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

5. Kenji Oyama, And A Return To The Supernatural

Netflix

The closing scene of Season 3 wasn't all sunshine and rainbows though; by the time the credits began to roll, it became clear that Poindexter was recovering from his run in with Fisk by undergoing an experimental kind of spinal surgery - one that possesses a major connection to the Marvel Universe, and potentially even the X-Men too.

Although adamantium isn't mentioned in the scene, the one performing the metal graft to Bullseye is none other than Kenji Oyama, a character who goes by the name of Lord Dark Wind in the comics and was the surgeon who perfected the process that would eventually see Wolverine get his indestructible metal skeleton. In this case, adamantium has been replaced with "cogmium steel", but Oyama is still referenced by name, making this the second of two MCU Netflix scenes that have teased the impending coming together of Fox's Marvel properties (the X-Men and Fantastic Four) with Disney's own.

But what does this bode for Daredevil specifically? Well, the reference to Wolverine - as well as Poindexter's shifting lenses - could perhaps intimate that we'll see some more of those supernatural elements from Season 2 resurface, and potentially even some stronger connections to the wider MCU. Combine that with Elektra's inevitable return, and it's clear Season 4 is looking to juggle a whole host of different elements - ones that are sure to get Daredevil fans very excited indeed.

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.
