ line-up appears to have changed again to that originally revealed by Kevin Feige last year. There are currently only two Marvel series that are reported to be guaranteed a release this year, which areSecret InvasionandLokiseason two, and a new report by insider KC Walsh, viaThe Direct, it seems that 2024 is also going to see a small number of releases which could signal a delay for the highly anticipatedDaredevil: Born Againseries.
The original plan for Marvel’s Disney+ shows included five projects, withEcho, IronheartandX-Men ’97expected to line up alongsideSecret InvasionandLoki. However, with new suggestions that Disney CEO Bob Iger has instigated a quality over quantity rule over Marvel’s output it seems that some of these shows will now fall back into 2024. In turn, that causes a knock on effect for other series that had been expected to land next year including the 18-episode longDaredevil: Born Again.
The latest update indicated thatEcho, IronheartandAgatha: Coven of Chaoscould all end up being released in 2024 as the only MCU series of the year. Naturally, there could be additions to this list, which could arrive in the same fashion as last year’sWerewolf by Nightspecial, which was not announced until a month before its premiere. The main thing to take from this is that if it holds true, thenDaredevil: Born Againis likely to not make it to screens until 2025.

Will Daredevil: Born Again be Pushed Back in Marvel’s Schedule?
There are many things seem to be up in the air at the moment at Marvel Studios. This year seemed to be pretty much set in stone as far as their movie output was concerned, but in the last couple of weeks The Marvels has had its premiere date pushed to November after being expected to arrive in July. With the movie seemingly linked to Secret Invasion, the reported delay of that series until May would explainThe Marvels’ latest schedule slip.
In addition to this,Lokihas always been slated to arrive in Summer 2023, but once again, ifSecret Invasionhas been pushed to a May release, then that series is likely to move back to the fall. If that trend continues, then it would be very likely forDaredevil: Born Againto receive a hefty shove in to 2025’s releases rather than 2024 as planned.
Filming onDaredevil: Born Againis reported to be only starting in the next few weeks, and considering that shoot is expected to take up much of the year, it would once again put a lot of pressure on post-production teams to make everything perfect in just six or seven months. That is something that has been reportedly causing more and more issues for Marvel Studios recently, and it maybe that the next few years may see a dramatic slow-down in the MCU’s overall output to try and counter those issues.
