Wilson Bethel is reprising his role as Benjamin Poindexter, better known as Bullseye, in the upcoming Disney Plus series Daredevil: Born Again, according to ComicBook.com.
Wilson Bethel’s portrayal of Bullseye in the third season of Netflix’s Daredevil was met with critical acclaim, and his return is a significant addition to the Disney Plus revival.

Marvel’s Daredevil revival is looking more like the Netflix series now
The recent return of Philip Silvera, the renowned fight and stunt coordinator from Marvel’s Daredevil on Netflix, further adds to the excitement surrounding Wilson Bethel’s Bullseye return in the MCU. Silvera’s expertise played a crucial role in crafting the memorable action sequences of the original series, and his involvement in Daredevil: Born Again is expected to maintain the high standard of combat choreography that fans have come to expect from Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock.
Daredevil: Born Again has undergone a significant shift in its creative team following internal critiques at Marvel Studios. The previous vision of the show had a strong emphasis on the legal drama aspect of Matt Murdock’s character, with the superhero element taking a backseat. The new creative direction is rumored to focus more on action and violence, aligning more closely with the tone of the original Netflix series.
Plot details of Daredevil: Born Again remain shrouded in secrecy, but the series boasts an impressive cast. Jon Bernthal is set to return as the Punisher, alongside new additions Sandrine Holt, Margarita Levieva, Michael Gandolfini, Nikki M. James, and Michael Gaston. They join mainstays Charlie Cox, reprising his role as Matt Murdock, and Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk, also known as Kingpin.
As of now, Daredevil: Born Again has not received an official release date for Disney Plus.
