RUMOR: DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN Season 3 Villain Revealed; X-MEN Filming Start Date

RUMOR: DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN Season 3 Villain Revealed; X-MEN Filming Start Date

According to some new MCU rumours, Daredevil: Born Again will have at least one villain in common with Spider-Man: Brand New Day. We also have an update on the X-Men reboot.

The first trailer for Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 was released earlier today, and with Season 3 already in the works, it's hard not to wonder what Marvel Studios' long-term plans are for the Man Without Fear. 

Whether there's another season's worth of mileage in the hero's war with Mayor Wilson Fisk is up for debate, and one popular theory is that Season 2 will end with Matt Murdock behind bars (explaining why Daredevil isn't part of Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Avengers: Doomsday). 

A leaked trailer for the web-slinger's next movie has confirmed plans for the wall-crawler to square off with ninja assassins, The Hand, and Daniel Richtman is today reporting that the villains are also set to appear in Daredevil: Born Again Season 3. It's unclear whether they'll be the main threat faced by Daredevil, but chances are Marvel Studios will do a better job with The Hand than Netflix.

Season 4 hasn't been greenlit as we write this, but Kevin Feige can expect sizeable backlash if he doesn't include Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock in Spider-Man 5

The insider is also reporting that the plan is to shoot Jake Schreier's X-Men reboot when Avengers: Secret Wars wraps. If accurate, that should mean we'll start getting casting news before 2026 is over. 

Back to Spidey for a second, and during a recent interview, Spider-Man: Brand New Day helmer Destin Daniel Cretton said, "I am really excited for everybody to see Tom Holland in this movie because he killed it. His performance is incredible. He went to places that I think people and fans and just anybody who watches the movie, I think, will feel very connected to the emotions that we’re exploring." 

Across eight gripping episodes of Daredevil: Born Again, survival, resistance and redemption collide as the battle for the soul of New York begins. In Season 2, Mayor Wilson Fisk crushes New York City underfoot as he hunts down public enemy number one, the Hell’s Kitchen vigilante known as Daredevil.

But beneath the horned mask, Matt Murdock will try to fight back from the shadows to tear down the Kingpin’s corrupt empire and redeem his home. Resist. Rebel. Rebuild.

Created by Dario Scardapane, Chris Ord and Matt Corman, Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 stars Charlie Cox as the titular masked vigilante (aka Matt Murdock) and Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk.

Returning to the series are Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page, Ayelet Zurer as Vanessa Fisk, Wilson Bethel as Benjamin Poindexter/Bullseye and Margarita Levieva as Heather Glenn. This season also marks the long-awaited return of Krysten Ritter as fan-favorite Jessica Jones and introduces Matthew Lillard as the mysterious Mr. Charles.

Daredevil: Born Again returns to Disney+ on March 24.

We should be getting casting news soon for the X-Men and some of us still think Sadie Sink is Jean Grey. I understand the fancast but she’s definitely NOT Jean Grey… from the 616 universe or any other one.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 1/27/2026, 3:36 PM
@WruceBayne - I don’t think so either but if so then I could see her as Jean tbh…

She’s a good actress and has the range to play the character imo!!.
WruceBayne
WruceBayne - 1/27/2026, 3:43 PM
@TheVisionary25 - she’s definitely a good actress. Her talent is definitely NOT what’s in question. I’m basing my comment on the information that we do have, which isn’t a lot but her character definitely doesn’t say “Jean Grey” to me.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 1/27/2026, 4:01 PM
@WruceBayne - true but she could be more akin to Ultimate Jean who was more hard edged.

@WruceBayne - I still think she is playing Rachel Summers. My working theory is Doom lost his kid, so now he will use other children to build war world. Plus some revenge on Steve Rogers using his kid.
McMurdo
McMurdo - 1/27/2026, 4:42 PM
@WruceBayne - yeah if she is cast as Jean we are cooked. the director/writer choices are already poverty level but you'd hope they could at least get the casting right.
McMurdo
McMurdo - 1/27/2026, 4:43 PM
@Joker666 - This i can buy. seems to smart for Kevin Feige though IMO.
WruceBayne
WruceBayne - 1/27/2026, 5:18 PM
@Joker666 - going straight to Rachel Summers seems like a stretch to me, especially since we don’t have a Scott or definitive Jean yet.
I definitely think it’s something to her character and that’s the reason her name is kept under wraps but I don’t think she’s a Summers in any type of capacity.
WruceBayne
WruceBayne - 1/27/2026, 5:34 PM
@McMurdo - if I’m wrong and she is playing Jean, I think Sink will do just fine in the role.
WruceBayne
WruceBayne - 1/27/2026, 5:40 PM
@TheVisionary25 - and since we’re speaking on the Summers lineage, was it ever established that Cable is actually Nathaniel Summers or even a mutant in Deadpool 2? He didn’t exhibit any mutant powers and he a robotic arm but it wasn’t the techno-virus that he suffers from in the comics.
TheRevelation
TheRevelation - 1/27/2026, 6:23 PM
@Joker666 - It would be a golden opportunity to bring back both Thanos and Cable if true, but sadly I doubt it goes that route.
TheRevelation
TheRevelation - 1/27/2026, 6:25 PM
@WruceBayne - The arm manifests itself in various iterations across comics, so while it may not have looked technoorganic it may well have been. You're right, I also think Brolin's Cable was rather ambiguous in terms of who he was and his origins.
Joker666
Joker666 - 1/27/2026, 7:03 PM
@WruceBayne - In theory, she is Scott and Jeans daughter from the Foxverse.

regmovieguy - 1/27/2026, 7:10 PM
@WruceBayne

She’s absolutely going to be Jean Grey. She seems talented enough, my only question is whether they can write a good enough reason for her to be in a Spider-Man movie.
WruceBayne
WruceBayne - 1/27/2026, 7:16 PM
@Joker666 - ok, that works.
WruceBayne
WruceBayne - 1/27/2026, 7:22 PM
@regmovieguy - well, I’ve heard one theory that they need a telepath to bring down a rampaging hulk(this is unconfirmed, of course). So I guess that’s a way to “shoehorn” her into the movie and give her something to do.
Other than that, I can’t think of any other reason on why Jean Grey would debut in a Spider-man movie.

See , it’s shit like this that makes me not trust these scoopers being true & authentic because I feel like this is pretty obvious news.

Anyway in regards to the Hand being in DD BA S3 , I wouldn’t mind them being in that as long as they are done better then how Netflix did them which I wasn’t a big fan of tbh…

I do hope they aren’t the main villains though and that we actually start digging into Matt’s other rogues such as Mr Fear , The Owl etc!!.

@Huttsbane - he probably blocked you for some miniscule shade you did or didn't throw his way. Maybe he's blocked everyone on the site and he just writes articles for his own reading material while taking his morning steamer!
