[Update] According to Marvel Television, who spoke with CBR, there is no truth to the Jason Statham rumor.
Original story:
Could Jason Statham become the hired assassin who is quite the thorn in Daredevil's side for the second season of Netflix's Daredevil? According to Latino Review, Statham is being pursued for the role of Bullseye for the follow-up to the wildly successful Netflix show. As of this time, there is no confirmation from Statham or Marvel about this possible role.
In addition, Latino Review's sources say that in addition to Bullseye, other villains are going to be appearing on the show: Mr Fear, Mysterio, and Elektra. Again, there is no confirmation whether this is true or not.
If this is true, Statham seems like a pretty solid addition to the cast, but could Netflix and Marvel get someone of this caliber on the show? Statham just came off doing Furious 7, which is easily the most successful 21st century franchise to date. Would this mean that Daredevil is getting a bigger budget for a second season as well?
What do you think of this rumor? Would Statham make a good addition to the cast?
