Your Guide To The Future Of Marvel’s Netflix Shows

  • Daredevil season 3
  • Release: TBA 2018
  • Starring: Charlie Cox, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, Vincent D’Onofrio, Ayelet Zurer (rumored)

Daredevil is the Marvel/Netflix flagship, responsible for bringing much of its plot over into The Defenders. But bubbling in the background of the show’s second season and the upcoming team-up miniseries are two things: Wilson Fisk aka Kingpin’s vengeance against Matt Murdock and Daredevil and Matt revealing to Karen Page his secret identity, both of which portend an adaptation of arguably the most acclaimed Daredevil story ever written – Frank Miller’s “Born Again.”

With the Hand presumably dealt with in The Defenders, it allows Daredevil to go back to its roots (as much as three year-old series can) with tight focus on its singular hero a la Iron Man 3 post-Avengers. The epic prison meeting between Fisk and Matt, when he ill-advisedly threatened the immigration status of Fisk’s beloved fiancee Vanessa, is just a promise waiting to be fulfilled. Same for Page, who now knows Murdock is Daredevil, as it is from her that Fisk also finds out they are one and the same. In the comics, Karen’s a drug addict who sells Matt out to get a fix; perhaps here Fisk discovers another secret: that she murdered his best friend Wesley back in season 1 and blackmails her. The comic arc also included the character of Nuke aka Will Simpson, who is played by Wil Traval on Jessica Jones.
