Wilson Bethel Hints at Bullseye's Big Future in the MCU in Daredevil: Born Again
Collider
As the season finale of Daredevil: Born Again airs on Disney+ Tuesday night, everything is resolved at once in the episode titled "The Southern Cross." Charlie Cox's Daredevil reveals he is Matt Murdock in order to stop Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio). However, this courtroom scene transforms the second season into a real battlefield and a bloody environment. While Fisk loses the narrative he carefully built throughout the season, Wilson Bethel's sharpshooter Bullseye makes his entrance, not as part of the plan, but as the element that shatters everything.
This unpredictability continues until the last moments of the episode. In an interview with Collider, Bethel hints that Poindexter's story is not over, especially after Charles (Matthew Lillard) gets involved. Using the phrase, "Bullseye ultimately, like in most comics, is just a hired killer working for money," Bethel adds, "I don't think the possibility of a government finding the money to hire him would be out of the question."
The final scene with Dex and Charles on the plane redefines Daredevil's enemy as not saved or redeemed, but perhaps stepping into something bigger and more dangerous. As Bethel points out, his character still acts "in his own interests and from his very specific perspective." Any deal he makes now is likely on his own terms, as this final twist seems like a turning point that leaves Matt in prison, exiles Fisk to a lonely island, and sends Bullseye to a place no one can control.
Before discussing the finale of Daredevil: Born Again, does Bullseye have a small detail this season compared to the Netflix seasons that fans might not notice but you really enjoy bringing to the screen?
Bethel mentions a small detail he brought back from the Netflix show, which is Bullseye's ability to manipulate the money in his fingers. He does this in the diner scene and thinks he does it in another scene as well. This is something he started since the Netflix era. The idea is that Bullseye is someone who is always developing his agility because his hands are so crucial to his identity. I love bringing things like this to the screen. There are a lot of little details. There's a cut scene that I really love, a sort of callback that is still part of the show but you might not notice. In Episode 4, Daredevil comes to Dex's apartment, and they have a fight in the apartment, where Dex has an open Discman, and one of the original ideas there was that he had old tapes he listened to from the old days during the Netflix show. Anyway, these are a few little details.
