Marvel's Daredevil Season 3: 9 Villains That Should Appear
3. Stilt-Man
Marvel Comics
Laugh all you want, but Stilt-Man could actually be done in live action. Granted, he'd be distinctly less stilt-y to strike an appropriate tone for the MCU, but still, it's not an impossible task.
The thing with Stilt-Man is that yes, he's a guy on stilts, but he's also a master thief and engineer. The legs give him a noticeable motif to go by, but there's every chance that a live action version of Wilbur Day could work if the character was a key thief and/or engineer in the employ of Fisk. With Potter now having severed ties with the Kingpin, it's possible that he'll be looking for a replacement, and Wilbur would be the perfect candidate to do so.
He wouldn't be a main villain by any means, but a subtle nod and/or wink to the Stilt-Man would be a welcome Easter Egg for hardcore comics fans to get behind, particularly so, given the fact his stilts were on display in season 2.
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.
