Charlie Cox Talks DAREDEVIL Season Two, THE DEFENDERS, 'Bullseye', 'Elektra', And More

Empire Online recently caught up with Charlie Cox and asked the British actor if he knows anything about what's to come in the recently announced second season of Marvel and Netflix's Daredevil. As you might imagine, he wasn't willing to give away too much, but did have this to say about what - and more importantly who - he hopes to see. "Based on the show we’ve created, which is very grounded in reality, I’d like to see Punisher maybe show up, a little bit of Elektra maybe. I wouldn’t mind Black Widow making an appearance, and you can’t think about Daredevil for too long without thinking of Bullseye. I don’t know when or if or how that would happen, but it’d be cool if it did." That's a lot of great characters, and all but Black Widow are probably very real possibilities. After all, Scarlett Johansson's contract doesn't extend to the small screen, and the budget conscious Marvel might not be keen on paying her for a cameo in the Netflix series! 

Regardless, Cox then went on to reveal when the second season of Daredevil will start shooting and how he believes the return of the show will impact plans for the other solo series' and The Defenders. "We’ll begin shooting in the second half of the year. It’ll be the same timeline as the last show, so season two will come out about this time next year. Again, I’m imagining all this, but there’ll probably do Iron Fist or Luke Cage at the same time, followed by the other one [of the two] in the first half of 2016 and then maybe Defenders in the second half of 2016 or the beginning of 2017." Rumour has it that Daredevil and his fellow street level heroes will appear in Avengers: Infinity War, so the next few years are looking very busy indeed for Charlie Cox...

Yes. It's time to do the Punisher right. Frank makes DD his bitch a few times during Ennis' run. It'd be interesting to see if they do that in the show.

They should have the Hulk quit the Avengers & start up The Defenders with Doctor Strange and recruit Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Jessica Jones, Hellcat, and the rest.

I have no problem with the Black Widow/Hulk possibility but man do I wish they didn't explore it and instead explored BW and Daredevil. Would have been awesome. Doubt Scarlett would be down anyway. Luckily I like Claire and Matt too. They better give her more screen time.

Steven DeKnight kind of hinted he may be doing some sort of dark series when the sun goes down (Blade?), from one if his tweets.

I think Daredevil is one of the best comic book adaptations ever brought to the screen, I loved it so much! I can't wait to see what they'll bring in season 2!

bring back Stevenson as Castle. who cares if he plays Volstagg, as if anyone will notice him out of the fat suit.
even though a lot of peeps threw shade on War Zone, I thought it was great and Stevenson's depiction in that movie looked super close to the War Journal Castle. The director was the one who tainted the movie with all the comic panel colors.

also he nailed that assclown parkour dick with a rocket launcher.

Can't wait to see this. Punisher would be best set for a Netflix series. Hopefully with DeKnight's departure this show keeps the dark and gritty tone.

Daredevil gave me so much hope in Marvel television, and their Defenders stuff on Netflix will be amazing. Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones and Iron Fist deserve to be in the films way more than anyone on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Add in the likes of Punisher, Elektra and whoever appears down the line in Infinity War and it's going to be a beautiful sight.

Punisher for season 2. That needs to happen first and foremost.

Yes please! Fisk probably wont be the main antagonist of season 2, but I dont see any reason why he cant make a few power plays within prison to make things complicated.

Cox and I have the same vision for the second season of the show.

Again, I'd love to see:
-3-episode Punisher arc. Although Castle has good intensions, he acts as a foil to DD, showing him how bad he could get if he doesn't control his inner devil.
-Elektra. I'd like her to appear early and get great development. Then end the season with her death at the hands of Bullseye.
-Bullseye should be the breakout villain of season 2 (while Fisk operates from Prison). Have a real grounded, focused assassin. None of that foolish shit we saw in the movie.
-Fisk in prison. This writes itself. Going to be so good.
-The Hand causing all kinds of trouble.
-More hints to what's to come in Iron Fist and The Defenders (Black Sky, Crane Mother, etc.)

I'd love to see Fisk working things from prison, then finally breaking out and calling himself the Kingpin.

Best show, in my opinion. Cox was ideal in the role. Couldn't ask for better casting.

1. More Stick
2. Elaboration on "the Chaste", the coming "war" and why Matt was chosen
3. Fisk in prison gaining power and Vanessa coping with losing him (maybe she gains power in Italy)
4. The Hand sending Elektra to investigate and rectify the Nobu situation (she runs into Matt after so many years)
5. New suit; its been a year timeline wise so upgrades are expected. Marvel usually upgrades suits
6. Owlsley's son coming to look into his dad's death
7. A new and major case for Nelson and Murdock that coincides with Matt's DD activities (maybe they take on a client named Mary who has certain "personality" issues and is involved in a crime or)
8. Typhoid Mary origins
9. Bullseye tease for season 3 ( wanna save him, get some buildup)
10. STILT MAN AHAHAHAHAHAHA

Maya's father was secretly a mob enforcer working for the Kingpin. One day he was murdered under the Kingpin's orders. He reached out to Maya, leaving a bloody hand print on her face. She was taken in by Fisk, who was impressed with her talents and had sent her to the best schools money could buy. As a result, she became very talented in many artistic fields.Fisk used her in one of his plots to destroy Daredevil. First, he arranged for Matt to meet her, knowing Matt was lonely after the recent death of Karen Page. Then he tricked Maya, by convincing her that Daredevil killed her father. Maya created the identity of Echo (based on her ability to copy motion she sees) SUCH A COOL ABILITY

MAYA LOPEZ AKA ECHO PLEASE!!!!
She'd be a cool contrast to the blind Matt and shes a badass character.
