DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN & IRONHEART Trailers Screen At Disney Upfronts - Here's A Breakdown Of What Was Shown

Last night during Disney's 2024 Upfronts presentation, we finally got release dates for Agatha All Along and Daredevil: Born Again, as well as confirmation that Ironheart will debut on Disney+ sometime in 2025.

New logos for the shows were also unveiled, and while teaser trailers were screened for those in attendance, they have not (and likely won't be) released online.

Different versions of the teasers are sure to be officially released before too long, but for now, we have a breakdown of the footage (via IGN).

The Born Again promo sees Matt Murdock don his familiar red costume, as his voiceover warns someone that the "entire system is against you... it's often David vs. Goliath." We then catch glimpses of Kingpin, Foggy Nelson, and Karen Page, and shots from a brief action sequence.

Right at the end, Murdock is asked, "what kind of a lawyer are you." He responds with, "a really good one," before putting on a broken pair of his signature tinted glasses.

The Ironheart teaser showed even less, with Riri Williams struggling to put her prototype armor together by stealing various parts from around her MIT campus, and then getting kicked out of the institute. The trailer concludes with "a couple of badass Ironheart suit shots."

Here is IGN's more detailed description of the Agatha All Along footage.

"It opened with Agatha Harkness not as the witch we saw in WandaVision, but as a detective struggling with a murder case. As she glances at a list of dates, next to October 13, a familar name appears: "W. Maximoff."

Aubrey Plaza's character appears after that, asking Agatha, "Is this really how you see yourself?" "That witch is gone, leaving you in a distorted spell," Plaza says. "Claw your way out." We then see Agatha snap out of it, saying, "She took every bit of power had. I can be that witch again."

What follows are a number of eerie, witchy sequences as Agatha vows to walk the Witch's Road and build her coven. Then, we get a quick look at Patti LuPone's character. "What witch in her right mind would join Agatha Harkness' coven?" LuPone says. Agatha gasps and responds, "I'm not looking for right-minded witches."

Joining Cox as Matt Murdock and Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk will be Deborah Ann Woll (Karen Page) and Elden Henson (Foggy Nelson), who were not going to be a part of the new series originally. Jon Bernthal will also reprise his role as Frank Castle/The Punisher, along with Wilson Bethel as the villainous Bullseye.

Michael Gandolfini, Margarita Levieva, Nikki M. James, Michael Gaston, Arty Froushan, Clark Johnson, Lou Taylor Pucci, and Hunter Doohan are also on board in supporting roles.

The Punisher writer Dario Scardapane is believed to have come aboard as the project's new showrunner, but that's yet to be made official.

Specific plot details are still under wraps, but we know that Born Again will see Matt Murdock/Daredevil face-off against his old nemesis the Kingpin, who we last saw rushing back to New York in the season finale of Echo. Fisk will likely be either running for mayor of NYC or already appointed to the position when the story gets underway.

Ironheart will continue the adventures of Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne), who we first met in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

In the comics, Riri is encouraged to suit-up and fight crime by Tony Stark, who becomes a mentor of sorts to the young hero. Stark's death in Avengers: Endgame would obviously make that particular dynamic very difficult to replicate, but Ironheart is expected to carry on Iron Man's legacy (to some extent, at least).

As for the villains, Anthony Ramos (In The Heights, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts) will play The Hood, and even though his casting still hasn't been officially announced, Sacha Baron Cohen (Sweeney Todd, Borat) is expected to make his MCU debut as Mephisto (unless he shows up in Agatha All Along first).

...loved today's worldbuilding.
The cliffhanger though, not so much.

@DrReedRichards - those DD shots were cool. Also good to see Parker an Mj in their animated series outfits. A decent finale imo. But do wonder....has Rogue and Sunspot always been able to use their powers in space????

@DrReedRichards - Cliffhanger was weak, ngl.

@UniqNo - since Rogue permanently absorbed the superhuman powers and the psyche of Carol Danvers this provides her with her physicals abilities, such as breathing in space I would assume. She possesses mutant human/Kree physiology

And Sunspot is literally in solar form, so surviving in space should be no issue being encased in solar energy.

@FireandBlood -

Wouldn't call it weak, but certainly underwhelming. Which is a shame, 'cause the rest of the episode was spectacular, in terms of animation and fight choreography. But it eventually felt so sudden and anticlimactic to be time-displaced with no clear resolution.

@UniqNo -

Rogue having absorbed Carol's powers and Roberto going full solar as Sunspot, it makes sense for them to function in the void of outer space. I'm morre concerned with how Jubilee was able to survive, lol.

@FireandBlood @DrReedRichards

I thought it was a little too sudden but still effective. They dangled a few really interesting elements at the least, so speculation will be interesting. Interested to see the Clan Askani lore dug into.

But basically, they kind of shot themselves in the foot with last week's PERFECT cliffhanger. I don't think anything was going to be better than the shot that ended on. In comparison, this one was a tad underwhelming.

The mid-credit scene was cool though this week.

@GhostDog -

NGL, I'm glad they're not gettting rid of Remy entirely and instead bringing him back as Death. Makes me think that drifter logan is gonna be used as War, especially given his quote to Erik.

Also, is Askani's Nate goign to be X-Man?
GhostDog
GhostDog - 5/15/2024, 9:00 AM
@DrReedRichards - My first thought with Askani Nate was X-Man. Wee may get some elements from Age of Apocalypse

Mutant Jesus vs Mutant Pharaoh incoming.

@DrReedRichards @GhostDog - I know Captain Marvel has those abilities but she was still Ms Marvel when Rogue absorbed those powers.

For some reason I thought Sunspot's powers worked like Humam Torch and still needed Oxygen to burn, but to still be able to breathe? Eh slight nitpicks but season has been awsome. Magneto is MVP.

@DrReedRichards - it's only been a day! I wasn't ready for this thread to show in this article.

First of all...

Secondly, my initial comment was kept vague enough and referencing only a cameo on purpose. If you got spoilt by reading the rest of the conversation, I'm sorry to say that it's entirely on you.

@bkmeijer1 -

Guys, with all due respect, the details came in much later comments. Of you kept reading, how is it on me or the rest of the users here?
bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 5/15/2024, 9:46 AM
@DrReedRichards - True. You kickstarted the thread though. I just scrolled past quickly, but still caught a few glimpses. I think I got off fine though.

Don't see why supermanrex got so mad about it though. It's on @UniqNo, @FireandBlood, @GhostDog too for dropping some spoilers.
Conquistador
Conquistador - 5/15/2024, 9:53 AM
@bkmeijer1 - well I didn't specify what happened in the story. More questioning certain mutants powers. But whatever.

supermanrex - 5/15/2024, 10:02 AM
@DrReedRichards - that's still a sucker punch trap. im reading comments expecting Disney up front comments then it just shifts to today's xmen finale. bullshit. at least put a spoiler warning before you got off topic. then you showed a picture. you could have waited for the eventual article they just posted about the episode to have that discussion.

@DrReedRichards - Love ya dude, but posting that image honestly was a bit of a dick move. Not all of us have the luxury of watching these things immediately and would be a great surprise to have caught on first viewing this evening. Couple days from now is fair game but the day of, on a completely unrelated article? I expect Josh to spoil things for me, it’s a shame it was you 😕
bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 5/15/2024, 10:54 AM
@UniqNo - yeah, like I said I got off light. There's no big spoilers I caught. It's just not the article for them imo
DrReedRichards
DrReedRichards - 5/15/2024, 11:51 AM
@CerealKiller1, @supermanrex -

If that's the case, I'm legit sorry, guys. Didn't expect the thread to go into such detail, so I apologize if it ruined the experience for you.

Fun fact: Davis was the lesser known brother of David that actually lost to Goliath hours prior to David defeating him.

Wow. Can't believe they're going full on with ironheart being a thief. Good to hear marvel still hasn't found their moral center.

Can't wait for the scene where she traps an entire prison in a giant avalanche. 🤣
