Disney Plus Must Make ‘Daredevil’ Season 4 After New Acquisition

Well, it’s finally been confirmed. Disney Plus is getting all the old Netflix MCU series, plus Agents of SHIELD, on March 16. First the rights to those characters expired, then the rights to the shows themselves, and the former partners turned rivals are splitting up, which means a huge wealth of content planted on Disney Plus.

It also indicates that Disney Plus is ready for more mature content, and are adjusting their parental controls as a result. With all these shows being ported over, one upcoming move makes more sense than all the rest.

It’s time to officially greenlight Daredevil season 4 with the old cast, including Charlie Cox as the lead.

Disney has been dancing around this for some time, with Matt Murdock appearing briefly in No Way Home as Peter Parker’s lawyer, and Kingpin arriving in Hawkeye. There are also rumors Daredevil cast members will appear in the Echo show, and Cox himself is dropping hints about suiting up again.

But I don’t want Daredevil cameos, I want Daredevil season 4 proper. Daredevil season 3 is probably the single best season of a Marvel or DC TV show in history, and we know the showrunners had plans for at least two more seasons after that arc.

Some changes may need to be made. We are now living in a post-Thanos era, where the Netflix shows never got that far in their timelines. Kingpin made a comment that the blip cost him the city, and he’s been working to get back on top. What about Matt and Daredevil? I’m not even sure if he was blipped or not.

This may be easier said than done, given that cast members and crew move on. But I think there would probably be a way to get the band back together again, and there is no existing show from that era that fans want to see more of than Daredevil. I’d argue Jessica Jones and Luke Cage kind of lost their steam by the end (though I’d love to see those characters return elsewhere). Iron Fist went from utter trash to halfway decent in season 2, but if it returns, I’d want it to star Colleen Wing, not Danny Rand. The Punisher is probably my #2 pick for a show that deserves to return, though I did not like season 2 compared to the stellar season 1.

But Daredevil season 4 is an absolute no-brainer. There is nothing stopping Disney from doing this other than logistics, and even in this new era of a dozen Disney Plus shows making it to market, Daredevil season 4 should be a top priority now that they have the ability to get it done.
