Two new episodes of Marvel's Daredevil: Born Again are scheduled to release on Disney+ tonight. Episodes 5 and 6 will be the last time two episodes will be released this season as Episodes 7 to 9 are scheduled to release weekly.
To get fans hyped for the double-episode premiere, Marvel Television has released a mid-season trailer for the first season of Daredevil: Born Again, featuring never-before-seen footage of Matt Murdock finding himself in the middle of a bank robbery. Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio (Wilson Fisk, a.k.a. Kingpin) co-narrate the new trailer as their respective characters, and the video shows both of them struggling with the darkness they have to face within.
Jon Bernthal's Frank Castle can also be seen suiting up as The Punisher and it looks like we'll see be seeing him team-up with Daredevil. The trailer also reveals the Man Without Fear's clash with the Muse, and it looks incredibly intense. It looks like the show will also feature an insanely brutal Bullseye moment that comes straight from the Marvel Comics, but before we talk about that, watch the trailer here:
At the 0:24 mark of the trailer, Wilson Bethel, who portrays Bullseye in the new series and its Netflix predecessor, can be seen smiling, with a tooth missing from his upper gum. If you look closer, as shown in the screenshot above, you can see that the same tooth can be seen in front of Bullseye's tongue. To casual viewers, this may not mean much, but longtime comic book readers should find this moment familiar.
This moment seems to be inspired by a scene from the 2004 comic Bullseye: Greatest Hits, written by Daniel Way and illustrated by Steve Dillon. In the fifth issue of the comic, Bullseye is imprisoned, just like his Marvel Cinematic Universe counterpart at the current Daredevil: Born Again situation. Bullseye's hands hands are fully shackled to restrict him from making a deadly projectile weapon out of anything.
However, during that moment in the comic, Bullseye is able to figure out a way to launch something without using his hands. He manipulates a guard to hit him, so his tooth would come loose. After a beating from the guard, Bullseye smiles, showing his dislodged tooth. Before the guard realizes what he's up to, Bullseye spits the tooth from out of his mount and into the brain of the helpless guard. After this scene, Bullseye escapes out of prison.
