Daredevil: Born Again star Wilson Bethel has hinted at what we might be able to expect from Bullseye in season 3 – and it looks like we're getting a more comic-accurate villain.
Warning: there are Daredevil: Born Again season 2 finale spoilers ahead!
The end of this week's episode saw Bullseye leave New York to work for the mysterious Mr. Charles on (probably shady) government business. He's taking over from Luke Cage, who's left that life behind to return home to Jessica Jones and their young daughter. So, what can we expect from Dex in season 3?
"The past now being behind him in the way it is, I think it opens up a whole slew of interesting new storytelling possibilities," Bethel told The Direct. "Especially for those who are excited to see some version of Bullseye that resembles the comic book version a little bit more, because maybe he's just a fucking mean ass gun for hire right now, and there are a lot worse ways to experience Bullseye."
Season 2 painted Bullseye as a bit of an antihero, with the sharpshooter taking aim at Fisk several times as revenge for Vanessa asking him to kill Foggy in season 1. In season 3, however, it seems like he may be a little less morally gray.
"One of the things that's so much fun to play with this character is that there is a certain kind of capriciousness to where his mind or his emotions might be at. This is a deeply unstable person, right?" Bethel added.
"And if you take people with mental illness of one kind or another, they can go some pretty different directions, wholeheartedly, with a very full set of beliefs in those different directions at any given moment. And it's one of the things that's super cool about this character, just because he's one way right now at the end of season 2, don't expect him to be there at the beginning of season 3."
