Marvel fans usually expect to wait for a big team-up. This time, the wait just got shorter. According to The Direct, citing an AIPT Comics report, Marvel is bringing Spider-Man and Daredevil back together in a prequel comic months before the show’s second season arrives.

Why This Reunion Matters
In Season 1, Episode 6, “Duel with the Devil,” Daredevil investigated Oscorp with his sidekick Finesse. The two heroes scuffled first, and Matt Murdock then warned Peter that Norman Osborn was hiding something.
They never actually teamed up, though. The prequel comic now seems set to change that, because Daredevil is one of its main selling points.
The timing helps too. If Peter and Matt already share a story before January 2027, their alliance will feel earned when Season 2 begins.
Is Daredevil Really in Season 2?
Yes. Charlie Cox said in April 2026 that he had no idea whether he was in the new season, and he noted how secretive the show is. Since then, D23 Expo 2026 footage confirmed his return, complete with the classic red suit from Daredevil: Born Again.
The Villains: Rhino and Lizard
The comic’s teaser promises the debut of classic Spider-Man villains in this universe. The D23 poster for Season 2 already confirmed alternate versions of Rhino and Lizard.
That fits what we know from Season 1. Mikhail Systevich never became Rhino, and Carla Connors worked alongside Peter and hasn’t transformed yet. The prequel could show how both characters change.
What Could Happen Next?
Daredevil is already watching Oscorp, so seeing Rhino and Lizard emerge from the same place would pull him into the fight naturally. It could also end the argument between the two heroes about Norman Osborn.
Since Season 1 broke the mentor bond between Peter and Norman, Daredevil could become Peter’s street-level guide. It is a fun idea, and the comic looks like the place to plant it.
The show is part of the wider Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man story, and this prequel adds a fresh chapter before the new season.
