Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 Set Photos Confirm 4 Major Plot Details Not Seen In the Trailer

by

The trailer for Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, released on January 27, 2026, was full of exciting reveals. It confirmed Krysten Ritter will return as Jessica Jones, hinted at a reunion between Matt Murdock and Karen Page that fans have been hoping for since Season 1, and introduced us to Matthew Lillard’s intriguing new character, Mr. Charles. We also got a glimpse of Wilson Bethel as Bullseye and saw how Kingpin’s task force is increasing control over a city under martial law. The trailer is action-packed, and for good reason – Season 2 appears to be a significant improvement over the first season.

Just as revealing as what the trailer did show is what it left out. While filming Season 2 in New York City from February to July 2025, fans captured several key moments that weren’t included. Photos taken on set have subtly revealed important plot points – like a new hero getting their costume, a beloved character facing trouble, and the extent of Kingpin’s power – details Marvel hasn’t officially confirmed yet.

Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 Set Photos With Important Plot Details

Daredevil and Bullseye Might Be Working Together

On-set photos from April 2025 revealed that Wilson Bethel will return as Bullseye (Benjamin “Dex” Poindexter) in Season 2. The pictures show Bethel and Charlie Cox, who plays Daredevil, both in costume. Bullseye has new, improved armor and a cushioned mask featuring his iconic target symbol. Daredevil is sporting a new black suit inspired by the Shadowland storyline.

The photos leave us wondering: are these two characters teaming up, or was this just a casual moment captured during filming? Considering how the first season ended, either possibility could be true, and both are exciting to consider.

The first season of Born Again ended with Bullseye escaping prison and trying to kill Vanessa Fisk, making him a target for Kingpin. Now, with Mayor Fisk using a special task force to hunt down both masked heroes and criminals, Bullseye is facing danger from two sides: Kingpin wants revenge for the attack on Vanessa, and Daredevil wants him punished for killing Foggy Nelson.

The common threat of Fisk is what makes a partnership between Daredevil and Bullseye potentially interesting. The comics show a similar pattern, where their relationship is often rocky but not always a simple rivalry. In Season 2, facing a shared enemy, the show could delve into the complex territory between being enemies and forced allies. However, Daredevil hasn’t forgotten that Bullseye killed his close friend, and Matt Murdock doesn’t easily forgive such a betrayal.

Cherry Is in Serious Trouble

A video from the set, dated March 2025, shows Cherry – the former NYPD detective who helped Matt Murdock in Season 1 and now works as a private investigator – being taken away on a stretcher and into an ambulance. While the clip is short, it confirms Cherry lives through Season 1 and ends up hospitalized sometime during Season 2.

Cherry played an important part in the first season. Before retiring from the NYPD after years of service, he bravely helped people escape during Bullseye’s attack on Josie’s Bar, where Foggy was killed. During the chaos, he figured out Daredevil was actually Matt Murdock, but kept that information to himself. Afterwards, he became a private investigator and subtly supported Matt’s work behind the scenes.

Because he’s loyal to Daredevil, Cherry is now in danger. Fisk’s task force is actively targeting anyone linked to Daredevil, and Cherry’s knowledge of Matt’s secret identity makes him a prime target. The recent attack on the ambulance suggests Fisk is trying to send a message to Daredevil by threatening those close to him.

His recent hospitalization might allow Brett Mahoney (Royce Johnson) to return to the series. Johnson will be reprising his role, and Cherry’s temporary leave could be the reason the experienced detective is brought back in.

Fisk Tightens Grip On New York

As a huge fan of the show, I was really blown away by one of the Season 2 set pieces – they completely transformed Brooklyn Borough Hall! The photos showed Kingpin’s campaign was everywhere, and it was a clever touch that his slogan, “New York Born Again,” was plastered all over the building – it’s like they were making his campaign and the show’s subtitle one and the same. It was a really striking visual and a brilliant way to integrate the villain’s ambition into the setting.

The filming at Brooklyn Borough Hall was especially elaborate. They decorated the steps with flowers and even parked an armored vehicle on the grounds, effectively turning a well-known Brooklyn landmark into a statement of the character’s power over the city.

Season 2 will heavily focus on the political power and control of Wilson Fisk’s leadership. The official synopsis reveals that Mayor Fisk aggressively dominates New York City while pursuing Daredevil, and the visual representation of the city being reshaped with his branding powerfully emphasizes this oppressive control.

Angela Del Toro Is Becoming the New White Tiger

Photos taken near City Hall in early June 2025 reveal Camila Rodriguez as Angela Del Toro sporting a DIY White Tiger costume. It’s a clearly self-made outfit – a white hoodie, black pants, a vest, and protective pads, with a striped bandana partially covering her face. The costume isn’t fancy, and that’s intentional – it shows a teenager quickly improvising and taking action.

In Season 1, Episode 3, Hector Ayala – Angela’s uncle and the first White Tiger – was tragically killed by police officer Cole North, shortly after Matt Murdock had won his case. This shocking death was a particularly heartbreaking moment in the season, and it forced Angela, who was becoming increasingly involved with Matt’s life, to decide how to cope with her loss and honor her uncle’s memory.

On-set pictures confirm Angela will become the new White Tiger. Just like in the Marvel comics, after the first White Tiger, Hector, passes away, Angela seeks advice from Matt Murdock before starting her own life as a vigilante. It looks like the show’s second season will closely follow this storyline. Matt has already shown he’s a good mentor to Angela – he defended Hector in court, rescued her from Muse, and recognized her abilities in Season 1.

What I really appreciate about Angela’s costume is how it feels… real. It perfectly matches the gritty, down-to-earth vibe of the show. It tells you she’s not some instant superhero, but someone who’s figuring things out, building her identity from a place of pain. Especially with Daredevil rallying everyone against Fisk at the end of the first season, it feels like Angela is going to be a crucial part of the team. And honestly, knowing that the actor who played her brother, Hector, sadly passed away last year adds a lot of emotional depth to her story – it feels like she’s carrying his memory with her, both in the show and in real life.
