New BTS pics from Daredevil: Born Again sets up clash with Kingpin

New behind-the-scenes photos from the set of the second season of Daredevil: Born Again have surfaced. The second season was greenlit alongside the first and began filming in New York in February. The first season debuted on Netflix this March to rave reviews.

The anti-vigilante task force (Spoilers Ahead)

The newly released photos showcase the Anti-Vigilante Task Force, which was established by Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio), now the Mayor of New York. While the task force claims to protect the city, it is actually Fisk’s private army, meant to eliminate anyone he sees as a threat.

Fans have noted that the task force's logo closely resembles The Punisher’s iconic white skull. This connection was hinted at in the recently released third episode of season one, where fans finally saw Jon Bernthal’s Punisher in action. Marvel has already announced a special presentation focusing on the character.

Jon Bernthal's thoughts on The Punisher

Speaking about the upcoming special, Jon Bernthal expressed his passion for the character, saying, “I care very deeply about Frank. I’m really grateful that I’m getting the opportunity to tell the story that I think the fans deserve. We’re giving it our all, and we’re trying to tell a Frank Castle story that we’re not going to turn our back on the audience—it’s not going to be easy, it’s not going to be light, and I think it’s the version that this character deserves. I’m just beyond honoured and grateful that we get the opportunity.”

With only three episodes released, Daredevil: Born Again currently holds an 83 per cent critic rating and an 82 per cent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. New episodes drop weekly on Disney+.
