Marvel Looking to Cast "Scrappy New Yorker" with "Hidden Rageful Side" in Season 3 of DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN
Marvel’s Man Without Fear is returning to his series Daredevil: Born Again in the second season this March, but with the episodes already having wrapped, the studio is looking ahead to season 3 plans.
While very little can be revealed as the second season is still yet to unfold, a new report from Nexus Point News claims that Daredevil: Born Again Season 3 is currently looking to cast a new key role for a batch of episodes.
The site explains, "The role is being referred to under the codename Philip, and the casting call is looking for open ethnicity actors in their twenties. Philip is described as being a smart and scrappy New Yorker who's sweet and lovable with a hidden rageful side."
This could refer to several characters, but if you’re looking at the comics, Byron "Butch" Pharris/Fisk is a possibility. Introduced as a member of The Owl's gang, we later learned that he was the illegitimate son of Wilson Fisk. Ultimately rising to become the boss of Hell's Kitchen, Butch has since set his sights on usurping his father as New York's Kingpin of Crime.
While this is a possibility, it could also be true that this is a brand new character thought of just for the show. We will just have to wait and see.
Daredevil: Born Again is set to return for season 2 on March 4th on Disney+.
