Matt Murdock is set to face even more battles and enemies, as showrunner Dario Scardapane teases several new villains in Daredevil: Born Again Season 3.
While Season 2 has yet to conclude–with one episode still left before the finale–Marvel Studios is already reportedly developing Season 3.
So, who could be Matt Murdock and the other vigilantes’ next enemies in Daredevil: Born Again Season 3?
Will there be More Villains in Daredevil: Born Again Season 3?
Sure, Wilson Fisk, aka Kingpin, remains the main antagonist of Daredevil: Born Again.
But there is also a slew of other enemies Matt and the rest of the vigilantes face on the sidelines, including Muse, Vanessa Fisk, The Hand, Nobu Yoshioka, Madame Gao, James Wesley, Elektra, and Dex Poindexter (Bullseye).
However, these won’t be the last of the antagonists appearing in the series. In fact, more are still on the way.
“We’ve got a few more people heading your way,” Scardapane confirmed to The Direct.
For starters, Daredevil: Born Again Season 1 introduced a strong lineup of villains led by Fisk. Vanessa’s turn toward a more villainous path was also shown, as she took control of Fisk’s criminal empire and was involved in the murder of Foggy Nelson.
Bullseye targeted both the New York City mayor and Vanessa, while Muse emerged as a serial killer who set his sights on Heather Glenn.
In Season 2, Mr. Charles was introduced and revealed to have a connection with Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, making the Anti-Vigilante Task Force a dangerous new group of foes. Buck Cashman also emerged as Fisk’s ruthless right-hand man.
Who are the New Villains in Daredevil: Born Again Season 3?
As Fisk’s regime may come to an end in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, a new roster of villains could be introduced in Season 3 to challenge Matt Murdock after he saves the city from its corrupt mayor.
One of these villains, reportedly confirmed through leaked set photos, is Lady Muse.
There are also theories suggesting this mysterious foe could actually be Heather Glenn wearing a mask, tied to her growing fascination with Muse in Season 2.
The Hand’s return in Spider-Man: Brand New Day also hints at their reemergence in Daredevil: Born Again Season 3.
Adding to this is the potential return of the Defenders to the Disney+ series after their Netflix run, which further supports The Hand’s reappearance.
In fact, previous reports have already teased a major comeback, with the group said to be more formidable than ever.
With The Hand’s comeback, it is also possible that Elektra will appear in the third season, potentially seeking redemption as part of Matt’s journey.
Other villains who may emerge in the next installment include Mr. Charles and Val, who could pose a growing threat to the vigilantes amid the power vacuum left in New York following Fisk’s downfall.
The final episode of Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 airs on Tuesday, May 5.
