Daredevil Season 3: 8 Major Plot Predictions

4. ...And Discovers Matt's Alter-Ego

The Defenders Matt Murdock

With the targeting of Matt's old friends likely to bring him out of hiding, it should be a given that Fisk finally puts two and two together and discovers that he's the Devil he's been dancing with all along.

Again, fans of the character's comics will know that this shift in relationship sparks one of the medium's most formidable rivalries. As the stakes are raised, Murdock and Fisk battle with each other literally every year, beating the opposite to within an inch of their lives on countless occasions.

Make no mistake, once the penny drops for Fisk, viewers will be in for a torrid time. The thought that his two most hated adversaries are actually one in the same is going to cause him no end of grief, and with his methods being as violent as they are, expect Matt - and his allies - to bear the brunt of his rage.

Fisk was already pretty incensed by the time Daredevil's second season came to a close, so with even more knowledge in his midst, things could be about to get really ugly.

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.
