Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 Completely Changes Bullseye

by

Be warned, this article reveals major plot points from Season 2, Episode 7 of Daredevil: Born Again. The show has significantly altered some important characters, and the latest episode highlights a compelling new direction for Bullseye. While Daredevil’s story within the Marvel Cinematic Universe often revolves around conflicts with Wilson Fisk (played by Vincent D’Onofrio), the series has also introduced a variety of thrilling villains.

I truly believe that after Kingpin, Bullseye, played by Wilson Bethel, is the most dangerous enemy Daredevil has ever faced. That’s why I was so thrilled Marvel brought him into the show, first in season one and then making him a key part of season two – even though he wasn’t originally planned to be there! He just adds so much to the story; he’s a remarkably skilled and completely unpredictable killer, and Daredevil needs an opponent like that.

Bullseye and Mayor Fisk are very different villains. Fisk is usually calm and strategic, while Bullseye thrives on causing chaos – he famously tried to kill Fisk and, tragically, murdered Vanessa in public. However, the latest portrayal suggests Bullseye has evolved, hinting at a promising future for the character within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The latest episode of Daredevil: Born Again season 2 shows Bullseye clearly trying to make amends for his past actions. He’s caused a lot of pain, especially to Daredevil and by contributing to the death of Foggy Nelson. But Matt Murdock recognized Bullseye’s genuine desire to change, and ultimately gave him the chance to do so.

Bullseye’s Redemption Story Just Got Its Biggest Moment In Daredevil: Born Again Season 2

While fleeing the Anti-Vigilante Task Force, Bullseye revealed to Daredevil that he killed Vanessa as revenge for Foggy. He believed this act would even the score, since he had previously killed Foggy at Vanessa’s request. Bullseye even stated he was prepared to die after carrying out this act, feeling it balanced the scales for his past misdeeds.

Daredevil ultimately rescued the Governor, and in season 2, episode 7 of Daredevil: Born Again, he cleverly altered Bullseye’s storyline. Instead of Bullseye’s only good act being a killing, Daredevil had him save the Governor from one of Fisk’s attackers. This was a great move to further Bullseye’s journey toward redemption. He had already shown a willingness to protect others by killing AVTF agents to conceal Daredevil’s identity and save Cherry’s life earlier in the season.

Bullseye is evolving beyond a simple villain. He’s moving into a more complex, ambiguous role that could turn him into an anti-hero, starting with season 3 of Daredevil: Born Again and potentially continuing after that. While he’s definitely committed violent acts and seems to enjoy them, his internal struggles are genuine. By breaking away from Kingpin and Vanessa, he might finally be able to find a better path and become a more heroic figure.

Bullseye’s MCU Future Could Be Bright After His Redemption

With Bullseye showing real progress towards becoming a better person, he’s a natural fit for a more morally gray team within the MCU – the New Avengers, previously known as the Thunderbolts. This team is largely comprised of anti-heroes with troubled pasts and a history of taking lives, and Bullseye would easily blend in. What’s more, both the team members and Bullseye himself understand feelings of isolation, being trapped, and struggling with inner darkness.

Just as the team members supported each other in Thunderbolts, the New Avengers could offer Bullseye a chance at redemption if he joined. Bucky Barnes, despite his past as the Winter Soldier and the many lives he took, was able to find a path to forgiveness. Given Bullseye’s history with teams like the Thunderbolts and Dark Avengers, and his recent attempt at redemption in Daredevil: Born Again, he’d be a fitting addition to a more gritty and action-focused superhero group.
