It feels like Brad Winderbaum is being groomed as Kevin Feige's successor at Marvel. They seem to see him as more than just another studio executive.
There's a few interesting tidbits in this interview. I suspected a third season of Born Again was definitely coming, but has it actually been confirmed before now?
The stuff about Wonder Man sounds really interesting too. I'm just worried that general audiences won't give it a fair shake, as has been the case with other recent Marvel shows.
I do like the way Winderbaum talks about this stuff. He seems a straightforward guy. Sometimes Feige can be a bit ambiguous, perhaps deliberately.
NoLeadership22812025-10-10 18:19
I mean more like Feige is focused more on the movies side and Brad is focus more on the tv side, pretty excited to see the payoff of the strategy readjus of how they balance the movie and tv side of mcu, this may sound naive but I feel like from what they’ve said, it feels much more potential to be focused and coherent
No_Imagination_24902025-10-10 18:25
Yeah, Winderbaum is in charge of TV and animation, but that's a role that didn't really exist a few years ago, when Feige was running everything himself. So I think if Winderbaum does well in his role, he could be in line for a promotion at some point down the line.
NoLeadership22812025-10-10 18:28
True but I feel like Feige isn’t even at the age of retirement at this point, even if this is a possibility, it’ll be wayyy down the line from now
No_Imagination_24902025-10-10 18:32
Kathleen Kennedy is in her 70s now and perhaps approaching retirement. I could see Feige wanting her job, as Star Wars was his first love.
NoLeadership22812025-10-10 18:37
Marvel is his baby, there’s no evidence or reason for him to change position just to shift to another different division of Disney, plus marvel is already bringing back Xmen to reboot after Secret Wars, he said clearly he’s excited to be part of it already
Sir__Will2025-10-11 06:21
> Kathleen Kennedy is in her 70s now
She is!? Wow, I never realized she was that old. ...and I'll say no more.
marvelcomics222025-10-10 18:43
He basically has Jeph Loeb's old job, it's just under Feige instead of Pearlmutter
Bolt_9952025-10-10 18:33
A third season of BA was confirmed recently.
Scary-Command22322025-10-10 20:36
DD BA S3 was confirmed last month
Bolt_9952025-10-10 18:35
Good to see that the Born Again and Brand New Day teams are communicating with each other to ensure there is narrative coherence since both are shaping up to be city-wide crime conflicts in NYC.
Just need to see if it’s true or if it’s all marketing fluff and bullshit by the time both projects release.
AdditionalBanana95852025-10-10 20:45
I imagine that the biggest tie would be Tombstone trying to take over Fisk's criminal empire after his possible defeat in season 2.
BKWhitty2025-10-10 21:00
I honestly just figured it was largely because of the Punisher considering he's already confirmed to be in both Daredevil and Spider-Man.
AdditionalBanana95852025-10-10 21:08
I feel like his involvement has more to do with him continuing his crusade of taking down dangerous people than him carrying narrative threads over. Though both can be true.
Ygomaster072025-10-11 00:31
Has Tombstone appeared at all? Or is he going to be in Brand New Day?
AdditionalBanana95852025-10-11 00:45
His casting was recently announced for the movie.
Ygomaster072025-10-11 01:03
Oh sweet. That's awesome. Thank you for letting me know.
AdditionalBanana95852025-10-11 01:08
Np! Marvin Jones III, look him up. Bro's made for the role!
Ygomaster072025-10-11 01:25
Oh him! I guess i did see the casting announcement since i remember people talking about how he played Tombstone in Into The Spider-verse. I completely forgot about that. Thank you for telling me, i really appreciate it! He does look perfect for the role!
electrorazor2025-10-11 03:32
Imagine if the Multiverse of Madness and Wandavision teams communicated
jagfanjosh32522025-10-10 18:40
Biggest thing in the article is then confirming Die Hard is a Christmas movie
Grayx_28872025-10-10 19:46
How the hell can Foggy come back to life if he was already dead in the last season? This ain't DC fucking Comics. There's no Ra's Al-Guhl and the Lazarus Pit in this universe, and the Infinity Stones are all gone, and I highly doubt that Mephisto will ever make an appearance in this season unless they decided to recast Saaha Baron Cohen with a different actor and explain In-universe why he keeps changing his appearance every time.
Now, with Wonder Man. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Oh, I am so going to enjoy how much of a failure this story is. But then again, I have heard that the character in the comics is stupidly OP. So, whatever. It can't get any worse than Secret Invasion.
Scary-Command22322025-10-10 20:38
Foggy does in the comics. But I think for DD BA this is only for flash backs sadly.
Grayx_28872025-10-10 20:41
Ok.
VacantThoughts2025-10-10 21:08
Foggy didn't actually die in the comics though he was just put in witness protection and everyone assumed he was dead. Which I guess is the twist they could take in the show but his death seemed pretty definitive there.
Scary-Command22322025-10-10 22:30
Yes i know the comics. I suppose because the ambulance already left B4 he dropped bullseye, they could stretch belief if they wanted to. With BA they were quite happy to wave away plot sense. But I don't believe he is coming back personally. ☹️😭
queerhistorynerd2025-10-11 03:20
DD heard his heart stop as the ambulance was pulling away. They could pull an "EMTs managed to restart it on the way to the hospital and the Feds kept his survival under wraps" card
Grayx_28872025-10-11 03:33
They better use that as an explanation in season two. Because I don't want this new season of Daredevil: Born Again to be anything like Troy: Ares or Power Rangers Super Megaforce.
Scary-Command22322025-10-11 11:56
I have no intention to watch Tron, so what nonsense did one of the DDBA writers do on Tron?
WD_G2025-10-11 00:23
It's clear that you don't like that next upcoming projects. But why do you put in a lot of time hating on them instead of just moving on from it and just ignore it? Like, why do you care so much about Wonder Man, if you think it's gonna fail?
Burger_Soup2025-10-11 10:48
Foggy also dies in the comics... and he also "comes back to life", if they do indeed adapt this storyline you'll see it by yourself
JosiahsDisciple2025-10-10 20:22
Huh. Nothing on VisonQuest? That's disappointing. I was really hoping we'd learn SOMETHING about that show. Still, pretty excited about everything else!
KostisPat2572025-10-10 20:28
They might still show something about it in the panel tomorrow.
KostisPat2572025-10-10 21:00
Some important information from the article:
* Wonder Man has been moved from December 2025 to January 2026 to avoid the Holliday Season Competition. Born Again Season 2 will come out right after in March 2026.
* Wonder Man will focus on the making of a reboot of a popular 80s super-hero flick called "Wonder Man". It is a very meta commentary on the state of Hollywood, reboots and super-hero fatigue. Actor Simon Williams, played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, grew up loving the super-hero film and is trying to get the role of Wonder Man for the reboot. Ben Kingsley co-stars as Trevor Slattery as he and Simon bond over their love of acting. According to Winderbaum, it's a story about acting and the journey of an actor in Hollywood.
* Trevor Slattery has a full arc in the show. "It's for an MCU fan that knows the history of Trevor Slattery from Iron Man 3 to Shang-Chi to here. There is a very interesting three-act structure for his character, as well. I don't wanna spoil anything, but it's very sincere. It's very earnest. It's not cynical.", says Winderbaum.
* Winderbaum says that series like Marvel Zombies and Wonder Man were made before the overhaul of Marvel TV and are now "caught in the middle" of their new TV schedule. He confirms once more that Born Again, X-Men '97 and YFNSM will run for a few more years with annual seasons, with their 3rd seasons already in development, but is not sure whether Zombies and Wonder Man will get second seasons. "Season 2s could be on the table if people watch. But I anticipate that when people get to the end of this story, they're gonna want more. And I hope that's what happens.", he says.
* Elden Henson returns as Foggy Nelson in Born Again Season 2. Krysten Ritter's Jessica Jones will be part of Matt's resistance movement. When asked about Luke Cage and Iron Fist, Winderbaum said "The less I say the better."
* Matthew Lillard plays a character called Mr. Charles who is an antagonist of Fisk. "When Wilson Fisk takes over New York, not just as a mayor but as a king in a way, it puts him in a new class of power players on the international stage. [Fisk] is dealing with Mr. Charles up here and Daredevil down here for different reasons. So he's getting squeezed a little bit."
* Winderbaum confirms that Brand New Day will be impacted by the events of Daredevil: Born Again. "We are communicating a lot with the team on Spider-Man: Brand New Day to make sure that there's coherence there. Everything lines up and the impacts are felt, but we're able to tell different stories."
* Apart from the showrunner change, X-Men '97 Season 2 retained the same creative team behind Season 1.
* Apocalypse plays a very big role in X-Men '97 Season 2, and the second season has the same stakes as Season 1, so mortality is on the table.
* Tomorrow's Marvel Television panel will focus on these 3 series as well as Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Season 2. Vision Quest was not mentioned, although it's not impossible that we get a tease at the end of the panel.

I'm surprised they gave so much info already, especially since the full panel isn't even until tomorrow.

Oh, I guess this is everything that going to be at the NYCC panel tomorrow. I was supposed to go, but if this is it…
theamiabledumps2025-10-11 01:01
Another great actor caught up in a bad series/role at Disney. Why waste him on a character you have no intention of going forward with?!?!?
Sir__Will2025-10-11 06:23
> caught up in a bad series/role at Disney
You have no idea what the quality of the series is. While this is likely a one off, maybe that's enough.
theamiabledumps2025-10-11 11:52
So you consider a probable one off series that delves into the Meta-ness of working as an actor in Hollywood a great turn for a leading man such as Yahya? That worked great for Tatiana (I loved the show btw). She was pilloried by so called Marvel “Fans”. There is no word of using her forward and for someone with such gravitas and range it’s ridiculous. “Maybe that’s enough?” There are currently very few Black characters currently in the active roster at Disney in any of the universes. That’s not “Good Enough” for me especially after Amandla and Mackie were panned even though it wasn’t their fault. So yes, I consider a bad series/role something that is likely to catch the eyre of the usual Marvel “Fans”.
BeepBeepGoJeep2025-10-11 04:45
Let's hope season 2 of Daredevil isn't a Frankenstein patchwork but an actual quality TV show.

Genuinely great to hear all of that about X-Men ‘97
