Wilson Bethel is best known for portraying Bullseye in the Netflix Daredevil series. He has now confirmed that his character will officially return in Daredevil: Born Again Season 3 (2027). Recently, he shared the exciting news during SpaceCon in San Antonio (via Nerdtropolis). Furthermore, he revealed that the upcoming season will include even more of the fan-favorite villain.
Daredevil: Born Again Star Confirms Bullseye’s Return
Bethel enthusiastically shared the exciting news with fans during the event, saying:
“As some of you might know, we’ve already [got] picked up for another new season that we will start doing next year. We’ll have more Bullseye on the way, Kingpin, and all the rest.”
This confirmation shows that Bullseye survives Season 2 and continues his rise as one of the MCU’s most dangerous street-level villains. Moreover, his return in Season 3 may help bridge the gap between Marvel’s Netflix past and its new Disney+ future.
Exploring Bullseye’s Mindset in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2
Additionally, Bethel also hinted that Season 2 will explore Bullseye’s disturbing psychological state in greater depth. He explained:
“There are a whole new avenues of Dex’s interesting dynamic, messed up psyche, that we get to explore and that’s some really, really fun stuff for Bullseye and Dex.”
This revelation suggests a more character-focused approach that explores Dex Poindexter’s trauma and motivations. Furthermore, examining his fragile mental balance will help humanize him while making his transformation into Bullseye even more chilling.
This deeper look into Bullseye’s psychology could set him apart from typical MCU villains. Moreover, it may help him become a standout presence in Marvel’s Phase 6 lineup.
Bigger Fights and Better Action
In addition to expanding Bullseye’s backstory, Bethel revealed that Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 will feature some of the most intense and spectacular fight scenes in the series. He said:
“I think, honestly, some of the best action sequences of the whole show are coming in the new season that will be out in March. I think the coolest Bullseye fight sequence that we have yet to see on the show is part of this season.”
Fans can expect an exciting combination of brutal, fast-paced combat and emotional storytelling. Furthermore, the dynamic between Daredevil and Bullseye is set to evolve even further, ultimately leading to what could be their most iconic showdown yet.
Marvel is reportedly investing more time and resources into practical stunts and choreography. As a result, Born Again could set a new standard for action in future Disney+ Marvel series. Furthermore, this renewed focus on realism may deliver fight scenes that feel more grounded and emotionally impactful.
The Future of Daredevil: Born Again
Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again will officially premiere on Disney+ in March 2026. In this chapter, the storyline follows Matt Murdock’s mission to unite vigilantes and fight back against Mayor Wilson Fisk’s anti-hero task force. Ultimately, this arc sets the stage for even higher stakes and darker conflicts in Season 3.
The returning cast features Charlie Cox as Daredevil, Vincent D’Onofrio as Kingpin, Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page, Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones, Jon Bernthal as Punisher, and Michael Gandolfini. Together, this powerful ensemble strengthens Marvel’s street-level storytelling, adding a darker and more grounded tone to the MCU. Meanwhile, Bethel’s confirmed return ensures that Bullseye remains an unpredictable and dangerous element moving forward. In addition, his survival could influence future crossovers or even connect to larger MCU projects in Phase 6 and beyond.
Bullseye’s return highlights Marvel’s effort to merge its Netflix legacy with the current MCU timeline. It brings back fan-favorite characters like Daredevil and Kingpin while expanding its street-level stories. Moreover, as the MCU develops its “Street-Level Saga” alongside the Multiverse, Bullseye may become central to future projects such as Spider-Man, Echo, or the rumored Midnight Sons. Ultimately, Wilson Bethel’s comeback adds nostalgia, intense action, and exciting new storytelling possibilities when Daredevil: Born Again returns.
