We all know that the Punisher will be in the new season of "Daredevil," to be played "The Walking Dead" alum Jon Bernthal. However, there is still a list of villains that might and should appear in the Netflix series, as they are also known to be notorious adversaries of Matt Murdock's alter ego.
Aside from Wilson Fisk a.k.a. The Kingpin, played by Vincent D'Onofrio, a handful of villains in the comics are also worthy to be in the TV-verse. Cinemablend noted that the mystical ninjas called The Hand will be a great addition to the hit series.
At present, Kingpin is the new leader of the group of ninjas in the "Daredevil" comics, making their appearance in the small screen possible. Cinemablend also noted that in Season 1, Fisk has a Japanese associate named Nobu, who is part of a mysterious organization, which could be The Hand for all we know.
Another villain that could appear next season or in the future is Bullseye or as he calls himself, The Man Who Never Misses. One can say that adding Bullseye in the series is inevitable since he has been Daredevil's archenemy since the '70s.
Colin Farrell even played the role of Bullseye in the 2003 film, although his portrayal did not sit well with some Marvel fans. Even Elektra's inclusion next season might pave the way for Bullseye's arrival since he is responsible for killing her, that is, if the Netflix series will follow the comic's story. Showrunner Steven DeKnight previously hinted that the famous villain's inclusion on the series is possible, SciFiNow reported.
Nevertheless, if the above nemeses don't make it on "Daredevil" season 2, fans will still get new, action-packed episodes as proven by the photo previously tweeted by Jon Bernthal himself. The actor is accompanied by guns in the snap with the caption "PUNISH," which sends the message that the anti-hero's TV version will be a lot like the character in the comics, International Business Times reported.
The Hand and Bullseye might just join The Punisher in the roster of villains in the second season of "Daredevil," which is slated to premiere on 2016. Excited for the Netflix series? Share your thoughts on the comments below.
