There have been rumblings for a while now that the upcoming third season of Daredevil will adapt the "Born Again" storyline and that's pretty much confirmed with the news that Vincent D’Onofrio will be reprising the role of Wilson Fisk. We still don't have a premiere date but this is a good sign that work has started on the Netflix series and that's emphasised by the addition of a brand new showrunner.
Erik Oleson is set to take over from Douglas Petrie and Marco Ramirez, news which probably shouldn't come as a surprise after they took charge of The Defenders, a series which received an underwhelming response from fans and critics alike. He served as an executive producer and writer on Amazon's The Man in the High Castle and spent a fair bit of time working on superhero show Arrow for The CW too.
"Vincent is an exceptional actor who returns with the incredible gravitas he brings to Fisk," executive producer and Marvel TV chief Jeph Loeb said in a statement today. "We’re very excited how Marvel’s Daredevil develops through the creative lens and guidance of our new showrunner, Erik Oleson." Are you excited for The Man Without Fear's return to Netflix?
