The upcoming third season of Marvel’s Daredevil is definitely a highly anticipated one, especially after the cliffhanger ending of The Defenders. We also know that Wilson Fisk aka The Kingpin will return, but it might be a little different than the character we’re used to – according to Vincent D’Onofrio.
In a recent interview with Collider, D’Onofrio said:
“It’s hard to top the first season, with Steven DeKnight’s writing, but Erik Oleson (the new showrunner) is a very good writer. I’ve shot some pretty cool scenes, so far. It’s different, but it’s very Fisk. It’s still very emotional. The character is evolving. His whole deal is based on emotion, so we’re taking him down that role further.
There are new focuses and new goals. That’s all I can say. If it was up to me, I would go on and on and on about it because it’s so interesting, but it’s so important to them, for us to keep our mouths shut.”
Not much is known about the upcoming third season, aside from a casting call that revealed a potential villain. Actor Charlie Cox has gone on record saying it will be dark, though:
“Everyone who loves Daredevil loves Born Again. You can’t not. And if that’s the case, then the implications of that would be very exciting to me. That would be great. Having said that, I know we don’t tend to follow any story blueprints too closely, because if you do, then you become a foregone conclusion.”
Here’s hoping that the show’s third season will be as good (or better) than the last two we’ve gotten. The Defenders got somewhat of an indifferent reception among fans, so who knows if we’ll see a second season of it.
