Warning! This post contains SPOILERS for Daredevil: Born Again episode 1 & 2
The premiere episodes of MCU overall.
Seven years after Netflix's Daredevil season 3, the MCU has brought back the Man Without Fear with an all-new show. Grappling with the new Mayor Fisk as well as a trial involving a vigilante and corrupt police officers, Matt Murdock is trying to live his life without a mask after losing Foggy Nelson and nearly killing Bullseye. As such, both premiere episodes of Daredevil: Born Again are chock-full of exciting references, including Wilson Fisk referencing none other than Spider-Man. Here are 29 of the biggest Easter eggs and references we found in Daredevil: Born Again episodes 1 & 2.
29 Nelson Murdock & Page
Connecting To Daredevil Season 3
Matt Murdock, Foggy Nelson, and Karen Page are seen walking out of their law offices at the beginning of the first episode, and the name was chosen at the very end of Daredevil season 3's finale.
28 Josie’s
(and Josie Herself!)
Josie's is the same bar that Matt, Foggy, and Karen frequented in the Netflix series. Josie herself makes a cameo as well, still played by actress Susan Varon.
27 Jeri Hogarth’s Firm
A Jessica Jones Connection
Foggy mentions that he used to work at Hogarth, Chao & Benowitz. Jeri Hogarth was Carrie-Anne Moss' character in Netflix's Jessica Jones.
26 Detective Kim
A Marvel Comics Character
There is also an NYPD Detective Kim in from the original Marvel Comics.
25 Kirsten McDuffie
A Classic Daredevil Character
Kirsten McDuffie makes her MCU debut in Daredevil: Born. In the comics, Kirsten is a fellow lawyer and one-time love interest of Matt Murdock's.
24 Bullseye Glove/Purple Mask
He's Finally Got HIs Own Suit
A bullseye can be seen on each of Poindexter's gloves, and he's also featured wearing a purple-accented mask, connecting to his alias and appearance in the comics as the master assassin named Bullseye.
23 Daredevil and Bullseye's One-Take Fight
Honoring The Action Sequences Of The Past
The majority of Bullseye and Daredevil's fight is all one-take, mirroring the classic one-take fights in the original Netflix series, including the season 1 hallway fight, the biker bar in season 2, and the prison riot in season 3.
22 Fisk Eating An Omelet
A Simple Routine
Fisk is shown eating an omelet at the beginning of Daredevil: Born Again season 1, continuing his established morning routine from the Netflix series.
21 Tracksuit Mafia?
Part of Fisk's Empire
Fisk's wife Vanessa is shown running the crime business, and one of her men named Luca is shown wearing a tracksuit (which gets specifically called out). This potentially suggests that the Tracksuit Mafia is still active and a part of Fisk's empire.
20 Fisk’s Recovery
Shot By Echo
It's revealed that. Vanessa took over while Fisk was away in recovery. This connects to Fisk being shot in the face by Maya Lopez at the end of 2021's Hawkeye, which led to him being temporarily blind in one eye.
