Jason Statham Eyed For 'Bullseye' In DAREDEVIL; 'Mysterio' And More Expected To Appear

For years, fans have been saying that Jason Statham would make a great Bullseye, and it appears as if Marvel have been listening! The Spy star has apparently been talking to them about playing the assassin, while you won't believe which other bad guys are expected to appear...

Latino-Review reports that Jason Statham (Furious 7) is being eyed to play Bullseye in the second season of Daredevil. They make it clear that this is far from a done deal right now, but add that he's been spotted meeting with Marvel after taking a break from the press tour for Spy. Both Bullseye and Elektra are expected to show up when the series returns to Netflix, so this makes a lot of sense. Statham has never shown much interest in playing a superhero, but this would obviously be a very different type of villain, and someone he would actually be pretty well suited to playing!

The site goes on to mention that Mr Fear is expected to also show up in season two, but one of the biggest surprises has to be the fact that Spider-Man villain Mysterio is also being lined up to appear. He obviously played a key role in the comic books when he employed Bullseye to kill Karen Page in a bid to destroy Matt Murdock's life, but it's kind of surprising that this is where we'll first see Quentin Beck. You can't help but wonder if this means that Spider-Man is also going to show up...

@KingPatel It's Jason Statham, sounds like it could be legit.

Bullseye is in my top 5 villains of all time. I can't wait to see what Netflix/Marvel does with him.

Am I the only one excited if this is true?

Not a bad choice. Also I wonder if this will be Quentin Beck or a full fledged Mysterio?

When you think about it, Rosario Dawson is a bigger star than this action movie chump, so if she signed on...

Seems too good to be true, BUT, if it does happen, a Daredevil movie featuring Statham as Bullseye, yep, I'd pay to see that.

Statham would kill it in the Bullseye role, whether it's on Netflix or on the big screen.

Hope this comes to fruition.

@KingPatel There are a lot of big name actors turning up in Netflix shows, Kevin Spacey for example. Also check out Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, that show was filled with celeberty appearances.

He won't do it unless he changed his mind. He basically said cbm's are beneath him.

wow. If he does it, that would be pretty damn cool. Always liked Statham more than most of his movies

I like this a lot, and casting bigger stars in the show is awesome because then it makes even more sense for them to show up in the larger MCU

I saw Statham in that recent movie Wildcard, he's still got it, and totally Bullseye action, this is a really good choice

@DrKinsolving Now if he can channel some dark humor because he's apparently real good as the spy who acts tough but is really incompetent in SPY too.

@Batmannightwing I don't know about that besides being a boring villain in Furious 7, Statham does a lot of direct-to-DVD/VOD-level action flicks too.
