Here’s when Daredevil: Born Again is set in the MCU timeline

Daredevil: Born Again likely takes place in the MCU across 2025 and 2026.

Wilson Fisk, aka Kingpin, played by Vincent D’Onofrio, last appeared in Alaqua Cox’s Echo, which takes place sometime in mid-2025. It’s post-credit scene features Fisk returning to New York on a private plane. He further discusses with his assistant to gather the remaining heads to stabilise an unspecified situation.

His attention is captured by a mayoral news broadcast on the TV. There, the reporters discuss the city’s need for a mayor, who can help tackle the current crime-filled situation in the city. They further emphasize the uncertainty lingering on the mayoral race and how there is no frontrunner at the moment.

They question if there is anyone who could emerge to be an ideal candidate for the city’s mayor position. Right then, Fisk leans forward and possibly gets inspired to run for the mayoral race.

The events in Echo series eventually lead up to Daredevil: Born Again, which likely takes place in 2025 or early 2026. While there is a possibility that the series might include some scenes from the past, it is likely set in the aforementioned time period.

Daredevil: Born Again’s initial two episodes have already premiered. It already confirms that Fisk has won the mayoral race in New York. However, currently, he is working on improving his estranged relationship with Vanessa, which is impacting his public image and narrative campaign.
