I’ve been playing with this theory about Matthew Lillard’s character in Season 2 of “Daredevil: Born Again” ever since I caught the trailer at Comic-Con in October. I think he might be playing a character who we see for just a few frames, dressed in a Kingpin-style suit and mask. My hunch is that he’s going to spread political propaganda; he knows about all the bad stuff Kingpin is up to, and he’ll go on TV, pretending to be Kingpin himself to expose Wilson’s wrongdoings.
What the crazy part is, is that I think this character would be “The Chameleon,” like the Spider-Man villain. I imagine Lillard bringing a grounded, “Matt Reeves’ Batman-like” vibe to this role, donning the costume to take a stand against Kingpin. There are also rumors that his character might be named “Mr. Charles.” It’s a bit of a stretch, but the “ch” in Charles lines up with the “ch” in Chameleon, and I think that could be a clever connection.
(Iv’e also posted this theory on a couple different subreddits, if you’ve seen it before)
