'Marvel's Daredevil' Season 2 Spoilers: Will Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock Meet Netflix's Bullseye?

Audiences have been eagerly binge-watching Marvel's Daredevil on Netflix. With the recent announcement of Season 2 of Marvel's Daredevil, will Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) find himself confronting his arch-nemesis, the psychotic card-throwing assassin Bullseye?

As we previously mentioned, Matt Murdock (Cox) was a young boy when he was struck blind after a near fatal car accident. Though everyone thinks he lives in complete darkness, radioactive chemicals gave him back his sight. By day, Murdock pretends to be the blind lawyer attending courtroom battles. But when darkness falls, Daredevil serves out his own brand of justice as he protects Hell's Kitchen from Wilson Fisk (D'Onofrio).

We mentioned before, Netflix has announced Season 2 of the Man Without Fear series. There will be a few changes this time around as executive producer Steven S. DeKnight steps down and adds new showrunners Doug Petrie (American Horror Story) and Marco Ramirez (Sons of Anarchy).

According to Latino Review, a trusted source at Marvel's TV production offices mentions\ed Jason Statham, known for The Transporter is being pursued to play the Marvel super villain. During his break fro the press tour of his current action/ comedy Spy, The Expendables star was spotted entering the building to meet with Marvel executive personnel.

And now Bloody Disgusting reports that plan has fallen through because of the leak, "He was legitimately in heavy negotiations for the role and the leak killed it. Perhaps his agent saw the positive uproar and instantly upped the actor's asking fee? Perhaps the studio spotted the same excited reaction and preemptively killed the deal out of fear of Statham's management going for more money? Who knows.The bottom line is that yesterday the Crank star was at the top of the list and deep in negotiations and today Marvel has moved on to other pastures."

IGN  adds to the conflicting reports and states, "Marvel has told IGN there is 'No truth at all' to the rumors of Jason Statham playing Bullseye in Daredevil."

The sophomore season of Marvel's Daredevil is expected to begin production at the end of June, early July.
