Hunter Doohan, who plays Wednesday's monstrous villain Tyler and serial killer Muse in Daredevil: Born Again, has compared the secrecy surrounding Netflix and Marvel productions. Frankly, there was only ever going to be one winner.

"That one was just one audition. We talked about Netflix being kind of tight-lipped – Marvel is that times 1000," Doohan told IndieWire of the process behind joining the MCU Disney Plus series.

"I didn’t know the character. I think I might have not even known the show when I did the first audition. And then it was only when I got the offer to do it that I found out everything that was actually going to happen. Then I got to do a Zoom with the showrunners and find out more after we accepted."

Dead doesn't always mean dead in the realm of comic book universes, however. That's something Doohan – who has a major role to play in the Wednesday season 2, part 1 ending – is acutely aware of when discussing a possible return.
