Bullseye’s Fate and the Lingering Mystery
When Daredevil concluded in 2018, after the show’s cancelation was announced, the finale left a lingering mystery that got under many fans’ skin. However, Daredevil: Born Again’s trailer hints at the outcome.
Daredevil was a groundbreaking series for Marvel that launched on Netflix in 2015. At that point, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) was well under way, and the second Avengers movie was just around the corner. The show was intense, action-packed, and the casting for characters like Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk was unparalleled.
However, when the show was canceled in 2018, it really soured the third season experience. Watching as Daredevil fights an all-time great villain like Benjamin Poindexter, aka Bullseye, was just less meaningful, since the show couldn’t properly conclude its story.
Bullseye’s future was hanging in the balance in Daredevil. Poindexter was recruited by Fisk to impersonate Daredevil and ruin the vigilante’s reputation. However, Poindexter was no pushover. As an army vet, and an ex-FBI agent, he was a tough and resilient individual who believed in doing the right thing.
Despite this, Fisk manipulated him and forced him to do his bidding, which made Poindexter increasingly frustrated. At one point, Poindexter makes a threat on Fisk’s beloved Vanessa, in an effort to push him back and free himself from Fisk’s control, but Fisk lashes out brutally.
With the full force of his violent rage, Fisk picked Poindexter up like he was nothing, and charged him into a wall. This resulted in Poindexter’s spine snapping, causing the man to become paralyzed and unable to move any part of his body due to that irreversible damage.
But of course, Poindexter was supposed to return later as the fully fledged villain, Bullseye, which was teased in the Daredevil season 3 finale, only to become a lingering cliffhanger with seemingly no solution.
The Impact of the Show’s Cancellation on the Story
The cancellation of Daredevil in 2018 really soured the third season experience. Watching as Daredevil fights an all-time great villain like Benjamin Poindexter, aka Bullseye, was just less meaningful, since the show couldn’t properly conclude its story.
However, with Daredevil: Born Again increasingly appearing to follow on from the events of the original series, I’m looking back at Daredevil in a whole new light.
Daredevil: Born Again’s Connection to the Original Series
Following the Events of the Original Show
Daredevil: Born Again’s trailer unpacks a lot about what to expect from the new series, and includes several returning faces from the original run, including Poindexter.
And interestingly, Poindexter is up and walking with no apparent aids. This would indicate that the experimental surgery that Poindexter underwent was successful, and he has now had his spine repaired with the aid of rare and powerful metals.
But it does a lot more than simply reveal his survival, which was always likely to be the case. It also reveals that Poindexter is in prison, and he is seen walking with a large scar on his right cheek, which indicates he has recently gotten into a brawl, but clearly came away with very little damage.
Implications for the Future of the Character
All of this considered, it certainly appears that Bullseye is joining the narrative in Daredevil: Born Again, and with his allegiance to Kingpin severed, he will prove an incredibly potent threat to both the new Mayor, and Matt Murdock in the first outing of these characters together in more than 6 years.
The Future of Daredevil: Born Again and the MCU
Multi-Season Plans and Character Development
While most Marvel Studios series have only had one season, that is about to change. Marvel has made internal changes to its TV development, and the studio is now looking at more multi-season shows, with Daredevil: Born Again being one of them.
With season 1 releasing in March, season 2 is already set to film throughout the year. Based on how successful Netflix’s Daredevil was and Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock continues to be, I could easily see Born Again running for 5–7 seasons while the character jumps from the show to other projects and back for the next decade.
Bullseye’s MCU Origin and Connection to Other 2025 Marvel Projects
The implications of Poindexter’s prison appearance are significant. It seems that Bullseye’s MCU origin is finally being explored, and it could have major connections to other 2025 Marvel projects.
The potential for Bullseye to join the narrative is massive, and it will be exciting to see how his character develops in the MCU.
