Ahead of tonight's new episode of Daredevil: Born Again, we have a new rumor relating to the currently-shooting second season.
If you haven't been keeping up with previous rumors and recent set photos, spoilers will follow.
At this stage in the show, Mayor Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio) has already made his feelings about costumed vigilante's very clear (he may even have been the one who orchestrated the murder of Hector Ayala in episode 3), but it seems the former(?) Kingpin of Crime will take his crusade to a whole new level by putting his own anti-vigilante task force together at some point.
Who this crew will consist of remains to be seen (though there are more than enough corrupt NYPD officers out there), but it sounds like the Man Without Fear (Charlie Cox) will have a response.
According to Daniel Richtman, season 2 of Born Again will "focus on him recruiting a team to take on Fisk's anti-vigilante task force."
Will The Defenders reform? We have heard that at least one other member will appear in season 2, but we can't see the exact same line-up (Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones and Iron Fist) making up this new team. The likes of Elektra, Misty Knight and Colleen Wing are also possibilities, but this would give Marvel the perfect opportunity to introduce some new street-level heroes we haven't seen in live-action before now.
We may have a better idea of what to expect after tonight's fourth episode, so be sure to check back for over coverage later tonight.
