Streamed on Disney+, Daredevil: Born Again is a Marvel series set in the MCU. The plot revolves around Matt Murdock, a blind lawyer who leads a double life as Daredevil, a masked vigilante. Several characters from the original Netflix series return to the program, notably Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk, popularly known as Kingpin. Matt's comeback to the legal field and Kingpin's growing political clout had been the main areas of focus in the first season.

Known as one of Marvel's most formidable villains, Kingpin is introduced in Season 1 not just as a criminal leader, but also as a politician. By the end of the season, Fisk becomes the Mayor of New York City, a position he uses to gain legal authority and pursue his own agenda, which has been to form the Anti-Vigilante Task Force. As per the storyline, the group primarily consists of corrupt police personnel who increased their grip over the city after the declaration of martial law.

It is anticipated that Kingpin's role will grow even more powerful in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2. As a Mayor now, Fisk would now be capable of imposing curfews and martial law, further solidifying his hold over the city.

With his growing political standing, Fisk is expected to be more domineering and hostile towards his adversaries. It is anticipated that Kingpin's brutal pursuit of power will be examined in Season 2. As Fisk's power and his conflict with Daredevil grow, the comics' Shadowland plot might become a significant part of the drama.

As Daredevil's underground resistance increases, Kingpin is expected to respond with further aggression. Fans could be expecting Fisk's narrative to be a major driving factor in the new season, adding political and personal dimensions to the war in Hell's Kitchen.


With filming underway and a release planned for March 2026, Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 is set to deliver a darker, more political storyline centered around Kingpin’s dangerous plans.
