The Return of Bullseye: Wilson Bethel Joins Daredevil: Born Again

The Troubled Road of Daredevil: Born Again

The journey of Daredevil: Born Again has been fraught with challenges and setbacks. Initially announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2022, the MCU's revival of the Netflix series generated significant buzz and anticipation.

Wilson Bethel as Bullseye

Marvel wasted no time in reintegrating Charlie Cox's Daredevil into the MCU with appearances in Spider-Man: No Way Home, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, and Echo. However, reports of production difficulties and a lukewarm reception to the initial episodes prompted a complete overhaul of the project.

The production is currently in the process of regaining its footing by bringing back key cast members and embarking on a fresh script. Furthermore, the addition of a returning villain adds an intriguing dimension to the series.

The Resurgence of Bullseye: Wilson Bethel's Return

As confirmed by ComicBook.com, the formidable Wilson Bethel is set to reprise his role as Benjamin Poindexter, also known as Bullseye, in Daredevil: Born Again.

Bethel's portrayal of Poindexter garnered widespread acclaim in Daredevil Season Three. As an FBI agent with unparalleled marksmanship and precision, he assumed the identity of Daredevil as part of Kingpin's scheme to tarnish the hero's reputation.

In Marvel Comics, Bullseye is a formidable adversary of Daredevil, as well as other iconic Marvel figures such as Hawkeye and The Punisher. Renowned for his merciless and unscrupulous nature, Bullseye's flawless aim has resulted in some of Daredevil's most devastating losses, including the tragic deaths of Elektra and Karen Page.

The announcement of Bethel's return follows the news of Elden Henson and Deborah Ann Woll reprising their roles as Foggy Nelson and Karen Page in Born Again. Initial speculations hinted at the demise of their characters in an off-screen event.

While Bethel's return has been confirmed, details regarding the extent of his involvement and the trajectory of his character remain shrouded in mystery. Notably, the Season 3 finale depicted Poindexter being incapacitated with a severe spinal injury.

The concluding moments of Daredevil Season 3 depicted Poindexter undergoing surgery to reinforce his vertebrae with Cogmium steel, a subtle nod to his comic book counterpart's Adamantium spine.

A Glimpse into the Future: Daredevil: Born Again on Disney+
