Born Again Is A Great Idea

Tatiana Maslany, the star of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, has expressed interest in reprising her role as Jennifer Walters in Daredevil: Born Again. Given that Charlie Cox’s Daredevil appeared in She-Hulk, it only makes sense for the crossover to go come full circle and have her appear in Daredevil: Born Again. Maslany’s enthusiasm for the idea, coupled with her ability to handle both comedic and dramatic storytelling, makes this a crossover worth exploring.

The idea of blending She-Hulk‘s lighter tone with Daredevil: Born Again‘s grittier, more intense storytelling has sparked debate among fans. However, Maslany is confident that the shift in tone isn’t as difficult as some believe. Her experience in both comedy and drama proves that she could seamlessly adapt to Daredevil: Born Again while bringing something new to the table. In a time when the MCU seems to be moving away from deep interconnectivity, this kind of crossover could be exactly what the franchise needs.

Marvel Studios is reportedly already considering a third season for Daredevil: Born Again.

Daredevil: Born Again Could Benefit From Lighter Tone

One of the most discussed aspects of Daredevil: Born Again has been how it will balance its tone. The original Daredevil series on Netflix was known for its dark, brutal action sequences and morally complex characters. With its transition to Disney+, there has been speculation about whether the show will retain its gritty nature or adopt a slightly lighter tone to fit within the broader MCU.

Maslany’s Jennifer Walters could be an asset in this transition. While She-Hulk leaned heavily into comedy, the character’s presence in Daredevil: Born Again wouldn’t necessarily mean an overload of humor. Instead, Walters’ witty, sharp dialogue could provide natural levity amidst the serious storytelling. More importantly, it could highlight a dynamic that already worked well in She-Hulk, where Daredevil and She-Hulk balanced each other’s tones effectively.

Daredevil’s return to the MCU has been a much-anticipated event, but the franchise has evolved significantly since his last solo outing. A lighter, more balanced tone wouldn’t necessarily diminish the show’s intensity; rather, it could make it more versatile. By incorporating elements of legal drama and even moments of humor, Daredevil: Born Again could expand its appeal while still delivering the high-stakes storytelling fans expect.

Tatiana Maslany Can Blend Into Daredevil: Born Again

Tatiana Maslany is more than capable of transitioning from She-Hulk‘s comedic tone to the grittier world of Daredevil: Born Again. While She-Hulk: Attorney at Law embraced humor and fourth-wall-breaking antics, Maslany’s acting career demonstrates her incredible range. Her Emmy-winning performance in Orphan Black showcased her ability to handle dark, intense storylines, making her a natural fit for Daredevil: Born Again.

Charlie Cox’s return as Matt Murdock has been one of the most exciting developments in the MCU, and his performance has always included subtle humor amidst the drama. Maslany’s She-Hulk could build on that chemistry while bringing her own dynamic to the mix. Since both characters are lawyers, their interactions could extend beyond the superhero action, diving into legal battles that showcase their different approaches to justice.

Additionally, Daredevil: Born Again could benefit from the contrast between Maslany’s energetic, self-aware Jennifer Walters and Murdock’s brooding, methodical demeanor. While She-Hulk showed that they can play off each other well in a comedic setting, their dynamic could evolve in Daredevil: Born Again, allowing for deeper character development while maintaining the MCU’s interconnected world.

The MCU Needs More Crossovers That Aren’t Just Cameos

The golden era of the MCU was built on characters naturally appearing in each other’s stories, often in meaningful ways. From Iron Man mentoring Spider-Man to the relationship between Captain America and Black Widow, these interactions made the universe feel cohesive. Lately, however, many appearances have felt isolated, as if the franchise is hesitant to fully embrace its interconnected potential. A proper crossover between She-Hulk and Daredevil would reinforce the idea that these characters exist in the same world, influencing each other’s stories rather than simply popping in for fan service.

She-Hulk’s legal expertise and personality make her an ideal fit for Daredevil: Born Again. Given that the show will likely have a heavy legal component, it makes sense for Jennifer Walters to be involved in a meaningful way. Whether as an ally in the courtroom, a professional rival, or a fellow superhero fighting alongside Daredevil, her presence would add depth and authenticity to the series.

With the MCU expanding into television more than ever, it’s time to move past surface-level crossovers and into deeper, more character-driven interactions. Maslany’s She-Hulk joining Daredevil: Born Again would be a step in the right direction, showing that characters can move fluidly between projects while contributing meaningfully to the story at hand.

As the MCU moves forward, it should prioritize meaningful character interactions over fleeting cameos. Bringing She-Hulk into Daredevil: Born Again would be a perfect way to do that, proving that interconnected storytelling is still a vital part of the franchise’s identity. With Maslany’s talent and Cox’s established portrayal of Matt Murdock, this crossover could be one of the most rewarding surprises in the next phase of the MCU.
