Predictions for Daredevil season 3?
Hmm I have a few predictions actually ;)
First and foremost I’m predicting one hell of a showdown between Matt Murdock/Daredevil and Wilson Fisk. They’ve been setting this up since S1 and it was brought onto a low boil in S2 when Matt threatened Fisk with never seeing Vanessa again. We know there’s going to be another trial which they’ve already shot so most likely the Kingpin is gonna get out of prison somehow sooner than we think as he alluded. Second Fisk is not an idiot, he’s crazy but he’s very intelligent and easily underestimated. The moment Matt threw down those threats it was game and its gonna come back to bite him in the ass in DD3.
With both Matt and DD’s disappearance Fisk is bound to put the two together. And he’s gonna be out for blood. If Fisk learns Matt is Daredevil imagine the repercussions for that; this could mean serious trouble for Team NelsonMurdockAndPage. Foggy’s girlfriend Marci worked for one of Fisk’s firms and helped put him away so they’re targets. And of course Karen killed Wesley so that immediately puts her in Fisk’s cross-hairs. Yep expect to see this arc all come to a head in DD3.
The third part of this prediction is Matt’s identity crisis. The authorities are already suspicious of his activities involving Jessica Jones and Luke Cage in Defenders. Something that Misty Knight seems to be particularly curious about. And with his supposed death that’s gonna be a tough situation to squeeze out of. In the comics Matt’s DD identity becomes jeopardized that Danny Rand temporarily takes up the mantle. And this arc eventually leads into the Beast storyline involving the Hand which I know we haven’t heard the last of. Most likely this idea could be put on slow burn in DD3 but it all depends on how they end the season.
The show did kinda hint on this arc being foreshadowed every time they talked about the darkness inside Matt. Like when Frank told him he was one bad day away from being him so it wouldn’t surprise me if they were planning this Beast outcome. Btw I really REALLY want to see this storyline happen in tv canon!!
The next thing I predict since DD3 is based on the ‘Born Again’ storyline from the comics is the enviable and EPIC Karedevil reunion. I’m expecting this slow burn love story to really heat up in the new season. They’ve been building Matt and Karen together since S1 and each season of DD so far has ended with Karedevil. There’s gonna be angst, there’s gonna be sparks, there’s gonna be passion and there’s gonna be sexy times! Yes I think we just may get our first of many Karedevil love scenes in DD3 with the danger growing.
Most likely Elektra will cameo or turn up I doubt for the entirety of DD3 so fans can have closure with her character. I don’t see her getting ‘back together’ with Matt or even a love triangle. This season is all about going in a different direction and I certainly do not want to see a repeat of the ladder part of DD2 and Defenders.
Defenders was the closing of one chapter for Matt and embracing a new start. He’s coming back from the dead to rebuild his life and his relationships with both Karen and Foggy. Things he forgot about by the end of DD2. He knows he loves Karen and vice versa, its just a question of how they both get there now that Karen knows who Matt is and when she’ll reveal who she is to him. Which brings me to the second part of this prediction that Karen’s past is going to finally come into the forefront in DD3. And this will most likely be the thing that strengthen’s their bond. So by the end of the season they may very well be a couple.
Another prediction I have is a costume upgrade. Rumor has it we could be seeing the iconic DD chest piece sometime soon when Matt returns to Hell’s Kitchen in S3. I just don’t think its a stretch evident on bts ppl have been saying this new season is all about change. Matt could be fully embracing his heroic destiny this year now that he’s been ‘resurrected’. And with change comes a new outlook on life which I’m guessing will be his attitude this time around going forward.
This is a minor prediction more so my own personal thought but we may in fact see Foggy and Marci’s relationship grow deeper in DD3. According to the Punisher, Karen and Foggy haven’t been speaking; probably due to Matt’s supposed death. No doubt that Foggy’s been seeking solace and comfort in Marci’s arms. and that could lead to future wedding bells. Maybe our resident Avocado at law just might pop the question at some point if he’s not too busying helping Matt take on Fisk professionally and otherwise.
Now I know people are anticipating the arrival of Bullseye; mutual enemy of both Daredevil and the Punisher. I don’t think we’re actually going to see him but I do expect to at least have Easter Eggs dropped on this character either during DD3 or by the end. It’ll be interesting to see how he’s handled on DD if/whenever he’s introduced. We know Bullseye is essentially Karen and Elektra’s murderer however since the show has deviated away from the comics to an extent I don’t believe that even when he does show up Karen is going to die. They’ve altered her character taking over the role of Ben at the paper. Yes I don’t write the show and anything can happen to her but I’d like to believe she’s safe for a while.
But yah these are just some off the top of my head. If I think of any more I’ll either do a post on them or I’ll edit this response and add them. I’m expecting to be wowed by this season of DD since they’re labeling it “Awesomenesity”; plenty of action, stunts and character development. I just really want a stronger year compared to DD2. And I want redemption for Matt’s character. No more backdoor spinoffs just back to basics of what made S1 so fantastic.
And I especially want to see NelsonMurdockPage to make an EPIC comeback in DD3! Their dynamic is and will always be the heart of this series for me.
