The cast and crew of Daredevil Season 3 took over the Hulu Main Stage at New York Comic-Con to share some brand info about just where the Devil of Hell's Kitchen is headed--and more importantly--who he's going to be up against.
Wilson Bethal's role in this season has been one of "the worst kept secrets in Marvel history," executive producer Jeff Loeb laughed. Officially, he's playing FBI Agent #2, also known as "Dex," but fans put two-and-two together some time ago and guessed a Bullseye reveal was fast approaching. Still, despite the very loud whisperings, Daredevil’s cast and crew were under strict orders to never confirm nor deny any major reveal. “We were so crazy about it we even took the dart board out of the writer’s room,” said showrunner Erik Oleson, “just in case someone accidentally took a picture and someone on the internet thought it was a clue.”

Now Playing: Marvel’s Daredevil: Season 3 - Bullseye Origin Story Trailer | NYCC 2018
But now the cat is officially out of the bag, care of the NYCC panel and this brand-new trailer. Bethel was able to say out loud for the first time that he was “extremely honored to tell the story of how Benjamin Poindexter becomes Bullseye,” which immediately prompted Daredevil himself, Charlie Cox, to jump out of his seat on stage and draw the target logo on Bethel’s forehead.
The panel gave some clues as to just how this incarnation of Bullseye would come to life, linking his evolution from troubled FBI agent to the plot involving Wilson Fisk’s return and eventual parole. Bethel and Vincent D’onofrio (Fisk) touched upon their supportive offescreen relationship while speaking to their characters toxic one on screen. “It’s the beginning of a very weird relationship,” Bethel said.
The footage shown during the panel insinuated a troubled history for Poindexter that Fisk will be manipulating to his advantage, whispering that no one else understands him. It's worthwhile to note that in the comics, Benjamin Poindexter is actually just an alias used by Bullseye who has never officially been given a civilian alter ego--so this season really has an open runway as far as its story is concerned.
Daredevil Season 3 lands on Netflix on October 12.
