Daredevil star Wilson Bethel is set to return to the upcoming reboot series Daredevil: Born Again.
Bethel, know to Marvel fans for playing Benjamin 'Dex' Poindexter/Bullseye on Netflix's Daredevil, is reprising the role in Disney+'s Born Again, which has just resumed production following the writers' and actors' strikes. The actor is lined up to appear in three episodes of the overhauled show, as per Deadline.
Born Again marks the hotly anticipated comeback for Charlie Cox's lawyer-turned-crimefighter, featured in three seasons of the Netflix series cancelled in 2018.

The Boardwalk Empire star has since reprised the role of Matt Murdock/Daredevil in Spider-Man: No Way Home, which marked his official MCU debut, and in episodes of Disney+'s She-Hulk: Attorney at Law opposite Tatiana Maslany and the newly released Echo, starring Alaqua Cox.
As for Bethel, his character Dex has the ability to turn any object into a lethal projectile. A psychopathic FBI agent, Dex is guaranteed to give Matt a hard time in the new chapter too.
