Will We See The Gladiator In Daredevil Season 2?
The official Marvel's Daredevil twitter page has been very active of late, interacting with fans and posting teaser images. The latest two focus on things we saw in the first season… or are they teases for season 2? The campaign ads for Bill Fisk and the blood are obviously part of the Kingpin's origin… but the look at Melvin Potter's saw blade could be a hint that The Gladiator is coming.
Potter appeared in three episodes of the first season, making Wilson Fisk's armored suits and eventually Daredevil's uniform. Matt Gerald plays the imposing yet somewhat simple character who is only concerned with protecting his friend Betsy. Gerald is unique in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as one of the few actors to have portrayed more than one character. He appeared in the last Marvel One-Shot – All Hail The King as White Power Dave.
If the second season is going to feature both Elektra (Elodie Yung) and The Punisher (Jon Bernthal), adding the evolution of Potter to Gladiator seems like a bit much, but we'll have to see how it will all work out.
