Stephen Rider Joins The Cast Of DAREDEVIL's Second Season In Key Recurring Role
Elektra and The Punisher have already been added to the second season of Daredevil, but what about Bullseye? Well, that's not who Stephen Rider will be playing when the show returns to Netflix next year, but he is a character from the comics. Hit the jump to find out who...
We've had a lot of Luke Cage casting news this week, but Daredevil - which is currently shooting in New York - has also added another actor today. That's Stephen Rider (Lee Daniels' The Butler), and he's set to play Blake Tower in season two of the Netflix series. Who? Well, Deadline describes him as a "District Attorney for New York City who helps Charlie Cox’s Daredevil — a lawyer in his civilian identity as Matt Murdock — with information to help track down and capture criminals." In the comics, he's been involved with stories involving Captain America, Daredevil, Misty Knight, and She-Hulk, but nothing major. That will obviously give the showrunners a lot of creative freedom with what they do with his character. This casting also seems to indicate that season two of Daredevil will focus more on Matt's legal career, something which was largely missing from the first batch of episodes. Be sure to let us know your thoughts on this casting in the usual place.
