Even though I was a little late to board the Daredevil train, I thoroughly enjoyed the first season once I finally sat down to watch it. In some ways it pays to be a latecomer, as the anxious wait for more episodes hasn't been quite as long for me as it's been for those of you who binged the first season on day one. With the second season of Marvel & Netflix's Daredevil series bringing in fan-favourite characters like Elektra (Elodie Yung) and the Punisher (Jon Bernthal), there's every reason to believe that the upcoming second season could surpass its predecessor. Sophomore slump my ass.
Earlier today we got a fairly nice look at the costumes of Daredevil, Elektra, and the Punisher, and now Netflix has released a brand-new promo which shows those characters suiting up and preparing for battle, which, in less than two weeks, we'll finally get to witness. I can't wait.
A synopsis for Daredevil's second season:
Just when Matt thinks he is bringing order back to the city, new forces are rising in Hell’s Kitchen. Now the Man Without Fear must take on a new adversary in Frank Castle and face an old flame – Elektra Natchios. Bigger problems emerge when Frank Castle, a man looking for vengeance, is reborn as The Punisher, a man who takes justice into his own hands in Matt’s neighborhood. Meanwhile, Matt must balance his duty to his community as a lawyer and his dangerous life as the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen, facing a life-altering choice that forces him to truly understand what it means to be a hero.
Daredevil's second season will hit Netflix on March 18, 2016.
