Get ready for an exciting update, Marvel fans! The highly anticipated return of a beloved MCU character is confirmed, and it's sure to spark some heated debates.
Tony Dalton, the talented actor behind the character of Swordsman, has revealed that he will be back in action for Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again. This popular Phase 6 project is set to drop in early 2026, and Dalton's involvement is a major draw for fans.
In an interview with ComicBookMovie.com, Dalton shared some intriguing insights. He teased about the intense action sequences he filmed, saying, "I was thinking about those action scenes from my latest movie when you asked, and boy, did I deliver for Daredevil! I pushed myself to the limit, and it took a toll on my body. I even ended up with some serious injuries, including possible rib damage. It was all worth it though; the fans are in for a treat!"
For those who need a refresher, Dalton's character, Jack Duquesne, is a wealthy and skilled swordsman who becomes engaged to Eleanor Bishop, the mother of Kate Bishop. In the MCU, Swordsman has recently found himself in a tricky situation with the Anti-Vigilante Task Force, led by the notorious Wilson Fisk. The question on everyone's mind is, where will Daredevil: Born Again take Swordsman's story after his imprisonment? Will he rise to greater heights, or face even more challenges?
Daredevil: Born Again first premiered on Disney+ in March 2025 as part of Phase Five of the MCU. It's a revival of the beloved Netflix series that ran from 2015 to 2018, and it brought back the iconic Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock/Daredevil, alongside the formidable Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin. The first season received mostly positive reviews, and fans are eagerly awaiting the third season, which is currently in development for a 2027 release.
While characters from the Hawkeye realm are branching out and appearing in other MCU projects, fans shouldn't get their hopes up for a continuation of the 2021 Hawkeye miniseries starring Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld. Despite positive reception and fan enthusiasm, Renner recently revealed that he turned down the offer to appear in a second season of Hawkeye. He cited a significant pay cut from his first season's salary, but he left the door open, saying he'd be happy to return if the timing and conditions were right.
Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 is set to arrive on Disney+ on March 4, 2026. Mark your calendars, and get ready for an action-packed adventure!
But here's where it gets controversial... What do you think about Renner's decision to pass on Hawkeye Season 2? And will Swordsman's story take an unexpected turn in Season 2? Share your thoughts in the comments; we'd love to hear your predictions and opinions!
