Daredevil: Born Again Episode 7 delivered a jaw-dropping moment—Muse, the terrifying serial killer, met his end. Or did he? Fans are speculating that the sinister artist may not be gone for good, especially given his history in Marvel Comics. Here are all the details and more.
Is Muse really dead or could he return in Daredevil: Born Again?
The Disney+ series Daredevil: Born Again has been relentless with its violence and unpredictability, and Muse’s death was no exception. After weeks of buildup, he faced off against Matt Murdock once again, this time with Heather Glenn’s life on the line.
As Daredevil fought to protect his girlfriend, Muse held the upper hand—until Heather intervened. She fired three gunshots into Muse’s chest, seemingly killing him instantly. With Muse gone, Born Again now has two episodes left to wrap up its story. But some fans aren’t convinced that his death is permanent and are wondering if he might return to Daredevil: Born Again.
In Marvel Comics, Muse was also killed—burned alive in a fight with the vigilante Blindspot. However, his influence didn’t end there. After his death, he began communicating with Morgan Whittier, a troubled artist who felt disconnected from society. Muse, speaking from what appears to be Hell, promised Whittier he could help her reach her full potential. Eventually, he took control of her body, using her as a vessel to continue his gruesome artwork.
If Daredevil: Born Again follows this storyline, Muse could return by possessing another character. This would introduce a supernatural element to the series. The MCU’s Daredevil has mostly avoided fantastical threats, sticking to realistic villains like Wilson Fisk and the Punisher.
Muse, although extreme, was still a serial killer, not a demonic entity. However, with the Disney+ series tying more closely to the broader MCU, the door is open for more comic-accurate twists. As a result, fans believe Muse might return in Daredevil: Born Again.
