A New Foe for Kingpin Emerges in Season 2 of «Daredevil: Born Again»

In the second season of «Daredevil: Born Again», a fresh challenger steps into the ring against Wilson Fisk, better known as Kingpin. Lily Taylor, the 58-year-old actress, has been cast as this enigmatic new enemy. Whispers suggest her character might be poised to unseat Fisk from his newly claimed throne as mayor of New York.

Filming for Season 2 of «Born Again» kicked off in mid-March, and now Taylor has joined the ensemble. Known for her roles in films like «The Conjuring» (2013) and «Arizona Dream» (1991), the actress’s character remains shrouded in mystery. What’s clear, according to Deadline, is that she’ll square off against Kingpin as a political foe.

Season 1 saw Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) rise from mafia kingpin to New York’s mayor. Once a shadowy crime lord, he launched a crusade against street-level vigilantes like Daredevil (Charlie Cox) and the Punisher (Jon Bernthal). Fisk is a man of iron will and a brutal past, unafraid to crush his enemies with a heavy hand. It seems Taylor’s character might aim to topple this formidable figure, exposing him to the public as a corrupt tyrant who rules through bloodshed. Her battle could hinge on proving that the city’s new leader is more villain than savior.
