Report: Bullseye to Return in MCU Daredevil Disney+ Series
A recent report from ComicBook.com notes that Wilson Bethel’s Benjamin Poindexter, better known as Bullseye, will be making his return in the upcoming Disney+ series.
Bethel appeared in the third season of the Daredevil Netflix series as Poindexter, with the finale hinting that he would become the iconic Daredevil villain in the future. ComicBook notes that it’s unclear how extensive his role will be, but Bullseye will have a role in some capacity.
Initially announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2022 by Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, Daredevil: Born Again will see Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio reprise their roles from the Netflix series as Matt Murdock/Daredevil and Fisk.
Both characters have also appeared in the MCU already, with Cox’s Daredevil appearing in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, and D’Onofrio appearing as Fisk in both Hawkeye and Echo.
In October, it was reported that Daredevil: Born Again was undergoing a “significant creative reboot” after the production break that came from the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Head writers Chris Ord and Matt Corman were quietly taken off the project alongside the series’ directors, while certain scenes and episodes that were already finished will be retained with further serialized elements added.
Both Daredevil and Kingpin made their Marvel Cinematic Universe debuts in 2021. Kingpin guest-starred in the Disney+ Hawkeye series, and Matt Murdock briefly appeared in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Charlie Cox also guest-starred in two episodes of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, where he showed off a lighter side of the hero.
