Daredevil Season 3: 10 Ways To Make The Perfect Born Again Adaptation
7. Include Nuke (To A Degree)
Netflix/Marvel
In the actual Born Again comic, Nuke featured primarily as a physical opponent for Daredevil to fight, as well as to emphasise Fisk's power in being able to utilise the armed forces in his war against Murdock.
A failed recreation of Project Rebirth, Nuke made his live action debut in the first season of Jessica Jones before he was recaptured by his old military unit. Marvel clearly has plans for the character in the future, and, if it's not to do with Jessica Jones, then it'll surely be something to do with Daredevil.
Like Bullseye, Nuke provides a clear physical challenge to Matt Murdock, and while it would be wise to suspect that the whole flag-face gimmick probably won't be making its way into live action territory, one would suspect Will Simpson will be sporting a clear military aesthetic in his next appearance. If that appearance is inDaredevil, then things will be looking very explosive indeed.
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.
