Kingpin may be the definitive Daredevil villain, but he's not just a Daredevil villain. Wilson Fisk was originally introduced to be one of Spider-Man's biggest foes, but - over time - he became synonymous with the Man Without Fear. One antagonist that Matt Murdock most definitely does not have to debate ownership of, however, is Bullseye - the man who built his reputation on the death of Elektra.
Wilson Bethel was cast in the role just over a year ago, and while we're yet to actually see the character in any of the marketing thus far, that should probably be taken as a sign that he's set to have a prominent role. What's more is that the show is said to be offering a different take on the character - one potentially inspired by Jason Aaron's stint on Punisher MAX - which saw the villain start out as a government agent.
Bethel's role had been kept under wraps until a few months ago, when a fitness instructor included an image with him and Charlie Cox together with the hashtags "daredevil and bullseye". Before that, That Hashtag Show claimed that Bethel's Bullseye would be inspired by the aforementioned interpretation in Punisher MAX, so expect this version to differ slightly (hopefully majorly) from Colin Farrell's.
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.
