Daredevil season 3 was recently revealed to be airing towards the end of this year. The season will adapt the classic 'Born Again' storyline which sees Matt Murdock return from the grave after the events of
The Defenders. While Wilson Fisk, aka the Kingpin, is the prominent villain that Murdock will face, there is another iconic foe that has been assumed to appear in the third season:
Bullseye.
Wilson Bethel has long been rumored to be playing the character ever since he was cast as a series regular in the third season last November. Bethel was said to be playing an unnamed FBI agent with a "
darkness inside himself" and a "
hair-trigger temper" that would "
play a critical role in the conflict between Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk."
While Bethel was initially believed to be portraying Sin-Eater, rumors later pointed to him playing Bullseye after a source reportedly working on the third season began to leak some key plot points. These rumors about the villain appearing were only seemingly confirmed later when the logo for the third season's costume department was revealed to include a bullseye.
Thanks to Naqam Washington, the personal trainer for both Charlie Cox and Bethel, this rumor now appears to have been confirmed. Check out the Instagram post below which sees Washington pose for a photo with Cox and Bethel while inadvertently confirming that the latter is playing Bullseye:
