Wilson Bethel Teases 'A New Dex' for Bullseye in DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN Season 2 — GeekTyrant
Daredevil: Born Again is set to return to Disney+ next year with Season 2, and Wilson Bethel is set to return as Benjamin 'Dex' Poindexter, better known as Bullseye. After his debut in Daredevil Season 3, Bethel is back, and according to the actor, fans should brace themselves for a very different version of the lethal marksman. Bethel's comeback wasn't always in the cards. Originally, Born Again didn't include Bullseye, but the creative overhaul brought the villain back into the fold and judging by Bethel's excitement, that was the right call. Speaking with Collider, the actor reflected on what it meant to reprise this iconic role: 'As it happened, getting that call and getting the opportunity to return to that show and return to that character, who I just absolutely adore playing, and I think it's so much fun to play, it's just been one of the great surprising gifts of my entire career. We just finished shooting the second season. I get to do so much fun, insane stuff in this new season.' Bethel went on to tease even bigger plans for the future: 'I'm so excited for fans to see it. I hope that we have several, if not many more, years of wonderful story in store for Bullseye and for the whole Daredevil crew. It's such a great, lovely group of people on that show, in front of and behind the camera. I just feel honored to be part of it.' As for what fans can expect when the new season drops? Bethel hints that we're about to see a whole new layer of Dex. 'The Dex of Season 2 is a new Dex that we haven't really seen yet,' he teased. 'I'm very excited for people to see it, and I'm curious to see how they weigh in on it. There are some elements of him in this season, some sides of his personality, that we haven't seen yet, and I'm thrilled for people to get to see it.' While details remain under wraps, leaked set photos suggest Daredevil may end up forming an uneasy alliance with the man who murdered Foggy Nelson. Considering Bullseye is still on the run after his failed attempt to kill Wilson Fisk, this could make for one of the most intense story arcs yet. In other Daredevil: Born Again news, Vincent D'Onofrio recently confirmed he has wrapped filming as Kingpin, and with D23 around the corner, there's a good chance the first footage will debut there. Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again will consist of eight episodes and is slated to premiere on Disney+ in March 2026.

DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN Season 2 Set Photos Reveal New Details About Daredevil's Suit — GeekTyrant
Things are heating up on the streets of New York, at least on the set of Daredevil: Born Again Season 2. New set photos from the upcoming second season have surfaced, and they're teasing some changes to the costumes for both Daredevil and his longtime nemesis Bullseye. Matt Murdock's gear is looking rougher and a lot more lived-in. It looks like the red suit we're familiar with has been painted black, a makeshift disguise that's starting to wear off. In these new images, large red patches are bleeding through the black, revealing a gritty, battle-worn version of Daredevil's classic look. The iconic "DD" chest logo is still intact, though. Faded, but still holding strong. Wilson Bethel's Bullseye is also back in action and he's rocking a new upgrade. It's another look at his mask, which now features a proper bullseye symbol, finally leaning all the way into the character's comic book persona. One shot also features graffiti that reads 'Resist, Rebel,' with the Rs cleverly stylized to mimic Daredevil's double D symbol. Charlie Cox recently sat down with Collider to tease what's coming in Season 2, saying: "Matt has the ability, and this is one of his strengths in the past, to see things quite clearly — often incorrectly, but he sees things clearly. 'He makes a decision, and then he follows through with that decision. He communicates with people that way. He says, 'No, this is what we have to do. We're going to do that. That's what we do next. That's the next step.' He's very good at committing to those decisions." But that decisiveness may be unraveling: "Because of some things that happen at the end of Season 1, and because of where we find ourselves at the beginning of Season 2, and in my conversations with Dario [Scardapane], our amazing writer and showrunner, I've found that there's an opportunity for him to no longer trust those instincts and no longer be clear-minded about what the next right step is, and so he questions a lot. 'He kind of backtracks a bit. He's clearly unsure and finding that he has to take gambles and hope that he's making the right choice." In Marvel Television's Daredevil: Born Again , Matt Murdock, a blind lawyer with heightened abilities is fighting for justice through his bustling law firm, while former mob boss Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio) pursues his own political endeavors in New York. When their past identities begin to emerge, both men find themselves on an inevitable collision course. The series also stars Margarita Levieva, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, Zabryna Guevara, Nikki James, Genneya Walton, Arty Froushan, Clark Johnson, Michael Gandolfini, with Ayelet Zurer and Jon Bernthal. Dario Scardapane is showrunner.
