Daredevil: Born Again fans are excited about a potential return of the villain Bullseye in the upcoming MCU series.
Daredevil: Born Again is currently undergoing a creative overhaul due to various setbacks, leading Marvel Studios to dismiss the writers and directors involved in the production.

While the release date for Daredevil: Born Again remains uncertain, a recent copyright filing suggests a potential delay from 2024 to early 2025, making it one of the highly anticipated shows from Marvel Studios. Notably, several actors from Netflix's Daredevil will reprise their roles in the series, fueling speculation among fans about the potential return of a particular villain. Instagram user @bensolo_cup shared the impressive poster featuring Bullseye.
How Daredevil: Born Again’s Creative Overhaul Could Lead To Bullseye’s Return
The cast of Daredevil: Born Again features the primary characters of Charlie Cox's Daredevil, Vincent D'Onofrio's Kingpin, and Jon Bernthal's Punisher. They are overshadowed by the towering presence of Bullseye. Notably, both Daredevil and the Punisher receive updated suit designs, with the Devil of Hell's Kitchen now sporting his iconic "DD" logo.Filming for Daredevil: Born Again commenced in March, but unfortunately, production had to be abruptly halted in June due to the SAG-AFTRA strike. The highly-anticipated MCU series faced a significant setback, with no updates on its progress for several months. However, a recent report shed light on the production challenges faced by Daredevil: Born Again, revealing that Marvel Studios has decided to completely restart the series.
According to the report, Marvel Studios has made significant changes to the upcoming series Daredevil: Born Again. The writers and directors of the show have been let go, and the studio plans to take a different approach than originally intended. The initial concept was described as a legal procedural, lacking the action and violence typically associated with the Netflix version of Daredevil. However, Marvel has recognized the mistake of deviating from the character's trademark elements and may introduce the return of Bullseye to the MCU series.
In the third season of Netflix's Daredevil, there was a hint that Wilson Bethel's character, Benjamin Poindexter, would transform into the supervillain Bullseye. Fans of the Marvel franchise have been urging for Bethel to portray Bullseye in Daredevil: Born Again, despite the absence of key characters such as Foggy Nelson and Karen Page. The inclusion of Bullseye aligns with the darker and more violent direction that Daredevil: Born Again aims to take, making Bethel's version of the character an ideal fit.
