DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN - Work Has Once Again Been Halted As WGA Strike Continues Causing Chaos

Cameras have once again been forced to stop rolling on Daredevil: Born Again due to the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike, and Marvel Studios has now decided to shut down production in New York entirely.

Daredevil: Born Again is currently shooting in New York City...well, it was, anyway.

After filming on the Disney+ series was halted earlier this week, Deadline reports that WGA East pickets near the show's set mean Marvel Studios has now suspended work on the show for the rest of the week. 

The fact writers aren't allowed to contribute in any way to Daredevil: Born Again or make their presence felt on set is already a major issue for a series like this. However, with writers now picketing the reboot in an effort to disrupt production (which is a necessary part of getting what they deserve), we'd be shocked if these delays don't push the Man Without Fear's small screen return even further down the release calendar. 

Very little has been revealed about the show, though we know that Matt Murdock will again find himself clashing with the Kingpin of Crime. Jon Bernthal's Punisher will make an appearance, while Jessica Jones is also rumoured to show up. 

We're hoping to see the MCU's take on Bullseye and Elektra, though that could be wishful thinking! 

Daredevil: Born Again isn't the only TV series that's been affected in recent weeks; George R.R. Martin recently confirmed that Game of Thrones spin-off A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight has closed its writers room "for the duration" of the strike. Work has similarly been halted on the fifth season of Stranger Things.

Daredevil: Born Again is set to premiere on Disney+ in 2024, but whether that will still happen remains to be seen. It's previously been reported that Marvel Studios plans to split the 18-episode season into two 9-episode blocks. 

Stay tuned for updates as we have them.

I hope these productions don't have to continue without writers. Fully supportive of the WGA strike so I hope productions are shut down until an agreement is made.

@Boyle360 - scabs have already started picking up the work and will go uncredited for producers to take the credit. Other productions will go into production with V1 scripts in place and have on set rewrites by directors.
Big productions may have shut down, small productions sadly continue as they don’t have many rewrites (Hallmark Christmas movies are in full swing right now)

I don't support this strike.

I fully understand the issues, so I'd ask that you not fact bomb me with a million one-sided examples of starving writers living in tents.

But I know better. Vent until your spleens explode.

@DocSpock - much appreciated didn't figure you deserved more than that, clearly it rubbed you the wrong way so that must put you in what 2nd or 1st. obviously you don't like getting called out on your bullshit maybe you'll think about that next time you decide to make light of someone else's misfortune. your parents failed with you but I'm sure they already know that. Bye now

@cham2119 -

Do you realise how stupidly you are behaving?

You are exactly what causes so many problems in society today.

I do not support the strike. You do support the strike. That is called a disagreement of opinion. It happens all the time.

But now a new generation is spawning an attitude that if someone disagrees with you, they must be vilified, destroyed, called names, & called extremists or "haters".

Some people prefer vanilla ice cream. Some prefer chocolate. Your inability to disagree with someone without turning into a raging nut is just sad.

For anyone interested, Dan Murrell has once again provided his own piece of very informative material on the subject, and the consequences it may have for the industry as a whole.

Ok, even if you agree with the strike this isnt the way. They're preventing the work of others in the industry, including people like cameramen who clearly make less than the writers.

They should've stuck to not doing their jobs as writers, then let others in the industry choose to stop their productions on their own in support.

@Origame - It's a strike. It's supposed to have bad consequences that effect people negatively. That's the whole point of a strike. It's saying, 'look without us it all goes to shit'. It's a way of making the paymasters listen.
Origame
Origame - 5/11/2023, 7:01 AM
@ObserverIO - yeah, but those consequences are supposed to be from them not doing their job. The point of those bad consequences is to show how necessary they are.

The message here is basically "do what we want or we'll destroy the company", as opposed to "show us respect or you'll see how necessary we were when you end up not getting any work without us".

@Origame - first off don’t speak for others of us in the industry several other unions are on the verge of joining the picket lines because of not only terrible wages but unsafe work environments and hours. A lot of you are so eager to put your two cents into something you have minimal if any understanding about at all y’all just worried about yourselves and your precious content

@ObserverIO - strikes and protests are literally to cause a disruption in society for a goal idk how people don’t get that
Origame
Origame - 5/11/2023, 2:08 PM
@cham2119 - ...my entire point is these production staffs should choose to participate instead of being effectively forced to by the writers by having them shut down their productions.
Origame
Origame - 5/11/2023, 2:41 PM
@ShimmyShimmyYA - except how you cause a disruption is important for your message. By striking and refusing to do your job until demands are met, you're showing your value by making them experience what it's like without you. Actively disrupting areas of the company you have no direct involvement in is making you look like a mobster doing a collection racket.

cham2119 - 5/11/2023, 2:58 PM
@Origame - this is based of zero information and a very one sided point of view that forgets one very important thing it takes two to tango, there were years of negotiations between the union and the studios this isn't out of nowhere furthermore as the deadline got closer studios started manufacturing a work slow down in order to starve out lower tier workers to try and instigate them turning on the wga. people were suffering long before y'alls tv schedules were effected so please spare us your fake concern we support the writers. furthermore this is just the beginning their are several other unions on the verge of joining them on the picket line. There is truly nothing quite like people in the comment section, you are so goddamn sure that you know what you are talking about when you have done zero to actually research it you just start with how it effects you and then commit to the gymnastics it takes to justify your bad takes..
Origame
Origame - 5/11/2023, 3:14 PM
@cham2119 - dude, you're ignoring what I'm actually saying. I'm not arguing against anything going on with these unions.

The point is, right NOW, they haven't gone on strike. And what the wga is doing is effectively forcing them into a strike by making them unable to work even if they wanted to.

And if these studios have genuinely been shutting down productions to push our lower tier workers, then that just further proves my point. Because the wga are just doing what the studios are doing anyway, making it pointless.

@Origame - restaurant sit ins, bus boycotts etc those weren’t the places people worked , they were a place where they could have a strong disruption and be seen by who they needed to be seen by
cham2119
cham2119 - 5/11/2023, 3:39 PM
@Origame - my god you still don’t get it do you it’s obvious that you didn’t read a single thing I wrote and have no idea how to read subtext so I’m going to be blunt i am a member of of the hollywood teamsters union local 399 my job was directly effected by the strike and i know exactly what I’m talking about and i know for a fact that you don’t my union along with several others along with iatse sag and the dga in other words the crew members you seem to be so concerned for have voiced their 100 percent support. You clearly have no idead how contracts and labor relations in this business work the problem is you think from outside looking in that you can pinpoint better thatn the unions involved how this effects us the workers. The only reason you’re even aware of whats goong on is cause all of a sudden there were no new episodes of abbot elementary. Please spare us your nonsense opinions.
Origame
Origame - 5/11/2023, 3:42 PM
@ShimmyShimmyYA - dude, that's a terrible example.

First of all, those places not being where they worked is irrelevant because they weren't on strike. They were ordinary people who had an injustice against them.

Second, let's take the sit ins. This part of the protest was about how they weren't allowed to sit in a restaurant marked "whites only". What did they do in response? Sit there. Exactly what white people did in that restaurant. So the only way it caused a disruption was from white people having a problem with them doing it. And since they were firm in their protest to stay, that meant the white people needed to use violence to get them to move, proving how ridiculous segregation actually was. That's the point. Not disrupt for the sake of disrupting.

cham2119 - 5/11/2023, 3:49 PM
@Origame - cause what you have to say is nonsense, that feeling you’re experiencing is humility by the way. It’s what happens when you get fact checked in real time, remember it

ShimmyShimmyYA - 5/11/2023, 3:58 PM
@Origame - fam they’re disrupting so studios stop bs on the negotiations. A strike is a workers protest lol , if they did what you said basically go sit at home not working , studios have no issue just shooting what was given to them they don’t care they just want to release the product , studios don’t like spending extra money on rewrites and reshoots they’d much rather have it done one pass through its CHEAPER

cham2119 - 5/11/2023, 4:00 PM
@Origame - you’re literally having a conversation with another person who disagrees right beneath this comment lol. No ever taught you how to take an L before have they? That’s a shame.
cham2119
cham2119 - 5/11/2023, 4:05 PM
@Origame - people agreeing with you doesn’t make you any less wrong by the way. It just means you all get to be wrong together. You really don’t get how funny it is that you are arguing with a crew member about how this strike affects crew members. Thank you for this it’s definitely going in the group chat
Origame
Origame - 5/11/2023, 4:37 PM
@ShimmyShimmyYA - 1) that's literally what them just not working does while also sending the message that the company needs them.

2) using your sit down example, imagine if on top of that they physically prevented the wait staff from doing their job. Literally everything you said would be true as well, except it would also send the message you'd cause trouble if you were allowed in, giving more reason to not let them in. You see the problem?

3) considering writing has often been sited as the problem with several flops, I'd say at this point them hiring outside the guild would probably be the cheaper option.

Origame - 5/11/2023, 4:38 PM
@cham2119 - he disagrees with me, but he understands what I'm saying. You don't even understand we're both saying the production staff should choose for themselves to strike.
Origame
Origame - 5/11/2023, 4:40 PM
@cham2119 - hahaha ha. Dude, you're so f@#$ing delusional. I literally never even MENTIONED that people agreed with me. Literally all I said was that they UNDERSTOOD me.

I wasn't even using them understanding me as a boast for myself. In fact, it's a roast against you. Since, you know, you're the only one not understanding what I'm saying. Get it?
cham2119
cham2119 - 5/11/2023, 4:47 PM
@Origame - you really showed me bud, you really just can’t help chasing that clout by all means dude live your truth again thank you for the content the group chat loves this type of shit 🫡🤣

@cham2119 - I mean, fine dude. Only you would view your comments here as anything other than embarrassing.

But hey, I had fun. 🤣

See you next time where you fail to understand very simple points.
cham2119
cham2119 - 5/12/2023, 9:18 AM
@Origame - only a truly ignorant person would walk into any situation with no experience about it and think they had a better answer for it than the people actually going through it but hey I'm sure the wga will be calling you in to put that 101 civics class you took for a semester to use 🙄. You are literally on the outside looking in thinking you can even begin to understand what we are going through in this industry or have been through before. Child I hope you learn humility one day but I doubt it anyway bye now🤣🤣🤣🤣

Origame - 5/12/2023, 9:58 AM
@cham2119 - ...and what of the production staff on daredevil? Do they not have the right to choose whether or not they participate in the strike? That's literally my entire point.
Origame
Origame - 5/12/2023, 10:03 AM
@cham2119 - also, I love how you can't even argue against me (mostly because you're so dense you can't even understand it) that you just have to insist the writers guild by default knows more than anyone here. I've given plenty of reasons why it doesn't work. And credit to @ShimmyShimmyYa, he managed to argue against my points.

I’m going to be blunt i am a member of of the hollywood teamsters union local 399 my job was directly effected by the strike and i know exactly what I’m talking about and i know for a fact that you don’t my union along with several others along with iatse sag and the dga in other words the crew members you seem to be so concerned for have voiced their 100 percent support.

You literally have no idea what your talking about kid

cham2119 - 5/13/2023, 8:36 AM
@Origame - 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣wow kid your ignorance is astounding, I literally know people who work on the daredevil set and guess what dumbass those that legally could joined them on the picket line. Just [frick]ing read past a byline stupid and actually know that

@Origame - WGA members on strike set up a sunrise picket at Silvercup East, where they’re supposed to be filming Daredevil, but members of the Teamster Local 817 and IATSE Locals 829 and 52 are refusing to cross the picket line,” WGA East said on Twitter early Monday.

Courtesy of deadline. Iatse local 829 and local 52 all crew members. Keep digging idiot

Origame - 5/13/2023, 8:53 AM
@cham2119 - dude, you still fail to understand basic logic.

Doesn't matter if they're borderline on strike.

Are they on strike now?
Origame
Origame - 5/13/2023, 8:56 AM
@cham2119 - also, if you're genuinely part of this, then that doesn't bode well for that strike. The studios can agree to every one of your demands and you'll still picket because you think they're refusing it 🤣
cham2119
cham2119 - 5/13/2023, 9:02 AM
@Origame - you must have been genetically manufactured to be incapable of seeing the L staring you in the face or your just too young to properly understand shame or one other thing but if I mention that it’ll open a whole other can of worms. Again thank you for this every stupid comment we read just reinforces our knowledge that not only are the studio heads getting what they deserve but idiots like you too enjoy your reruns champ🤣🤣🤣🤣
