Subscribe to our newsletter Daredevil: Born Again season 2 takes place before Spider-Man: Brand New Day One of the Disney+ show's producers has confirmed this will be the case However, the series' lead actor says he won't appear in the Marvel movie Daredevil: Born Again season 2 will precede the events of Spider-Man: Brand New Day but the former's lead star says fans shouldn't subsequently expect him to appear in the latter.

Speaking to Black Girl Nerds (BGN) ahead of the Disney+ show's return, producer Sana Amanat revealed Daredevil: Born Again 's sophomore chapter
takes place before Spidey's next big-screen adventure.

Until recently, confusion had reigned about how the Marvel Cinematic Universe's ( MCU ) next two projects would fit around each other, especially as the pair are set in New York City. Add in comments from Marvel 's Head of TV, Streaming, and Animation Brad Winderbaum (via Entertainment Weekly ) that their stories are "connected", and fans have been keen to learn more about where the duo sit in relation to the other on the MCU timeline.

"We're trying to dance a little bit between the raindrops," Amanat said about how closely aligned Born Again 2 and Spider-Man 4 are. "But, it's fair to say that events that happen in season 2 are before what happens in Spider-Man[:Brand New Day] . So, we're being very careful about about the way that is, but there are some shared characters that go
into Spider-Man 4 . And that's all I can say."

I can't be the
only one whose attention immediately turned to the prospect of Daredevil and Spider-Man teaming up in Brand New Day . After all, Charlie Cox's Daredevil well, his civilian alter-ego Matt Murdock made a brief but crowd-pleasing cameo in the webslinger's last film, aka 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home .

A precedent has been set, then, about the dynamic duo sharing screentime in the MCU. In the comics, the pair also have a close friendship and united to take down a common foe or two (Wilson Fisk/Kingpin, I'm looking at you). So, there's no reason why Murdock and Peter Parker can't join forces in the latter's next silvern screen project. Get daily insight, inspiration and

Unfortunately, it appears that our hopes of such a team-up have already been dashed. Promoting Born Again season 2 on the March 18, 2026 edition of The Jimmy Kimmel Show , Cox denied that he'll
appear in the Marvel Phase 6 movie.

Asked if he's secretly part of Spider-Man: Brand New Day 's cast , Cox replied: "No. Now, if I was in the movie, I would also say no, to be clear. But, no, I am not in the movie". Responding to Kimmel's "But, you could be lying" follow-up, Cox added: "I could be lying, but I'm definitely not in
it."

Should we take Cox at his word? He isn't the first Marvel actor to deny they're in a film or TV series before actually showing up in it (*cough* Andrew Garfield *cough*), and Cox has been around long enough to know how to deflect rumors of this ilk without coming across as suspicious. What to read next Spider-Man: Brand New Day release date, cast, plot, and everything else we know about the new Marvel movie Daredevil: Born Again season 2 will
include 'very cool surprises' about Jessica Jones Marvel reportedly won't release Avengers 5 and Spider-Man 4's trailers at Super Bowl 2026

For now, I'm willing to take his comments at face value and believe he isn't in Brand New Day , but I guess we'll find out soon if he was telling the
truth or not.
