Cameras have reportedly started rolling on Daredevil: Born Again season 2 in New York today and Deadline has just shared some big casting news for the show.
The trade reveals that Scream, Scooby-Doo, and Five Nights at Freddy's star Matthew Lillard is the first major addition to Daredevil: Born Again's second season ahead of next week's two-episode premiere.
There's no word on who the screen icon will play in the series and, honestly, it could be anyone. However, given the adult tone of this revival, we'd anticipate seeing a different side of Lillard (while he's fondly remembered as Shaggy, the actor has shown his darker side on screen plenty on several occasions).
While more actors may be added to the Daredevil: Born Again cast in the coming weeks, they've likely already signed up for the series and Marvel Studios may choose not to reveal everyone we'll get to see...including certain Defenders rumoured to appear.
We've had the good fortune to chat with Lillard a couple of times over the past few years. You can check out our latest conversation with the actor by clicking here.
And, while we have you, below is another new TV spot for Daredevil: Born Again along with our reaction to the entire 9-episode first season.
In Marvel Television's Daredevil: Born Again, Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), a blind lawyer with heightened abilities is fighting for justice through his bustling law firm, while former mob boss Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio) pursues his own political endeavors in New York.
