After being originally left out of Marvel Television’s Daredevil: Born Again, Wilson Bethel joined the cast following the creative retooling that brought it into alignment with the original Netflix series. Thanks to a little retcon, Bethel‘s Bullseye became a bit more interesting, having influenced Matt Murdock enough to have him take a bullet for the Fat Man.
Set photos have revealed that Bullseye will play an integral role in Season 2, perhaps even as part of Murdock’s resistance, though it’s unclear just how long the pair will remain allies, given Dex offed Matt’s bestie. What is clear, however, after a recent con appearance by Bethel, is that Dex will survive the events of Season 2 and be back in action when season 3 hits D+ in 2027.
“As some of you might know, we’ve already got picked up for another new season that we will start doing next year,” said Bethel. “We’ll have more Bullseye on the way and Kingpin and all the rest.” Yay…
As exciting as it is to learn that Marvel Television has no interest in moving away from Kingpin and Bullseye six seasons into Daredevil, Bethel did try to prime the pump for Dex’s appearance in Season 2. “There are whole new avenues of Dex’s interesting, messed-up psyche that we get to explore, and there’s some really, really fun stuff that’s on the way for Bullseye and Dex,” Bethel said.
Bethel also teased “a truly fucking awesome” sequence filmed for Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, which will debut on D+ in March 2026. “I think the coolest Bullseye fight sequence that we have yet to see in the show is part of [Season 2].” Hopefully it involves some buzzing and more of him using odd shit to kill people because there’s nothing more interesting.
