There’s a new player in Hell’s Kitchen and he practically owns the first Netflix Daredevil Season 2 trailer that dropped earlier today, the first part of a two-part trailer that will conclude later next week.
The trailer quickly introduces Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal), a militaristic man with a tragic past and penchant for violence and revenge. Hell’s Kitchen is still becoming accustomed to the Daredevil (Charlie Cox) vigilante and now Castle is leaving scores of bodies in his wake with “military precision,” as the police note.
Apart from the obvious and unintentional similarities to the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice dueling vigilantes story line, Daredevil Season 2 is setting up to define exactly what kind of hero Matt Murdock really is. Like Castle tells him during a beatdown, “you’re only one bad day away from becoming me.”
The trailer ends on a cliffhanger of sorts as Matt returns to his pad and is startled by the presence of Elektra (Elodie Yung), a warrior who clearly already has a history with him.
Part 2 of the Daredevil Season 2 trailer will arrive next week on Thursday, February 25th. It will be followed by the entire season arriving on Netflix on Friday, March 18th.
