‘I Didn't Know.' One Thing Miley Cyrus Wishes She Could Go Back And Change About Hannah Montana's Later Years
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Nearly 20 years after it premiered, Hannah Montana remains a pop culture favorite among fans that can be rewatched with a Disney+ subscription. Its impact on the entertainment industry turned Miley Cyrus into the youngest celeb inducted as a Disney Legend. Despite going through her many different eras and struggling with fame after the show ended, both Hannah Montana and the Hannah persona still mean a lot to the 'Something Beautiful' singer, but there is still at least one thing Cyrus would change about the Disney show. One of the best things about Hannah Montana, if not the best thing, is Miley Cyrus' talents as a singer and performer IRL. Not only did Cyrus put on the wig and outfits and perform actual concerts, but she also had a hand in writing some of Hannah's biggest hits. She was inspired to lend more of her voice after her attempts to maturate the character went unfulfilled. Speaking on the podcast Every Single Album, Cyrus said she now wishes she'd been just as quick to make sure her contributions were legally recognized. In her words: I didn't know to like ask for songwriting credit because I didn't even know because I'm like, well, it's going to say 'Hannah Montana' and I'm Hannah Montana, so that's enough credit for me. But now I'm like, I should have really had more credit in there because I was shaping that whole identity of the thing. And a lot of the songs were written off experiences that I was having. Fans of Hannah Montana know that there are some very personal songs, and although Cyrus shared that some tracks are 'episodic' in that they work for a specific episode or storyline, there are certainly others that more directly reflect her personal life. Her initial reasoning for not pushing for songwriting credits makes sense, since she was just a child star trying to succeed, and naively believed that portraying Hannah Montana was simply enough. Which is part of the reason why Meet Miley Cyrus was a thing. The character's second album, aptly named Hannah Montana 2, was a double album that also featured 10 songs sung by Cyrus as herself. The songs were inspired by a breakup, and she was truly able to be herself and have songwriting credits. But it gave fans just a taste of who she really is, and although Hannah was never able to veer into more mature storytelling with those songs' lyrics, Cyrus putting out her own music gave her that form of expression. Regardless of Hannah Montana's clean-cut image and Miley Cyrus trying her best to give her a mature edge, she has proven time and time again that the experience meant the world to her. She even shared an emotional letter on the show's 15th anniversary, showing that she will always be Hannah. It's hard to believe that several actresses nearly earned the lead role in Hannah Montana, such as Lucy Hale and Aly Michalka, and it's equally hard to imagine how different things would have been had Cyrus not won the executives over. It would have been nice to see a more mature Hannah from the start, but perhaps a reboot will come together in the future that finally gives the actress the chance, even if it's not part of the 2025 TV schedule.

Vincent D'Onofrio teases ‘Daredevil: Born Again' Season 2 is ‘even more complex and more dangerous'
It took time for Daredevil: Born Again to figure out what kind of show it wanted to be. Stars Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio started reprising their roles as Matt Murdock/Daredevil and Wilson Fisk/Kingpin in 2021, with respective cameos in other Marvel Cinematic Universe projects like Spider-Man: No Way Home and Hawkeye. That meant working within the tones of those stories, but when the two characters finally reunited, their actors knew they needed to return to the flavor of the previous Daredevil series (which originally streamed on Netflix before moving to Disney+). 'Our jobs as actors are to service the story,' D'Onofrio tells Gold Derby during a brief break from filming Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again. 'It's my job to match the tone of whatever they're doing, because otherwise it'll look odd. So each time I played him, we got closer to the darker aspect, which I think really suits him — like, Echo got a little more gritty [than Hawkeye]. And so then we were going to do a show that was even less dark, but we realized early on that this wasn't working, that it had to be more like the original show.' More from GoldDerby Everything to know about HBO's 'Harry Potter' TV series - including the cast and controversy Grammys EP Ben Winston on the risks of producing live TV: 'I always never know quite why we do it' 'Ballerina' stumbles at the box office while 'Lilo & Stitch' surfs to another $32.5M D'Onofrio continues, 'so about six episodes in of the first season, we stopped and rethought things, and so now we're doing the show that we always wanted to do. We kept the idea that it was a shared show with two leads, which is different than the Netflix show, but I think it's interesting.' D'Onofrio is right that both Fisk and Murdock each feel like protagonists of their own story in Daredevil: Born Again, and one of the show's most interesting elements is that they hardly ever interact. Cox and D'Onofrio only shared the screen a couple times in Season 1, and each time they did (such as their Heat-worthy diner conversation in the premiere episode, or the climactic moment when Murdock unexpectedly took a bullet for Fisk) there were explosive consequences. According to D'Onofrio, viewers should expect that trend to continue into Season 2. Disney/Marvel 'We're sticking to the plan where the more you put these guys together, the less interesting it is,' D'Onofrio says, echoing what Cox has also told us. 'But there are a couple of, to say the least, very intense moments between the two of them in the second season.' D'Onofrio continues, 'It's sparse, but it's intense as hell. And there's a lot for fans to look forward to in the second season because it's, how can I put this? What we're doing in the second season, when we pair up Daredevil and Fisk in scenes, is even more complex and more dangerous than they've seen before. Some of the scenes that we're having in the second season, there's been nothing like them before.' Season 1 of Daredevil: Born Again ended with both Murdock and Fisk reclaiming their roles (and signature costumes) as Daredevil and Kingpin, despite what they told each other in that diner. They've each got supporters, in the form of Daredevil's ragtag group of righteous prosecutors, fugitive vigilantes, and fearless reporters lining up against Mayor Fisk's anti-vigilante task force. This is a change from the original Daredevil series, which reset its plotlines every season. Though D'Onofrio is wary about letting spoilers out of the bag too soon, he confirms that Season 2 will build from there. 'We pick up where we left off, and things are just getting increasingly intense,' D'Onofrio says. 'At the end of the first season, he's declared martial law, and that doesn't go away. That gets even more intense, and there's a feeling of a resistance being formed with Charlie's side of the show. Aspects of that continue through the second season in very intense ways. So I really can't say much more than that, but the story continues to move forward.' The prospect of a supervillain like Kingpin successfully becoming mayor of New York City is frankly believable at a time when Donald Trump can get re-elected president after being impeached twice and Eric Adams, the real-life mayor of New York, can retain his office after being indicted by the FBI. But Fisk's power doesn't just come from his office. Why do the violent cops on his task force follow him so loyally? 'It's very clear that it's harder to be good than it is to be bad, and that makes us who we are as people,' D'Onofrio says. 'Are we willing to struggle to keep our morality? I think a lot of us are, but unfortunately, there are people that don't want to work so hard. They just want what they want, and they don't want to work for it. They just want to steal it. So I think that's what's happening. I think that his henchmen on the task force are following suit. Fisk wants to stretch his reach and they want to follow because it's easy.' But if the characters want things the easy way, the actors don't. After the creative reboot on Daredevil: Born Again got everyone in the cast and crew on the same page, they've all gone full steam ahead. 'It is a very hard show to do because you've got two very interesting main characters that live in the light and in the dark, and that's a tough script to write,' D'Onofrio says. 'So we're doing everything we need to do to struggle through them, get them right, and keep trying to do the best we can do. We're all working our butts off, the whole crew and all the actors.' D'Onofrio continues, 'We're also super lucky. We have such an amazing cast of supporting actors. I've made a career out of being a supporting actor, and it's so nice to see these young people who are supporting in our cast be such good actors and really brave and trying to do all kinds of things to make our stories more interesting. It just seems to be gelling out really well. It's quite a crew.' Season 1 of Daredevil: Born Again is streaming now on Disney+.
