A star from the newest upcoming Disney+ series, Daredevil: Born Again, has confirmed that there will be time jump between the third season of Netflix’s Daredevil and the beginning of the Disney+ series, Comicbook.com reports. The 2025 release of Daredevil: Born Again will see the return of beloved Marvel characters like Matt Murdock, Wilson Fisk, Karen Page, Foggy Nelson, Punisher and Bullseye.
According to Comicbook.com, Bullseye star Wilson Bethel (Hart of Dixie, All Rise) was at panel at Fan Expo San Francisco via Collider, in which he and Charlie Cox (The Defenders, Treason) spoke about the upcoming series and what fans can expect. Bethel explained how it felt returning to portray the villainous Bullseye, how his previous roles have prepared him to play this character again and how his newfound acting experience helped him portray this role even better.
“Yeah, I mean, Charlie sort of alluded to it. But I think one of the things that’s interesting is, I mean, maybe it’s different on a sitcom or something like that, but if you’re on a show for over a period of time and the characters are aging together sort of in real-time, and if the show is well written and the writers are sort of responding to that reality transpiring, the wrinkles of their hair, et cetera, then in theory, the character is evolving in a way, whether or not the show was on air,” Bethel said via Comicbook.com. He then proceeded to talk about how the series will feature a time jump that will pick up five years after the events that unfolded at the end of the third season of the Netflix series.
“So there’s kind of like this funny thing stepping back after five years where Born Again will pick up with that amount of time having transpired. The show doesn’t pick up the day after we last saw it. It picks up five years later,” Bethel concluded via Comicbook.com. “And so in theory, these are characters who have all lived five years of life and all of the twists and turns that you take in the meantime. So whether or not even those stories are necessarily on screen, there’s just that little extra bit of life in there, which I think is… as an actor, it gives you an opportunity to bring whatever your own journey has been in that time and they get sort of a little longer in the tooth.”
Daredevil: Born Again will be available for streaming on Mar. 4, 2025, on Disney+.
