storyline as inspiration. In June 2011, Fringe writer Brad Caleb Kane was rumored to be adapting the "Born Again" storyline for the film. In August 2012, 20th century Fox turned down a pitch by director Joe Carnahan for a film based on "Born Again". On October 10, the Daredevil film rights reverted to Marvel Studios. Elements of the "Born Again" story arc are adapted in seasons two and three of the Netflix / Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) television series Daredevil. After engineering Frank Castle's prison escape, the imprisoned Wilson Fisk asks for files on Matt Murdock. Additionally, Dex Poindexter (Wilson Bethel) replaces the unnamed asylum patient in impersonating Daredevil on Fisk's behalf. Additionally, several lines from "Born Again" are used throughout Daredevil and the miniseries The Defenders. A new Daredevil series, subtitled Born Again, is currently in development by Marvel Studios, as part of Phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
