‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Star Teases Revised Season 3 Look

Benjamin Poindexter’s evolution into Marvel’s definitive sharpshooter is officially hitting its final stage. Following his chaotic, narrative-shattering role in the Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, Wilson Bethel took to social media to drop high-concept tease of his upgraded Season 3 costume.

For anyone who thought Dex’s tactical blue threads in Season 2 were the peak of his comic adaptation, Bethel is warning fans: Season 3 is stripping away the anti-hero gray and unleashing a comic-accurate monster.

While the actor’s social media post was playfully obscured to keep Marvel’s spoiler police at bay, it clearly showcased a refined, darker pivot for the iconic Bullseye logo.

“To be fully honest with you, I still don’t 100% know where it goes. Daario [Scardapane] basically told me that Dex is now working for the government. He’s now a G-man,” said Bethel of Bullseye’s Season 3 appearance. “That’s what he pitched me, but I’ve only read the first two scripts of season three. I’m only in them a little bit so far.“

Now under the employ of Mr. Charles, on behalf of Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, Dex will be reformatted into a black-ops asset in Season 3 and has been teasing a new, comic-accurate suit for some time.

Yeah, I’m a big advocate for [a comic-accurate costume]. And I will tell you this without giving anything away. There’s a new there’s a new suit in the works. I won’t say anything beyond that, but there’s definitely a new costume next season.

Bethel recently emphasized that audiences shouldn’t get comfortable with the version of Dex they saw in Season 2, who believes he’s one of the good guys. “One of the things that’s so much fun to play… is that there is a certain kind of capriciousness to where his mind or his emotions might be at. This is a deeply unstable person.” Fans have been hoping and theorizing that Bullseye will eventually join Yelena Belova, John Walker et Al on the New Avengers/Thunderbolts and while there’s no evidence of that at the moment, it’s only one degree of separation away from reality.
