Heads will roll in Echo. And get bashed in. And explode. The first trailer for the upcoming MCU series Echo is full of violence, blood, and a whole lot of goodness. The trailer for this five-episode special event honestly looks amazing. Both Alaqua Cox’s Maya Lopez and Vincent D’Onofrio’s Wilson Fisk are delivering. This truly looks like an MCU series like none other, and we kind of love it. Take a look at Echo‘s first trailer below, if you dare.

We first met Echo in the Hawkeye series, which carried a very different tone. And we feel thrilled to see her coming into her own in this outing. It is incredible to see a Marvel show center on a deaf and Indigenous character and for it to have taken care to support this representation in front of and behind the camera.

A logline for the series revealed with the trailer shares more about the show, noting:

No bad deed goes unpunished on Jan. 10, 2024, when Marvel Studios’ “Echo” launches on Disney+ and Hulu. The five-episode streaming event spotlights Maya Lopez (Alaqua Cox) as she is pursued by Wilson Fisk’s (Vincent D’Onofrio) criminal empire. When the journey brings her home, she must confront her own family and legacy. All five episodes will stream on Jan. 10 on both platforms. They’ll be available on Hulu until April 9. This marks the first Marvel Studios series to drop all entirely bingeable episodes at once. 

The relationship between the MCU’s Kingpin and Echo is fraught, as we’ve seen before and see again in this trailer. But when the chips fall, will Echo end up as much a monster as her mentor? Only time will tell. At one point, rumor had it that Charlie Cox’s Daredevil would also appear on the Echo show. And though he is not mentioned in any official materials so far, we caught a brief glimpse of Daredevil in a montage of shots featured in Echo‘s trailer. Very exciting.

As the description of the series mentions, there are a few interesting aspects of Echo‘s release. Firstly, the series will run on both Hulu and Disney+, likely an homage to its grittier nature. Echo also has the distinction of being the MCU’s first series rated TV-MA. And, of course, all episodes of Echo will land at once. Disney+ has never shared a series in this format before, so it will be interesting to see how it impacts viewership. We can only hope that it helps.

All five episodes of Echo will be available to stream on January 10.

When the Netflix Daredevil series ended in 2018, fans everywhere were pretty heartbroken. The series, which starred Charlie Cox as vigilante lawyer Matt Murdock, remains one of the most beloved Marvel-produced live-action products of all time. Fans jumped for joy when Marvel finally announced last year that a new Daredevil series would arrive on Disney+ in 2024, featuring both Cox in the title role and his nemesis Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk, a.k.a. Kingpin. But in a recent interview with Newsweek, D’Onofrio revealed that Marvel is already planning a second season of Daredevil: Born Again. Here’s what he had to say:

By the second season, there are gigantic, gigantic payoffs—in the first season, too, but I can’t say much about that—but the fans are gonna really get what they want. It’s really quite cool to be doing it.

And there you have it: “Second season,” straight from the Kingpin’s mouth. The first season of Daredevil: Born Again will have 18 episodes in total. That’s a lot for the modern streaming age. It’s about triple the episode count of what most MCU Disney+ shows have for their first seasons. It’s a remarkable vote of confidence from Marvel Studios. Knowing that we’re getting another batch of episodes on top of that is the cherry on the sundae. D’Onofrio also commented that Jon Bernthal would play a huge part in the series. This has led many to believe that the Punisher is going to be the main antagonist.

It’s hard to speculate what a second season (or fifth, depending on how you look at it) might entail. Especially without having watched the first one yet. But there is one thing we really hope for. So far, it looks like Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson, who play Karen Page and Foggy Nelson, respectively, won’t be in season one. They were an integral part of the Netflix Daredevil series, and removing them seems like a big mistake. We hope that if season two does get underway soon, both of those actors can return. The law firm of Nelson and Murdock is just not the same without Nelson and Page.

Daredevil: Born Again premieres on Disney+ in 2024.

It’s the panel we’ve all been waiting for! Yes Marvel and head honcho Kevin Feige have returned to Hall H, and as expected they’ve teased the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As the panel opened Feige revealed the entire slate for Phase 5, which will begin in 2023. One of the most exciting tidbits was the announcement of the full title of the Daredevil Disney+ series. It’ll take from one of the Man Without Fear’s most famous comics arcs: Daredevil: Born Again. 

Born Again is one of the darkest tales in Daredevil’s comic book canon. Created by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli, the series focuses on the fall of Daredevil at the hands of the Kingpin. 

Born Again is one of the darkest tales in Daredevil’s comic book canon. Created by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli, the series focuses on the fall of Daredevil at the hands of the Kingpin. 

It’s most notable for its treatment of Karen Page, played in the Netflix series by Deborah Ann Woll (who is not confirmed to return but seems very likely too now). In the famed story arc she struggles with addiction and even becomes a sex worker. Kingpin uses this against Daredevil as part of his plan to destroy the hero of Hell’s Kitchen. As is the way with many Miller-penned stories about women, it’s hardly an empathetic portrayal. Interestingly though, the notion of Karen as an addict was already part in the original Netflix Daredevil series, in the character’s past. So it’ll be intriguing to see how Disney recontextualizes this controversial but fan favorite arc.  

It could definitely be the case that Disney is just taking the title and putting it here. It’s very fitting for a reboot/continuation. But Vincent D’Onofrio has confirmed to return as Kingpin. We can therefore assume that we’ll at least see that classical rivalry reignite. If it continues the story of the Netflix series, Kingpin could be back trying to get vengeance on Daredevil. Something very exciting is that the Disney+ Kingpin that we saw in Hawkeye was far more of a comic book iteration than the Netflix show. Superpowered and almost immortal. He’ll be a true challenge to Matt Murdock when he hits the Disney+ streets in the next couple of years. 

The 18 episode series will debut in Spring 2024.

Any news out of the MCU is a big deal. But this latest casting tidbit is sure to reverberate. A new report says Daredevil‘s Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio will reprise their Marvel roles as Matt Murdock and Kingpin in the upcoming Disney+ series Echo. Here’s what we’ve learned about this Daredevil and Echo crossover.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Cox and D’Onofrio have joined the cast of the Hawkeye spinoff series Echo. The show, currently shooting in Atlanta, will follow Alaqua Cox’s character Maya Lopez. Hawkeye introduced the character to the MCU and saw Maya shoot her former boss and friend, Kingpin. The series also marked D’Onfrio’s first time appearing in the MCU proper after he originally played the notorious crime boss on the Netflix Marvel series Daredevil. That’s where he famously went up against Cox’s attorney/superhero Matt Murdock.

Like D’Onofrio, Cox also made his MCU proper debut last year. He appeared as Peter Parker’s Blind lawyer in Spider-Man: No Way Home. (Where we saw why he’s a very good attorney.) Since then all of the former Netflix Marvel shows have found a new home at Disney+.

If this report is true it would answer our question over whether or not Kingpin actually died in the Hawkeye finale. However, it does not tell us whether or not the Daredevil characters are the same exact versions we’ve seen in the MCU. The original portrayals might now be Variants from a parallel world. And while another rumor about the show won’t do much to clarify that, it will make fans of The Defenders happy.

THR says that on Echo, Cox will be looking for a former ally. And according to The Weekly Planet Podcast, that ally will be none other than Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones. If that’s the case, it makes perfect sense why all of these performers will be joining Echo. The show will reflect some of the best Marvel characters who made their mark outside of the MCU.

It’s finally here! After five fantastic episodes and a bunch of MCU-shifting moments, the finale of Hawkeye has arrived. Yes, [redacted] is in it and, of course, [redacted] happened. So if you’ve watched episode six and are ready to dig into those spoilers then read on! There’s a lot to catch and break down so make sure you’re all caught up before reading any further.

Some Sharp Duds

The episode begins exactly where any fan would want it to: Kingpin, Kingpin, Kingpin! And as we first meet him, he’s wearing his comics accurate costume. That’s the cane, slick white jacket, and purple pants he rocks as he chats to Eleanor Bishop.

“We’ve had a good relationship, haven’t we?”

If you’ve been wondering just what Eleanor and Wilson Fisk’s relationship is then Hawkeye‘s finale answers that immediately. The pair have been working together for years. It turns out that Kate’s father, Eleanor’s husband, owed Fisk a ton of money. So Eleanor has been doing his bidding for almost two decades.

ELEANOR, YOU DID WHAT?

Yep. As she chats with Kingpin, Eleanor casually reveals that she “dealt with Armand.” So either she murdered her future father-in-law or hired someone to do it. Oh and we were right, Jack is wrongfully taking the fall for Sloane Ltd. Eleanor, how could you do that to Tony Dalton?

Dragons of Despair

In a nice nod to their LARPing friends, as Kate and Clint chat in Grills’ apartment, we see a big poster for the classic 1985 Dungeons & Dragons series. Written by Tracy Hickman, Dragons of Despair launched the 16 book strong series of Dragonlance adventures.

“Every time I think I’m ready to give up my trick arrows, they make a surprising comeback.”

We get some powerful trick arrow time during this episode. As Kate and Clint prepare for their big showdown they team up to make some more of the famed weapons. We see them crafting a bunch of comics accurate and new arrows. If you want to get an idea of the kind of arrows they’re making, the above page from the Marvel Universe Handbook is a fun thing to reference.

Kate Comes Clean

In a touching moment, Kate shares her memory of the Battle of New York with Clint. It’s a sweet and vulnerable scene for Kate and cements her relationship with Clint. Usually, though, this emotional reveal comes before a tragedy, so we’re not feeling good about what comes next.

Lookin’ Good, Wilson 

In another comic book nod, we get Wilson in a snazzy Hawaiian shirt with his signature white suit. This is taken directly from Amazing Spider-Man: Family Business #1. With his diamond cane and a gala playing a major part in the storyline, this feels like a really influential issue on the finale. 

That Shiny Christmas Tree

Look, if we hadn’t just mainlined multiple viewings of Spider-Man: No Way Home, we would not include the Rockefeller Center’s famed tree. But seeing as this was the last place we saw Spider-Man swinging in his brand new suit, we had to bring it up! Doesn’t it look pretty?

Christmas Tree Owl

While in the Rockefeller Center tree, Clint spots an owl. That’s a classic ripped from the headlines nod. Last year, a very small owl hitched a ride on the massive tree from upstate New York to Manhattan. After discovering the feathered creature, rescuers saved the owl and released it safely back into the wild.

Kate’s Comic Book Costume

After that frankly delightful tête-à-tête in the elevator with Yelena, in which Hailee Steinfeld and Florence Pugh prove why they’re the best ship in the MCU right now, Kate reveals her comics inspired costume. The rad purple and black suit looks just as good on the screen. And in an art imitating life imitating art moment, the current Kate Bishop Hawkeye comic recently introduced the  MCU suit!

Long Live Swordsman

Sure he might not have ended up being the deep-cut Hawkeye mentor we hoped for, but Swordsman is still a total joy. Tony Dalton goes wild with his sword, fighting off the Tracksuit Mafia. It’s a super fun nod to his comic book backstory and lets Dalton once again show why he’s become a fan favorite in this season. Long live Jack Duquesne!

The LARPers Live Up to Their Names

We’ve talked about how each of the LARPers have comic book aliases. And while they don’t get comics accurate suits they do get a little super-powered moment. They rock their newly created costumes to help save civilians from the Tracksuit Mafia.

So Spider-Man Was Definitely Set Before the Finale Then?

As we mentioned before, Spider-Man: No Way Home ends with Spidey flying past that big ol’ tree. But we see that tree get decimated here during this fight. So either that took place during a later Christmas season or prior to the Hawkeye finale. Ah, the MCU timeline, isn’t it fun?

Clint’s Secret Avengers Costume

Just like Kate, Clint gets a comic book accurate costume this week too. While it’s technically a new design for the MCU, it takes heavily from the 2013 Secret Avengers series. It was a look that continued on in different forms into the David Aja and Matt Fraction’s Hawkeye series that influenced this show.

“I’ll have to ask Scott about that.”

Seeing as Clint just casually has a ton of Pym particles laying around, it was inevitable we’d get another Ant-Man nod. After Clint shrinks the Trust A Bro van, leaving all the Tracksuits inside, he refers to Scott as the only person who’ll know how to get ’em back to normal. Alas, before that can happen, that owl snatches them up, which is actually pretty bleak.

Oh, That’s the Real Kingpin

While Netflix’s Daredevil introduced viewers to a grounded and gritty world, here we’re seeing Kingpin straight out of the comics. In those iconic stories Kingpin was superpowered. And while we saw his strength in Daredevil, here we see him rip a door off a car and then get hit by that same car through a plate glass window and he’s absolutely fine! This easily makes him one of the most formidable foes in the MCU right now and we cannot wait to see more. But, of course, how much more will be defined by whether or not Echo managed to kill him in their showdown. Seeing as how he survived everything else this episode, we think the odds are good he’ll return.

“We’re family.”

But, of course, how much more will be defined by whether or not Echo managed to kill him in their showdown. Seeing as how he survived everything else this episode, we think the odds are good he’ll return. Also this moment was a nice visual nod to the Daredevil issue where Echo debuted.

Black Widows, Black Widows Everywhere

There are a whole bunch of Black Widow references this week. Clint and Yelena bond and fight over memories of Nat, which include references to Vormir, her death in Endgame, and the Black Widow movie. It’s a huge moment for Yelena, who finally comes to learn (most of) the truth about her sister’s death. Clint also gets to share how much of an impact his partner had on his life.

Home Again, Home Again, Jiggity Jig

We return once again this week to the Barton family homestead. Yes, the horrific site of Clint’s entire family being blipped away is now the cutesy home they all share. With Kate’s mom now presumably in prison, the elder Hawkeye takes Kate back home and the pair spend Christmas with his family.

“You’ll never guess what was found in a black market auction in New York.”

Looks like the theories were right folks: Laura Barton is the MCU’s Mockingbird. How do we know this? Well, that would be the watch that Clint gives her. That Rolex did belong to Laura and on the back it had a S.H.I.E.L.D. logo and the number 19. In the comics, Bobbi Morse, a.k.a. Mockingbird is Agent 19 of S.H.I.E.L.D. So yes, we think it’s safe to say this is a thing now.

Don’t Forget That Mid-Credits Scene, Baby

If you were one of the many fans of the Rogers the Musical number “Save the City,” you’ll be pleased with the mid-credits scene. It’s the full number complete with dancing and effects. So if you’re a musical lover then live it up. Also, you get a nice cameo from one of the song’s composers, Marc Shaiman, who we see as the conductor here. We could do this all day!

Those All Important Thanks

The only new creator this week is Don Rico. Interestingly, as a co-creator of Black Widow we’d have thought he’d have been thanked in previous episodes, but this is his first appearance. We’re not 100% sure why it took this long, but it could have something to do with an ongoing legal battle between his estate—and numerous other creators—and Marvel.

That’s all, folks! Thanks so much for following along and see you for more hot eggs in 2022!

The post Every Easter Egg from the HAWKEYE Finale appeared first on Nerdist.

For a long time, fans have been very curious to know what will happen to the roster of Netflix’s Marvel characters. The status of these shows and how they relate to the MCU has felt murky for a long time. But now, it looks the MCU has finally decided to move on this point. Recently, Kevin Feige shared that Netflix’s Daredevil would indeed be the MCU’s Daredevil. The Marvel head honcho confirmed they would keep Netflix’s casting. He noted that Charlie Cox would play Daredevil, should the character appear. But Feige kept the circumstances of such a return vague. But now Hawkeye has cemented the sentiment. Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin, from Netflix Marvel’s Daredevil, has joined the MCU in Hawkeye.

In episode five, fans learn that Kate’s mother, Eleanor Bishop, hired Yelena Belova to kill Clint Barton. Yelena sends Kate an image of her mother standing next to a mysterious man. That man? Vincent D’Onofrio’s Wilson Fisk, a.k.a. Kingpin. Vincent D’Onofrio, of course, played Kingpin in Netflix’s Daredevil. And now he also officially plays the MCU’s Kingpin. Fans suspect that Vincent D’Onofrio’s character is also Echo’s mysterious “uncle.” In the comics, Echo (or Maya Lopez) and Kingpin had a close relationship, giving credence to the theory.

Episode six of Hawkeye will likely reveal more about D’Onofrio’s Kingpin in the MCU. However, his presence resounds beyond just one show. With the promise of Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock in the MCU and now Vincent D’Onofrio’s arrival as Kingpin… it feels like Netflix’s Daredevil has truly joined the MCU. Does this mean other Daredevil characters will appear? That much seems likely.

However, the Netflix Marvel world goes beyond just one show. Have all of Netflix’s Marvel shows now become MCU canon? Well, it feels too early to tell. But the door certainly has swung wide open. This will definitely come as a big relief for fans of these shows and their casts.

The post Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin Joins the MCU In HAWKEYE appeared first on Nerdist.

It’s that time again. Hawkeye is here and that means we’re ready to break it all down. The newest episode, “Ronin,” is heavy on character beats and lighter on Easter eggs. But it still had some fun nods and references as well as a lot of interesting connective tissue. Plus we get a huge reveal in the episode’s final moments, so make sure you’ve watched before you read on.

Back to Black (Widow)

The episode begins with voiceovers from the Black Widow movie. Yelena and Natasha talk about the Black Widow program and the way they freed their fellow widows.

So That’s Where Yelena’s Been

From there the show jumps back to 2018. We see Yelena and another widow, Sonya, who’ve been curing their colleagues. But when they attempt to help a woman named Ana, they learn she was never brainwashed. She just loved killing people, apparently. Even still, she chats with them about their plan and how it’s going. But when Yelena goes to wash her hands, she’s shockingly blipped thanks to Thanos. But we’ll get to that in a minute…

It’s Probably Nothing But We Thought We Better Mention it

Before we get to the Blip, which we see here in a whole new light, let’s talk about Ana. While there’s no Black Widow called Ana in the comics, there is a Black Widow character who was a neighbor of Natasha. While it seems like it might be a coincidence, she was a beaten woman who struggled under the brutality of her husband. And when Yelena and Sonya go to save her they state that they thought she was the prisoner of an abusive rich man. So it seems like a nod.

It’s not just Ana either. There’s also a potential Secret Empire connection here too as Sonya could be a reference to a character with the same name who was part of that villainous organization. Hawkeye has taken a lot of joy so far in bringing in vital character names—like the Death-Throws being repurposed as the LARPers—in new guises, so we had to include this one too.

What It’s Like to Be Blipped

When we see Yelena get blipped, she turns to dust as we’ve seen many times before. But what’s completely new and cool here is that we see her come back. For those who’ve been blipped it was mere seconds and they were back almost instantly. Or at least that’s how it felt to them. As we rejoin Yelena in Ana’s apartment, we’re back in the present and so is Yelena.

Avengers No More

You know how we love to look into an outrageous number here at Nerdist and our first one appears in Kate’s apartment. As she and Yelena have a little tête-à-tête about macaroni, we see that a clock in the background is at 5:03. That’s actually a really important number in Avengers canon. Why? Well, Avengers #503 was the last issue of the ongoing title before a relaunch. See, at the end of that series the Avengers were Disassembled… just like they are in the MCU. Fun!

“My Daddy Says It’s Good for You”

As Yelena tries to feed Kate, she references her dad, the Red Guardian. Apparently he says that mac and cheese is good for you, which… sure! It’s also a little nod to Black Widow, where baby Yelena asks for mac and cheese for dinner. Also, is anyone else sensing some chemistry between Yelena and Kate? Could this be the MCU’s newest queer ship? We’re here for it.

Is Jack a Good Guy?

Sorry but it seems incredibly easy for Eleanor to prove Jack is a criminal. As he’s arrested he promises he’ll clear his name and that he’s been framed… and we believe him. Could Eleanor have used her handsome beau to hide her dodgy dealings? By the end of the episode we’ll be about 100% sure that is definitely the case! How could she?!

R.I.P. Natasha

One of the unexpected things that Hawkeye has been most concerned about is the legacy of Black Widow. That comes into play even more here as Yelena begins to set Kate straight about the reality of who saved the world. Once again, this is about memorializing Natasha and reminding us all of Clint’s violent past as Ronin. That also continues as Clint goes to the Avengers Memorial to talk to his dead best friend.

The Battle of New York Memorial

“On this site in 2012 during the Battle of New York, the Avengers first assembled. Steve Rogers, Tony Stark, Thor Odinson, Bruce Banner, Natasha Romanoff, Clint Barton.” It’s also numbered as NYC Historical-Cultural Monument 325. If you’re wondering what Avengers issue that could correspond to, then strap in, you’re in for a ride. The 1990 issue #325 features a party thrown by Sersi at Avengers Mansion. A nefarious set of villains brainwashes the service staff to kill the heroes and their guests. Maybe this is foreshadowing for Eleanor’s Christmas party, but it also could be a random number. Either way, check out this absolutely bonkers ’80s issue.

Kate’s Corkboard

We finally get a confirmation of the year here: it’s 2024. That’s confirmed by the invite to Kate’s mom’s Christmas party. There’s also some names like Missy Parker, a set decorator on Hawkeye and The Avengers. Love the crew shout-outs these shows build in so well.

Oh No, Not the Big Guy

Clint calls Laura and quickly mentions “the big guy” again. Clint seems to think that if he doesn’t end the battle tonight then the “big guy” is going to get involved. This definitely seems like another Kingpin nod, but why would he have anything to do with Ronin? Unless Ronin was actually working with or for Kingpin. That would line up with Kingpin being the one behind Maya’s dad’s death like he is in the comics. But it would add more questions to the Ronin persona, seeing as Kingpin is the most famous crime boss in New York. Another more simple option could be Nick Fury getting involved with the watch being lost if Laura was a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. But why would Clint be scared of him? We think this is definitely another Kingpin tease.

“I’ll Always Understand Better Than Anyone Ever Could”

The reason for Clint calling Laura is he now thinks he has to kill someone else. It seems like he’s planning to kill Maya, which please don’t do that. Laura shockingly supports his vague murder insinuations, and then after another mention of the watch says “I’ll always understand better than anyone ever could.” Laura! That sounds like something an assassin would say. Basically, this definitely supports our theory that Laura has a shady violent past.

The Truth Behind Echo’s Trauma

During another epic fight sequence in which Alaqua Cox once again cements herself as an action star, a horrible truth comes out. According to Clint, her father’s death was ordered by her boss who tipped off Ronin. And it was done via one of his lackeys. Maya begins to put two and two together when she realizes that Kazi wasn’t there the night of Ronin’s attack. But could it really be her best friend and her father’s number two? It would be a heartbreaking reveal if so.

KINGPIN!!??!!!???

Ahhh, it finally happened. The man that we’ve been worried about the whole time—even earlier in this piece—has finally arrived. The Kingpin is here. Played by none other than the icon, the legend Vincent D’Onofrio. Yes, the Netflix Marvel TV shows are now canon and Kingpin is our connector. The worst part is that the reason we see him is through a text from Yelena. She claims that Eleanor was the one who hired her to kill Clint. Sending a photo as proof, Kate asks Clint who the man is in the picture with her mother and of course… It’s Kingpin! Wow.

Thanking Those All Important Creators

Only one new name this week and it’s John Romita Sr., the co-creator of Kingpin alongside Stan Lee, who’s already thanked for his co-creation of Hawkeye.

The credits also confirm a couple of things: Kingpin is being played by D’Onofrio which we thought, but the photo was blurry so nice to get that confirmation. And this week we met Detective Rivera who is another cop character from the Kelly Thompson and Leonardo Romero run. She first appeared in Hawkeye #2 from 2017.

The post Every Easter Egg from HAWKEYE Episode Five appeared first on Nerdist.

After two evocative teasers that were heavy on mood and light on plot specifics, Netflix and Marvel TV have released the final, full trailer for Daredevil’s upcoming third season. This one is filled with plot points—some are even pretty spoilery. So watch the new trailer down below, along with the official season three synopsis, and then we’ll unpack what we just saw.

Missing for months, Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) reemerges a broken man, putting into question his future as both vigilante Daredevil and lawyer Matthew Murdock. But  when his archenemy Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) is released from prison, Matt must choose between hiding from the world or embracing his destiny as a hero. This trailer gives us one doozy of a spoiler. Wilson Fisk, a.k.a. the Kingpin, strikes some kind of plea deal and gets released from prison. And it seems he has one thing on his mind: revenge on the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen. We also see Fisk in his signature white suit from the comics, which is a nice touch for fans of the original Marvel Comics.Fisk is seemingly going to go out of his way to discredit Daredevil in the public eye, and apparently hires someone to impersonate him and commit various crimes. So our faux Daredevil will be wearing the classic red costume, while Matt Murdock will be in his season one black outfit once again. Oh, and we’re getting what looks to be like another epic hallway fight. Can’t have a Marvel Netflix show without one of those each season.Marvel’s Daredevil season three launches worldwide on Netflix on October 19.Are you as excited as we are for Daredevil’s long awaited return? Be sure to let us know down below in the comments.
