Daredevil: Born Again's New Trailer Hints at an Unlikely Alliance: Daredevil and Kingpin Unite Against Muse
A new trailer for Marvel's Daredevil: Born Again, premiering March 4th on Disney+, reveals a surprising collaboration: Daredevil and Kingpin, longtime adversaries, are teaming up. This unexpected alliance is seemingly driven by a shared enemy: the artistically-inclined serial killer, Muse.
Who is Muse, and what makes him a threat capable of uniting such bitter rivals?
Introducing Muse: A Serial Killer with Superhuman Abilities
Muse, a relatively recent addition to Daredevil's rogue's gallery (created by Charles Soule and Ron Garney in 2016's Daredevil #11), is a chilling villain. He views murder as a high art form, creating gruesome masterpieces using his victims. His methods are particularly dangerous to Daredevil; Muse's body acts as a sensory disruptor, scrambling Matt Murdock's radar sense. Combined with superhuman strength and speed, Muse is a formidable foe.
His initial conflict with Daredevil and Blindspot escalated when he blinded Blindspot, leading to a final confrontation in 2018's Daredevil #600, where Muse tragically took his own life. However, his return in Daredevil: Born Again is confirmed.

Muse's Role in Daredevil: Born Again
The D23 and NYCC trailers showcase Muse, sporting his comic-accurate costume, engaged in a confrontation with Daredevil. This suggests Born Again, while sharing a title with a classic storyline, draws inspiration from more contemporary Daredevil comics.
The series appears to be setting up an unlikely alliance between Daredevil and Mayor Wilson Fisk. A diner scene depicts Matt threatening Fisk, hinting at a mutual enemy powerful enough to necessitate their cooperation. Muse fits this description perfectly. Fisk's anti-vigilante stance clashes directly with Muse's glorification of figures like the Punisher. Both Daredevil and Fisk have reasons to eliminate Muse: Daredevil seeks justice, while Fisk aims to maintain his mayoral authority.
The series will also feature other vigilantes, including the Punisher and White Tiger, who are likely to be caught in the crossfire of Fisk's campaign.
While the Daredevil/Fisk rivalry remains central, Muse emerges as the immediate threat, potentially the most challenging antagonist Daredevil has faced. His unique abilities and relentless brutality make him a formidable opponent, forcing Daredevil into an uneasy alliance with his longtime nemesis.
