The third and concluding season of Marvel Television’sDaredevilreleased in October 2018 and take shoes after the events of the crossover seriesThe Defenders . As well as catching up with Cox ’s Matt Murdock and D’Onofrio ’s Wilson Fisk , Daredevilseason 3 also introducedWilson Bethel as Benjamin " Dex " Poindexter , an FBI Special Agent with improbably accurate marksmanship who saves Kingpin and soon becomes the supervillain ’s pawn . Fisk manipulates Poindexter throughoutDaredevilseason 3 , convincing him to masquerade as Daredevil to transform the Man Without Fear into a public enemyand shift focus out from himself , but this ended in tragedy for the former FBI Agent after he remove the truth .
Psychopathic Benjamin Poindexter was revealed to have killed his baseball coach as a child , and was afterward force into psychiatric treatment . The end of his former therapist make him vulnerable to Kingpin ’s influence inDaredevilseason 3 .

A meridian example of this isVanessa Fisk ’s recasting forDaredevil : Born Again , as Kingpin ’s married woman was portrayed by Ayelet Zurer inDaredevil , though will be played by Sandrine Holt in the upcoming MCU series .

There was incertitude aboutDeborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson returningas Karen Page and Foggy Nelson , respectively , though they have recently been rumored to be make appearances inBorn Again . Wilson Bethel’sBenjamin Poindexter would be the perfect character to bring back into the MCU , as his news report as a bona fide villain has only just begun , and his transformative mental process at the ending ofDaredevilseason 3 created one of the most frustrating cliffhanger that has n’t yet been addressed in any room .
