Daredevil Season 3: 8 Major Plot Predictions

6. People Begin To Piece Together Murdock And DD's Disappearance

Netflix

Though Born Again looks to be a primary influence on the latest season of Daredevil, that doesn't mean it'll be its only one. The show's first two seasons, for instance, took a great deal of their inspiration from other stories in Miller's run on the character, along with elements of Brian Bendis' Marvel Knights comic from the early 2000s. The latter series is also likely to inspire certain elements from Season 3's story too, owing to the fact that - much like Born Again - Matt Murdock endured a lot throughout its duration.

To many, the highpoint from that series occurred during The Murdock Papers - an arc that saw Kingpin leak Matt Murdock's alter-ego to the press and would fundamentally alter the status-quo of Daredevil's comics for an entire decade. It was massive, and with Matt dogged by accusations of his vigilante career in his public life, the character eventually ended up in prison alongside who else, but the Kingpin himself.

While it might be a stretch to say that Murdock's double life will go public in Season 3, people will be asking questions as to why the Devil of Hell's Kitchen disappeared just as its blind lawyer suddenly died. It's a thread Fisk himself is likely to latch onto as well, and with that in mind, it looks as though things are going to get a whole lot worse before they get better.

Content Producer/Presenter

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.
