Wilson Bethel Teases “A New Dex” for Bullseye in DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN Season 2
Daredevil: Born Again is set to return to Disney+ next year with Season 2, and Wilson Bethel is set to return as Benjamin “Dex” Poindexter, better known as Bullseye. After his debut in Daredevil Season 3, Bethel is back, and according to the actor, fans should brace themselves for a very different version of the lethal marksman.
Bethel’s comeback wasn’t always in the cards. Originally, Born Again didn’t include Bullseye, but the creative overhaul brought the villain back into the fold and judging by Bethel’s excitement, that was the right call.
Speaking with Collider, the actor reflected on what it meant to reprise this iconic role:
“As it happened, getting that call and getting the opportunity to return to that show and return to that character, who I just absolutely adore playing, and I think it's so much fun to play, it’s just been one of the great surprising gifts of my entire career. We just finished shooting the second season. I get to do so much fun, insane stuff in this new season.”
Bethel went on to tease even bigger plans for the future:
“I’m so excited for fans to see it. I hope that we have several, if not many more, years of wonderful story in store for Bullseye and for the whole Daredevil crew. It’s such a great, lovely group of people on that show, in front of and behind the camera. I just feel honored to be part of it.”
As for what fans can expect when the new season drops? Bethel hints that we’re about to see a whole new layer of Dex.
“The Dex of Season 2 is a new Dex that we haven't really seen yet,” he teased. “I'm very excited for people to see it, and I'm curious to see how they weigh in on it. There are some elements of him in this season, some sides of his personality, that we haven't seen yet, and I’m thrilled for people to get to see it.”
While details remain under wraps, leaked set photos suggest Daredevil may end up forming an uneasy alliance with the man who murdered Foggy Nelson. Considering Bullseye is still on the run after his failed attempt to kill Wilson Fisk, this could make for one of the most intense story arcs yet.
In other Daredevil: Born Again news, Vincent D’Onofrio recently confirmed he has wrapped filming as Kingpin, and with D23 around the corner, there’s a good chance the first footage will debut there.
Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again will consist of eight episodes and is slated to premiere on Disney+ in March 2026.
