But at long last, Daredevil has his own show again withDaredevil: Born Again. It’s not a one-off season either, as filming for season 2 is already underway, and there are a lot of questions left hanging in the air after the finale.Here are all the plot threads left dangling at the end of Daredevil: Born Again Season 1.
Spoilers Ahead for Netflix’s Daredevil and Daredevil: Born Again
6Can Matt Resume His Job As A Lawyer?
Daredevil Forever
After Matt takes a bullet for Fisk, one would think Fisk would be grateful. Instead, he sends an assassin to kill Matt in the hospital, which goes poorly. Thankfully, Frank, aka. The Punisher, comes in to help stop a bunch of rogue cops from trying to finish the job.
It seems like Matt can no longer practice his legal career, as Fisk will probably continue to try to kill him. He cannot return to his apartment anytime soon, either, and has to hide in the shadows. While this season ofDaredevil: Born Againwas somewhatdevoid of Daredevil, next season may be nothing but Daredevil, because it seems like he is trapped in this identity until he can put an end to Fisk’s reign of terror.
5Did Frank Escape His Cell?
The Punisher Is Loose
Daredevil: Born Againcould have easily killed Frank to make a statement that this series is not messing around. They did prove that in the show’s opening though, with Foggy’s assassination, butputting down The Punisherwould have been a much stronger message. Thankfully for fans, the cops do not kill Frank, as he is shown in the final scene caged in a secret dungeon within Fisk’s compound.
There are several other characters there as well, including Jack, aka. Swordsman. While Frank is not shown escaping his cage, he does presumably kill a guard and perhaps grabs his keys as well. Will Frank immediately start killing in this dungeon, or will he be smart, rescue Jack and the others, and then make his escape to rendezvous with Daredevil again?
4What Is The State Of New York City?
Who Is In Danger?
The ending of Season 1 spells big things to come in the MCU as Fisk declares martial law in New York City. There is a curfew, cops seemingly have more power than ever, and masked vigilantes will be arrested or killed on sight. Does Fisk see a difference between a masked vigilante like Daredevil and other superpowered heroes like The Hulk or Captain America?
While Avengers Campus has moved out of NYC, the Sanctum Sanctorum remains, and Spider-Man is presumably still active as well. Do these characters make Fisk’s hit list as well? What of the military and the rest of the United States? Can Fisk really get away with holding a city hostage in a world filled with heroes? Ms. Marveland Kate Bishopshould be close by, too, and could easily help Daredevil bring an end to Fisk.
3What Happened To Angela?
The White Tiger Rises Again
Hector was introduced inDaredevil: Born Againas White Tiger, a superpowered masked hero who draws power from the subtly-named Amulet of Power. Matt helps him get out of jail through a series of trials, for which he is happy at first, but Hector gets gunned down shortly after his hearing.Angela, Hector’s niece, is angry at Matt for not doing more to help her uncle.
Angela takes things into her own hands and gets kidnapped by Muse in the process. Daredevil saves her, and it seems like things will be alright for Angela, but a bigger question emerges. Will Angela put on the mask and the Amulet of Power to become the next White Tiger?
2Will Bullseye Become An Ally?
The Enemy Of My Enemy
Bullseye is the villainwho kills Foggy in the opening ofDaredevil: Born Again. Daredevil tries to kill him, but Bullseye survives and gets thrown in jail instead. Toward the end of the season, he escapes and tries to kill Fisk at his inaugural ball, but that’s the bullet that Matt takes for Fisk.
After that, Bullseye makes his retreat and is seen in an unknown apartment in the final minutes of the season. It’s unknown what Bullseye will do next. Will he go after Fisk again? It’s easy to see Bullseye and The Punisher teaming up since they have no qualms about killing. Can Daredevil put his differences with Bullseye aside long enough to save NYC? That’s the bigger question.
1What Army Was Daredevil Talking About?
Literal Or Figurative?
Toward the end of season one, Daredevil decides not togo after Fisk, seemingly cementing that things would have to wait until season two to wrap up, as he was injured. He tells Karen that he has to play this smart if he wants to take Fisk down, explaining that they need an army.
Did Daredevil mean that literally, as in he needs more bodies to rush Fisk’s compound? Or did he mean it figuratively, as in he needs the citizens of NYC to see that Fisk is lying? The cops are of no use to Daredevil as he doesn’t know who he can trust, and he certainly cannot prosecute Fisk because the law overall is corrupt and likely backing Fisk. Maybe then, through citizen protests, Daredevil can make a difference. Of course, if he meant he needed a literal army, then there are plenty of Marvel heroes around NYC, like the aforementioned Ms. Marvel and Kate Bishop.
