Marvel's Daredevil Season 3: 10 Early Predictions For Season 4

9. Vanessa Assumes Control Of Fisk's Empire

Vanessa Fisk well and truly showed her true colours in Daredevil Season 3, illustrating that the past three years spent on the run have changed her greatly. Her and Fisk are a match made in Heaven (or Hell - take your pick), and with ol' Willie having taken the fall to ensure her freedom, we can expect her to take the reigns on his criminal empire for the foreseeable future.

While Vanessa herself would grow to resent the criminal underworld her husband dealt with in the comics, the version seen in the Netflix series is drawn to it. She loves Wilson because he is the Kingpin - not in spite of that - which sets a new precedent for the character who'd only conspired against Murdock and her husband in the comics, and who saw the Kingpin as a monster far removed from the man she'd married.

Either way, the selection of crime families seen towards the end of Season 3 are likely to play a big part in the follow-up, with one in particular - Rosalie Carbone - having already featured in the second season of Luke Cage.

Factor in the Punisher returning next year too, and it may be possible that the Man Without Fear, Frank Castle and Vanessa have been placed on a collision course. Given how well received the first half of Daredevil Season 2 was as well, this meeting seems a no-brainer.

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.
