Matthew Lillard Says Mr. Charles Is a ‘Kingmaker’ in DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN

The second season of Daredevil: Born Again picks up six months after Wilson Fisk imposed martial law on New York City. Fisk’s continued crackdown on vigilantes has led to an aggressive task force patrolling the streets, creating trouble for Daredevil. This season will also introduce new characters, including the enigmatic Mr. Charles, played by Matthew Lillard, who appears to be a new villain, though his exact role is currently unknown.

Matthew Lillard shared with Mr. Charles that his character isn’t intimidated by displays of power. He described him as someone who actually influences who becomes powerful, making it especially enjoyable to act opposite someone like Vincent D’onofrio, who plays Kingpin. He finds the dynamic really fun.

Damian Lillard is having a busy year! He’s already appeared in Scream 7 and released his own Ghostface-branded vodka. Given how well he played the villain in the movie, fans are excited to see what he does next.

Charles’ calm and seemingly indifferent attitude is actually what makes him dangerous. While Wilson Fisk is famous for his explosive temper, it’s often the more laid-back characters who are truly formidable. If he doesn’t appear physically imposing, it suggests he’s intelligent and likely has resources – whether that’s allies, hired help, or powerful connections – to get things done. We’ll discover what motivates Charles’ disinterest in power when Daredevil: Born Again premieres on Disney+ on March 24th.
