Ahead of the two-episode premiere of Daredevil: Born Again next week, a new rumor doing the rounds online points to the return of two key characters for the currently in-production second season.
Possible spoilers follow.
According to MTTSH, both Frank Castle/The Punisher (Jon Bernthal) and Benjamin "Dex" Poindexter/Bullseye (Wilson Bethel) will be back for season 2 of Born Again.
Previous rumors have claimed that the Man Without Fear taking revenge on Bullseye by killing the assassin is the event that leads to him hanging up the costume. Is it possible that Matt - and the viewers - will simply believe Dex is dead, only for him to return later on?
As for Castle, his return wouldn't exactly be a surprise, especially following the recent news that the ultra-violent vigilante will be getting his own Disney+ Special Presentation in 2026.
Marvel Studios' Head of Streaming, Brad Winderbaum, recently confirmed that Born Again season 2 will also be with us at some point next year.
That is the plan," said Winderbaum when asked if the show will eventually become an annual release during an interview with Screen Rant. "Season 2 will come out next year, and then hopefully season 3 and season infinity after that. I think this world is extremely rich, and there are many stories to be told on the streets of New York. It's certainly something very fundamental to Marvel, going back to the earliest days of publishing with Stan and Jack and Steve and the original Marvel bullpen. It's New York through New York, and the fact that we're able to shoot here and tell a story about New York made by New Yorkers is just fundamental to the series."

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.
