Today at New York Comic-Con, the “Daredevil” cast in attendance made it official, and Charlie Cox got off his chair and drew the bullseye logo on Bethel’s forehead (they take this stuff seriously). Moments later, Netflix released this new trailer teasing season three as the origin story of Bullseye and how he went from decorated FBI agent, to deranged killer thanks to the Kingpin. He’s also, as you can probably tell, the “Fake doppelganger Daredevil” seen in the recent trailer.
If you feel like it’s anticlimactic and you already knew, well, Marvel’s Jeph Loeb agrees with you and called it Marvel’s “worst kept secret.”
