Daredevil Season 3: 10 Ways To Make The Perfect Born Again Adaptation

9. Introduce Bullseye

While Bullseye himself never made an appearance in the Born Again comic, now is as perfect a time as any for the assassin to mark his MCU introduction.

With The Owl, Wilson Fisk, Elektra and Melvin Potter all having received their own MCU debuts so far, it makes sense to lay the groundwork for one of Daredevil's greatest adversaries in the next season. Although Bullseye was initially little more than a recurring joke in the original series, the villain is most famous for the murder of Elektra and for being one of Wilson Fisk's original assassins. Rumours abounded that Jason Statham was in talks for the part a few years back (frankly a terrible pick for the role, by the way), and if they were rooted in fact, then it's clear that Marvel have at least some interest in pursuing the character in live action.

Bullseye would be a great pick to really up the stakes in the next season, particularly if the character was introduced in a more sinister and indeed threatening light than his last live action incarnation. It'll also be interesting to see what happened to Elektra after The Defenders and, if she does survive, how her role would factor into a potential Bullseye meeting.
