Now Playing: Daredevil: Born Again

Published

on

Sorry, Captain America: Brave New World, but the real political thriller has arrived. For years, we have been starved of Daredevil content. Since the cancellation of the widely successful Netflix series, the visually challenged superhero has languished in cameos and teasers. Now, Daredevil is finally back with a sequel-slash-reboot called Daredevil: Born Again.

The new series has started streaming today. Ahead of time, we caught the first two episodes, so we can tell you whether or not the new series is worth starting. Here’s our verdict: Start watching as soon as possible!

Now, before I share my thoughts on the series, be warned; slight spoilers are coming (and are, in fact, unavoidable) for the first two episodes of Daredevil: Born Again.

Hits the ground running

Daredevil: Born Again wastes no time in getting the action going. The series starts in the middle of it all. Matt Murdock, Karen Page, and Foggy Nelson are out on the town to celebrate another win for the law firm. We don’t waste time getting reintroduced to these same characters we know and love from the Netflix saga.

It does, however, take one of the most gut-wrenching turns since the revival’s announcement.  Within a few minutes of the episode’s start, an assassin — Poindexter a.k.a. Bullseye — shoots… someone dead.

From the get-go, Daredevil: Born Again brings you to where it wants you to go. Murdock, regretful over not being able to save this person, gives up the mask and enters a lengthy period of mourning.

The second rise of Daredevil

After the long introductory sequence, Daredevil: Born Again starts in earnest. A year later, Murdock is still grieving over the loss. He’s become more solitary and unwilling to become a superhero again.

The city is feeling the loss. New York City is asking where the masked superhero is. In lieu of Daredevil, the city now has a more ruthless crime fighter in White Tiger.

In the meantime, regretful over his actions in the past (see: Echo), Wilson Fisk argues that the time for a more sweeping change is now. In the absence of a believable candidate, Fisk runs for mayor of New York City under the platform of creating change immediately starting with the outlawing of masked superheroes. He wins handily.

Doubting the sincerity of Fisk’s change of heart, Murdock confronts the new mayor. Both are unwilling to succumb to their old personas, Daredevil and Kingpin. The confrontation, as you might have seen in trailers, underscores the biggest question heading into the series: Who gets “born again” first, Daredevil or Kingpin?

Hooked for more

After watching the first two episodes, I wanted more immediately. Coupled with the gritty vibe from the original series, Daredevil: Born Again creates one of the most engaging political thrillers just from the first two episodes.

While I can’t say anything about the whole series yet, I’m definitely looking forward to each and every episode.

Daredevil: Born Again is streaming now exclusively on Disney+.

LE SSERAFIM Chaewon flexes Galaxy S26 Ultra Privacy Display

She says the feature is cool

LE SSERAFIM’s Kim Chaewon didn’t set out to show off a feature. But somewhere in the middle of a Weverse live, she ended up doing exactly that. It’s a pretty good flex.

In a clip that’s now making the rounds online, Chaewon shared that she recently switched to the Galaxy S26 Ultra and has been enjoying one specific feature in particular:

“I just changed my phone lately to Galaxy S26 Ultra. And it has a privacy screen feature, right? It’s so cool. You really can’t see anything from the side. I show this to everyone I meet and make them jealous.”

It’s just someone genuinely impressed by a feature — and casually flexing it.

A feature that makes sense instantly

The feature Chaewon is referring to is Privacy Display, one of the headline additions on the Galaxy S26 Ultra.

When enabled, it limits the viewing angles of the screen. That way. only the person holding the phone can clearly see what’s on it. Anyone looking from the side gets a dimmed or obscured view.

If you’ve ever used a privacy screen protector, the concept is similar. The difference here is that it’s built directly into the phone and can be toggled on or off, or even set to activate only for specific apps.

It’s a small addition on paper, but one that solves a very real, very common problem — especially if you’re using your phone in public spaces.

Samsung contract renewed?

It’s worth noting that LE SSERAFIM has been using Galaxy smartphones for a while now. That’s likely due to a partnership with Samsung and/or Google.

The music video for their track “Come Over” heavily features the smartphone, along with Google Gemini features integrated into the experience.

Another member, Sakura, also mentioned to fans recently that she has switched phones — from a Galaxy Z Flip to now also using a Galaxy S26 Ultra.


Whether this points to a renewed partnership or just continued preference isn’t something officially confirmed. But moments like Chaewon’s certainly keep Galaxy devices in the spotlight.

It’s easy to imagine the same scenario playing out anywhere — on a commute, in a café, or sitting next to someone who’s just a little too curious about what you’re doing on your phone.

It’s also something we’ve explored ourselves.

In one of our reels, we showed a straightforward demo of how Privacy Display works. We tilted the phone to show how the screen becomes unreadable from the side. In another, we leaned into a more playful skit: someone trying (and failing) to peek at what’s on the screen of the person beside them.


The result is the same. From certain angles, the display practically disappears.

The kind of feature you show off

Privacy Display isn’t the flashiest feature on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. But it’s the kind of feature you end up showing people. Not because you have to — but because it’s surprisingly satisfying to see in action.

If Chaewon’s experience is anything to go by, it’s also the kind of feature that makes people just a little bit jealous.

Forgotten Island is an upcoming film based on Filipino culture

The film features the talents of H.E.R., Liza Soberano, and Lea Salonga.

Despite all the Filipino actors in Hollywood today, it’s still difficult to feel scene in an industry where Filipino stories aren’t as abundant. Now, it’s time for the Philippines to shine. DreamWorks Animation has just released the first trailer for Forgotten Island, an upcoming animated film based on Filipino culture.

Played by H.E.R. and Liza Soberano, Jo and Raissa are childhood best friends about to go their separate ways after one decides to study abroad. However, during their last night together, they discover a magical portal that takes them to Nakali, the Forgotten Island.

The island calls itself home to an army of creatures from Philippine mythology including The Dreaded Manananggal (voiced by Lea Salonga). Dave Franco also plays a weredog named Raww.

Besides the presence of all these monsters, the island has an even more dangerous quirk. The longer that Jo and Raissa stay on Nakali, the more of their memories are erased until they eventually forget each other. It then becomes a race to find their way home before they lose memories of their friendship forever.

Supporting the main cast, the film will feature the voice talents of Manny Jacinto, Jenny Slate, Jo Koy, Dolly de Leon, Amielyn Abellera, and Ronny Chieng. It will be made by Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado, the prolific team behind the critically acclaimed Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.

Forgotten Island premieres in Philippine cinemas on September 23.

Marvel’s Wonder Man greenlit for a rare second season

The first season holds a 91% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Is the Marvel Cinematic Universe back? After years of floundering through Phases Four and Five, Marvel Studios is poised to get its mojo back from a flurry of much-awaited Phase Six projects this year, including the second season of Daredevil: Born Again, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and Avengers: Doomsday. And it all started this year with the critically acclaimed Wonder Man. Now, after the success of that series, a second season is officially in the works.

When its first trailer came out, Wonder Man did not look like anything that Marvel Studios has worked on before. For one, it was incredibly grounded, perhaps overshadowed only by Daredevil: Born Again. Second, it was about the reboot of a fictional superhero movie, itself called Wonder Man.

Actor Simon Williams (played by Yahya Abdul Mateen II) wants to energize his career by performing in the upcoming Wonder Man revival from acclaimed director Von Kovak (Zlatko Burić). Helping the former is the returning Trevor Slattery (Ben Kingsley), who you might remember as the fake Mandarin from Iron Man 3.

Despite how different it looks compared to previous Marvel Studios projects, the series is one of the most acclaimed, currently holding a 91 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Because of this, Wonder Man has received the green light for a second season, via Variety.

A second season is relatively rare for Marvel Studios with its history of one-and-done series. There are some exceptions, though. Loki, for example, ended its run with a second season. Daredevil: Born Again will air its second season very soon (with a third one potentially in the works already).
