Though season 2 of Luke Cage is still to arrive before Marvel's Daredevil returns to the small-screen, the two-year wait for the show's third season has left fans pretty excited as to what it'll all entail.
With threads established in Daredevil Season 2 having seeded the adaptation of Frank Miller and Dave Mazzucchelli's seminal Born Again comic, and with The Defenders having paid homage to that particular storyline in its ending, it's also clear that Season 3 is bringing out the big guns. No other comic in Marvel's library is as revered as Born Again, and in setting up Matt Murdock for a climactic confrontation with Wilson Fisk, Season 3 could yet return the show to the heights of its 2015 debut.
Marvel's Netflix shows have been on a bit of a slump as of late, and while Luke Cage and The Punisher were certainly good, neither of them reached the same level seasons one of Daredevil and Jessica Jones did three years ago.
A lot, then, rests on the Man Without Fear's shoulders. (Once he makes it out of the hospice, of course.)
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
