Hey guys, Jan here!
I hope you've had a chance to watch Daredevil Season 2!
Just like season 1, I really enjoyed it and loved Jon Bernthal's Punisher and Elodie Yung's
Elektra.
There were so many cool storylines explored and lots of teases to possible future characters
and plot lines left open for the future.
So, I wanted to look at 7 things I really want to see in Daredevil Season 3 and future
Marvel Netflix shows!
And spoiler warning: if you haven't finished Daredevil Season 2 yet, make sure you come
back after you have, or you can check out my spoiler-free review here!
With that very cool closing shot in the season 2 finale, it seems almost guaranteed that
we'll see Elektra revived by The Hand, but I'm wondering in what form she's going to
come back.
In the comics, when the Hand goes to resurrect Elektra, it orders its ninjas to give their
blood for her, and in the TV show we had the kidnapped children being tapped for their
blood.
I'd love to see if Elektra will be used as a kind of host for the Beast which is what
the Hand might have been digging for with that huge hole in the middle of Manhattan.
In the comics, The Beast is a an ancient demon that The Hand worships and in the Shadowland
story arc Daredevil becomes possessed by The Beast so doing the same with Elektra on the
TV show could be a cool twist.
Melvin Potter, Daredevil's costumer, has had some great scenes so far and both Daredevil
seasons have teased Potter's alter-ego Gladiator from the comics with tons of easter eggs scattered
around his workshop.
There's the gladiators movie poster, the circular saws that Gladiator uses as weapons, the blueprints
for a new costume, and Melvin's tease of his classic Gladiator symbol which he revealed
to Matt in season 2.
There was also a hint to Gladiator ally Leap Frog with a Giant Frogs poster in his workshop.
In the comics, Gladiator has been both an ally and villain of Daredevil's.
So far in the show, he seems to like Daredevil's work and is on his side.
But there's been mention before that he's worked for criminals and those Stilt-Man legs
and armour have been teased heavily in both seasons, so it would be awesome to see someone
like Turk become Stilt-Man, which he once did in the comics.
Jon Bernthal's portrayal of the Punisher was incredible in season 2.
The finale also cemented his character and mindset.
He's cut himself off completely from his old life burning down his family home and declaring
himself already dead to Karen.
What I really want to see though is for Castle to use that minigun which I think he will
as did you notice how his hand twitched in the scene where he uncovers the weapons cache
and the camera focuses on the minigun?!
There was also a nice tease for Castle's assistant Microchip from the comics with the Micro disc
that Castle recovers from his old home.
By the way, Micro was namedropped in an episode of Agents of SHIELD and described as a kind
of "crime scene junkie", providing intel to Skye.
A team-up with Castle's brutal killing skills and a computer hacker like Microchip would
be an awesome combo to see on Daredevil, a Punisher spin-off or any other Marvel shows.
Wilson Fisk promised Matt Murdock that he would come after Matt and Foggy when he gets
out of prison.
Although Fisk was only in season 2 for a small part, he really made his presence felt when
he did appear and Vincent D'Onofrio played the crime lord so well that I really want
to see him back again.
It was pretty terrifying when he smacked Matt down after Matt threatened to take Vanessa
away from him, and I can't wait to see what evil plans he has in store for the Avocado
At Law.
By the way, in the Born Again comic story arc, Karen Page, who's become a drug addict,
sells the information that the identity of Daredevil is Matt Murdock.
This info eventually reaches the Kingpin who sets about destroying Matt's life.
It would be cool to see how the TV show might tackle this storyline.
We've had some sneaky teases to Bullseye in both Daredevil seasons.
The sniper who worked for Fisk in the first season had a playing card in his gun bag and
the Metro General hospital coffee cups in season 2 had playing card designs on them.
Bullseye often used playing cards as weapons in the comics and has a long history of antagonism
with Daredevil.
He was once hired by Maxwell Glenn to kill Matt Murdock and Foggy Nelson and given that
the sniper with the playing card in season 1 was under Fisk's control, it's easy to see
that Bullseye could be brought in as a supervillain for season 3.
Karen Page has a chequered history in the comics and the TV show has hinted at a similarly
complex background for her in the MCU.
We got the first full tease of this in the second season when we finally glimpsed what
was in the file journalist Ben Urich was keeping on her.
The newspaper cutting in the file has a headline "Mystery Accident Causes Teen Fatality" and
makes mention of a "young man, Kevin Paxton Page, of Fagan Corners" who died in a car
accident for unknown reasons.
The cutting also mentions a man with a grey military moustache, a girl of eight or nine
crying, and a brother.
The girl is probably Karen and although there's no record of her having a brother in the comics,
her father is called Paxton Page and he was a scientist who was exposed to cobalt radiation
and became the Daredevil villain Death's Head.
I don't think we'll see Death's Head appear on the TV show, but the series is definitely
hinting at a bigger storyline to explore here.
I really enjoyed the Jessica Jones tie-in with Foggy being offered a job by Jeri Hogarth
to help her law firm with cases involving super-powered individuals like Jessica Jones.
I think it could be a cool way to get Foggy teaming up with Jessica Jones herself.
And a final bonus thing I'd love to see would be an Avengers cameo on the show, for example,
what about Tom Holland coming in as Spider-Man?
I mean, wouldn't that be awesome?!
I'm not sure the MCU is still quite ready to fully integrate the movie and TV universes
in that way yet, but it would be so cool if they could make it happen at some point!
