Who is Matthew Lillard playing in Daredevil: Born Again season 2?
Of course, there's no details about Matthew's character just yet as everything is being kept under lock and key.
Once Daredevil: Born Again season 1 ends, we may have a better idea about what to expect in season 2 but even then, plot points and new characters will not be revealed until nearer the release date.
Matthew Lillard fans have long hoped to see the actor pop up in the MCU. Two of his most popular Marvel fan-castings are Spider-Man villain Norman Osborn (a.k.a. Green Goblin) and Doctor Strange villain Nightmare.
Continuing down a villainous route, others have also suggested that he could portray Mister Fear, who is an antagonist of Daredevil.
Elsewhere, some fans really want to see him play Wilbur Day/Stilt Man.
