Daredevil Could Solve an MCU Problem Dating Back to Iron Man

A Longstanding Issue in the MCU

March 5, 2025: The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has dominated the superhero genre for over a decade, but it has faced one persistent issue—maintaining grounded, street-level storytelling alongside its cosmic-scale adventures. Since Iron Man kicked off the franchise, the MCU has steadily expanded into multiversal chaos, godlike beings, and intergalactic wars, making its street-level heroes feel sidelined.

Daredevil’s Return Brings Balance

With Daredevil: Born Again on the horizon, Matt Murdock’s return presents the perfect opportunity to restore balance. Unlike Thor or Doctor Strange, Daredevil thrives in a world of crime, corruption, and personal stakes. His presence can bring back the gritty, human-driven narratives that fans loved in early MCU projects like The Winter Soldier and Netflix’s Daredevil series.

Why Daredevil Matters Now

As the MCU moves forward, there’s been a growing demand for more grounded stories. While cosmic threats are exciting, they can sometimes overshadow the street-level consequences of heroism. Daredevil, with his legal expertise and brutal crime-fighting skills, can bridge that gap. His return could also pave the way for other street-level heroes like Spider-Man, Punisher, and Luke Cage to regain prominence in the MCU.
