Marvel's Daredevil Season 2: 15 Things You Might Have Missed

3. The Conflict Sets Up Civil War

Daredevil won't be popping up in Captain America: Civil War, or indeed any Marvel movie in the foreseeable future, but there are still some thematic ties to the next big screen superhero film. 

When discussing the Punisher, Officer Mahoney says: "Makes everybody stop and think twice about the whole hero proposition." That notion, of heroes being out in the open but not a consensus good thing, is going to play out in a big way in Civil War, as the government attempts to hold them to account. 

There's also the theme of consequences running through Daredevil's second season, and how what he did in Season 1 opened the door for people like the Punisher, and again in Civil War it's the consequences of what the Avengers have done that lead to the Sokovia Accords, and the ideological conflict between Tony Stark and Steve Rogers, much like the conflict between Matt Murdock and Frank Castle.
