Daredevil
The second time of year ofDaredevilleft audiences with a proper cliffhanger . In the shanty police force offices of Nelson and Murdock , Matt play Karen Page , told her he wants her to sleep with the Sojourner Truth , then hit the horn masque of his alter ego from a report handbag , saying,“I’m Daredevil . ”It was the last mo audiences saw between Matt and Karen , and while it likely wo n’t take in full tending until season three ofDaredevil , you could expect the newbie lovers toaddress the elephant in the roominThe Defenders .
Marvel and Netflix are betting big with their late serial as they examine the limits of small - screen crossovers . So far , early reviews are praisingThe Defenders . Though Daredevil is still enjoyinghis six - calendar month retreat , he will be flanked by the likes of Luke Cage , Iron Fist , and Jessica Jones as they battle the shadowy loss leader of The Hand , Alexandra , ( Sigourney Weaver ) . Fans were surprised to hear of Murdock ’s ego - enforced leave of absence from crime - fighting . With all that he had seen and done in Hell ’s Kitchen , Daredevil was more significant and effective than ever . In place of his vigilantism , it ’s hard to imagine that Murdock has been taking on more cases with Foggy Nelson , especially considering howstrained his friendship with his old partnerbecame .
The respectable news is , Matt ’s kinship with Karen Page will get some screen fourth dimension . Though six months have passed since the end ofDaredevilseason 2 , actress Deborah Ann Woll told Screen Rant thatThe Defenderswon’t diffident away from explore the branching Murdock ’s identity reveal :
“ I think you ’ll definitely see us nibble up and discuss what that is , but it ’s also a little bit about enter out whether I can trust him , or whether he can trust me . We ’re in a little minute of that limbo . ”
The Defendersmay not have have a full - blown flashback successiveness to retread Karen ’s reaction to the reveal , but she and Matt will have time to make amends ( though any straight resolution will have to await untilDaredevilseason three ) . While Karen ’s reaction to Matt ’s true identity was one of consummate impact , the show finish before she had a chance to talk . Though we can only guess how that conversation concluded , Deborah Ann Woll insinuates that the newfound mistrust is common . Considering her substantial part alongside Frank Castle ( Jon Bernthal ) in the upcomingThe Punisher , Karen Page now love the two most important work force in her life are violent vigilance man .
Given the experiential threat facingThe Defendersin the battle for New York , however , you may bet Matt has his anteriority neat . The crossover event is a concise , eight - episode ravel that leaves less time for emotional geographic expedition and more time for scrap . WithThe Hand turn its muscleand bringingElektra back to her bloody-minded style , there wo n’t be much time for Murdock to do anything other than team up with the other superheroes of the Big Apple .
