Work is underway on Daredevil: Born Again season 2 in New York. We've yet to see anything too revealing, but a new shot of a poster displayed on the city's streets doesn't bode well for the Big Apple's vigilantes.
Alongside a stern shot of Vincent D'Onofrio's Mayor Wilson Fisk, the words "Fisk" and "Making NYC Safe" are displayed alongside a phone number: 555-NOMASKS.
Looking to the comic books for clues, it seems likely that the Kingpin of Crime has successfully outlawed vigilantes in New York and is now encouraging people to report any masked do-gooders they see in action. This might explain why Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock was recently seen attempting to keep a low profile.
Fisk clamping down on vigilantes isn't good news for the MCU's street-level superheroes, though there aren't really that many of them beyond the likes of Daredevil and Spider-Man. Does this mean Fisk has similarly clamped down on the heroes who typically assemble as The Avengers? Hopefully, answers are coming.
"I've read the same amount as Charlie [Cox], six, and I love where it's going," D'Onofrio recently said of Daredevil: Born Again season 2. "It's going to be quite something by the end of it, by the end of the next season. By the end of Season 2, there's something quite amazing I feel is going to happen. We've both talked to Dario about the other half of it, but we're not completely clear on it."
"We haven't read the scripts yet, but they're going to be delivered, and we're going to read them. But I do have an idea of some of the details of what's going to happen midway through and past, and it's intense. It's quite something. Like Charlie just said, I wouldn't say that unless I felt it."
"It's going to be a lot of work. We have a lot of work ahead of us," the Kingpin actor continued. "It's going to be emotional and full of physical altercations. [Laughs] I don't know what to say, but it's going to be a crazy season."
