A new photo has leaked from the set of Marvel’s Daredevil: Born Again and it confirms the arrival of a major major storyline in the comics.
Daredevil will see the arrival of a new mayor for New York
While the news is multiplying around the character of the series Daredevil, At Hitek we try to relay the most interesting information. Gold, a photo taken on the set reveals an extremely interesting element about the plot of the series. Indeed, the photo of a simple accessory has perhaps just revealed to us one of the major issues, if not the main subject, of this return to Hell’s Kitchen.
The photo shows a stock of newspapers that has just been delivered to New York. The big front page of this fake newspaper, The New York Criterion, shows that history should therefore be interested in Fisk in the middle of the electoral campaign to become mayor of New York. The headline reads: “Wilson Fisk’s campaign gains momentum as election nears.” We can therefore already legitimately assume that this means that this next chapter of the story is largely inspired by the narrative arc Devil’s Reign from Marvel comics, as many had suggested.

Vincent D’Onofrio, who plays Fisk, previously spoke about this aspect of Kingpin’s story:
I think the idea of Fisk as mayor is a great idea, and of course corruption comes to mind. There are a million different ways to play this, and for me playing Wilson Fisk in these different situations is just awesome. I play him in domestic situations and with this kind of consideration about right and wrong, and now I have the chance to play him as a mayor. He’s a really interesting character to bring into all these types of environments and scenarios. He is not a normal man. And so it becomes more specific and detailed because I approach it as a human being in these different environments.
Marvel Villain Becomes Mayor of New York
The plot of The Devil’s Reign is a major arc of Daredevil and the Marvel Urban Universe in general. It explores the power dynamics between Kingpin and the vigilantes who oppose him. The story revolves around the power struggle between Daredevil and Wilson Fisk, who becomes the mayor of New York.
In this arc, Kingpin uses his newly acquired political influence to launch a crackdown on vigilantes, making their activities illegal. This leads to a fierce confrontation between Daredevil and Kingpin, with the latter using all of his resources to track down and eliminate Daredevil and his allies.
We have recently known this, Fisk is at the center of some Marvel projects. Indeed, by bringing back a large part of the Defenders team that has appeared so far at Netflix, Marvel is developing its urban universe. So, far from the laser wars of space, Kingpin is set to become a major threat to New York’s vigilantes, like Daredevil, but also surely Punisher or Luke Cage, and we perhaps even hope for Spider-Man. It is also surprising to see that the newspaper seen on set was The New York Criterion and not a Daily Bugle.
