In 'Daredevil: Born Again,' the death of Deputy Mayor Daniel Blake was altered in post-production despite being originally filmed surviving the confrontation with Buck Cashman. Showrunner Dario Scardapane decided the survival arc weakened the story, opting instead to CGI a gunshot to kill Blake. The change was made during editing, with both actors unaware of the final outcome during filming. The revised scene heightens tension and stakes ahead of the season finale.
