Marvel has an ace (and all kinds of assholish) PR team, yeah. Right now they're encouraging speculation everywhere but going pretty far to keep anything official, especially pictures, off the internets. They're staaaarving us on purpose gearing up for S2. I kinda admire them but also kinda hate them, and kinda hate myself for admiring them? They're good. Those bastards.

V. D'Onof wasn't on set for the whole time so I'm down for a court appearance (with Vanessa, yesss) or even just scenes of him in prison. You KNOW he's going to find out who killed Wesley. But I know Marvel is hiding his appearance because he's not even on the DD IMDB page as showing up for S2 yet.

The only thing that holds me back on Bullseye appearing is we'd get almost no time for his obsession with Matt to be relevant to the season. I know not everything has to be based on the comics, but their history, omfg (I'm always going to be fond of Lester calling Matt 'little bitch'). The only villain more obsessed with Matt than Fisk is Lester and I'd really want to see that screwed up relationship start and just... evolve, I guess.

But where would they find the time? I know they were calling for Bullseye to be cast (Jason Statham would have been great if he'd not turned down the role) but then they went with Frank Castle instead. And then added Elektra who is apparently going to be manipulating the hell out of Matt in S2 (and Matt used to love Elektra so). There were some set pics that showed Matt and Elektra being chauffeured in what looked like Fisk's old entourage of mobile vehicles. But they freaking brought Stick back for 3 whole episodes and GDI, Stick trained both Elektra and Matt so where the hell does Stick and possibly Stone fit into this season? And where does Foggy and Karen get to have time, or Foggy, I guess, since Karen is kinda supposed to be doing the romance thing with Matt? Does Foggy get any screen time and backstory at all? Idk idk this isn't like S1 where they expected to only have the one season and used half of it to set up The Defenders and Iron Fist. This time it's all Daredevil and there is TOO MUCH, omg. I hope they make it work.

I wonder if they'll use Fisk's appearance to set up stuff in season 3? Now that I think about it, he has to have more than an off-hand "btw this guy's still in jail" scene or else they wouldn't be keeping it under wraps like that, and in the S1 finale they had Fisk finally become the Kingpin so I'm expecting some pretty magnificent plotting from him. I'm going to die of a heart attack when he finds out who killed Wesley, tho. D:

I'm concerned about the amount of material they're stuffing into S2 too, but thinking about it, S1 would have superficially looked like a lot on paper as well (like, Kingpin + Stick + hints for K'un-Lun + The Hand + Gladiator, on top of what always needs to happen storyline-wise to introduce a new superhero) and they handled everything beautifully. There was still only one major storyline with Fisk vs Matt though, and a lot did get sidelined into vague hints for future seasons, so idk. You definitely have a point about Bullseye, they're gonna be pushed for time and I don't want them to rush that buildup of his scary obsessiveness when there's already so much going on.

We're going to be bombarded with new trailers and stuff this final month-and-a-half, it looks like. I tried to find the trailer release dates for the first season, and they seemed to mostly be out the month (and the fortnight!!) right before the season launch. I'm excited but everything feels so far away ;_;

This spoiler space might be a little useless but I'm gonna leave it there anyway.

SEASON 3?! Oh my god, I hadn't even thought of that! I'd kinda like to see Elektra show up and manipulate the ever loving hell out of Matt, dragging him back into her bed, etc, probably right after he's finally okay with flirting with Karen and thinking maybe there's a chance for them. Elektra shaking that up would be par for her course. I'm kinda down with Elektra manipulating Matt into making bad choices for himself and everyone around him, only to find out near the end that she was hired by Kingpin to get him to do exactly that. But my question is does Elektra know Matt is DD, or does she find out during the season?

And you are toootally right that on paper S1 looks like a hot mess, like how would they ever fit everything in there? In hindsight, the biggest problem I have with DD S1 is that they expected to only have one season and used 1/3 of it to set up Iron Fist and The Defenders. The amazing success of S1 and greenlighting a S2 immediately meant some disruption to The Defenders schedule. But if S2 sticks to the world of Matt Murdock and Marvel worries less about using him as a form of exposition for everything else, we should be in for an awesome season, yay!
