The second season of Daredevil: Born Again is set to premiere later tonight on Disney+, and the Man Without Fear's acclaimed series has already been confirmed to return for at least one more season.
The likes of Elektra (Elodie Yung), Iron Fist (Finn Jones) and Luke Cage (Mike Colter) have been rumored to reprise their Netflix series roles for season 3, but we now have word on a mysterious new character referred to only as "Junior" in the casting report.
According to scooper Daniel Richtman, Marvel is currently searching for a male actor of at least 18 years of age "to play a teenager, Latino and/or Black. Works with his father on a fishing boat. Character speaks English and either Spanish, Portuguese, or Haitian Creole in scenes - please submit Actors who speak either Spanish, Portuguese, or Haitian Creole."
There's some wild speculation online that this could turn out to be Miles Morales, but even if Marvel Studios was planning to introduce a new Spider-Man to the MCU (and it is probably only a matter of time), rights issues would likely prevent him from showing up on the small screen.
While this "Junior" could turn out to be a character from the comics, he's just as likely to have been created for the show. The fact that he works on a fishing boat could tie in to Wilson Fisk's plans for the Red Hook docks.
