Jason Statham Eyed For 'Bullseye' In DAREDEVIL; 'Mysterio' And More Expected To Appear
For years, fans have been saying that Jason Statham would make a great Bullseye, and it appears as if Marvel have been listening! The Spy star has apparently been talking to them about playing the assassin, while you won't believe which other bad guys are expected to appear...
Latino-Review reports that Jason Statham (Furious 7) is being eyed to play Bullseye in the second season of Daredevil. They make it clear that this is far from a done deal right now, but add that he's been spotted meeting with Marvel after taking a break from the press tour for Spy. Both Bullseye and Elektra are expected to show up when the series returns to Netflix, so this makes a lot of sense. Statham has never shown much interest in playing a superhero, but this would obviously be a very different type of villain, and someone he would actually be pretty well suited to playing!
The site goes on to mention that Mr Fear is expected to also show up in season two, but one of the biggest surprises has to be the fact that Spider-Man villain Mysterio is also being lined up to appear. He obviously played a key role in the comic books when he employed Bullseye to kill Karen Page in a bid to destroy Matt Murdock's life, but it's kind of surprising that this is where we'll first see Quentin Beck. You can't help but wonder if this means that Spider-Man is also going to show up...
