If you haven’t yet seenJessica Jones, do us all a favor and remedy that situation stat. For the rest of us, it’s now in our rearview mirror, and that means it’s time to setDaredevilSeason 2 in our sight. Though Marvel and Netflix have yet to announce an official release date, a new rumor buzzing about the Web states the hotly anticipated new run will drop earlier than expected.
Based on info gleaned from “independent sources,”ComicBook.comreports thatDaredevilwill return to the streaming service on March 25. If you’re wondering why that date sounds familiar, it’s because it is.Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justiceis scheduled to hit theaters on the same day. For DC’s sake, let’s hope this report isn’t true. You may recall that theMan of Steelfollow-up was originally slated for release on the same day as Marvel’sCaptain America: Civil Warbefore Warner Bros. switched to the earlier slot.
After the wild success ofDaredevil’s first season, season 2 will introduce Elektra and The Punisher by way ofElodie Yung(G.I. Joe: Retaliation) andJon Bernthal(The Walking Dead). The returning players, which includeCharlie Coxas the man without fear,Elden Hensonas Foggy Nelson,Deborah Ann Wollas Karen Page,Rosario Dawsonas Claire Temple, andScott Glennas Stick, may also featureMike Colter’s Luke Cage.
While we wait for an official plot synopsis on season 2, showrunnerDoug Petrieteased to Entertainment Weekly:
Viewers watching the show will be rooting for this guy with a gun [The Punisher] but we’re also going to force people — the way we force Matt — to second-guess themselves. Taking lethal justice into your own hands in America in 2015 is tricky s–t. We have not shied away from the rich complicated reality of Now. If you’ve got a gun and you’re not the police you’re going to incite strong feelings. We’re stirring the pot and we’re aware of the headlines where we live and we’re trying to get people to think.
If Netflix and Marvel makes this release official, which one will you be watching on March 25?Daredevil?Batman v Superman? Both?!
