Matthew Lillard boards the Marvel gravy train with Daredevil: Born Again season 2

Lillard is a franchise veteran, having played the role of Shaggy in the live-action Scooby-Doo movies in the early 2000s and then voicing the character in animation for decades afterwards. Rather than getting stuck as Shaggy, he’s had an enviably varied career, appearing in everything from Twin Peaks: The Return to Five Nights At Freddy’s and the upcoming Stephen King adaptation The Life Of Chuck. He will also somehow return to the Scream franchise in the next installment, despite his character being dead. Joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe is really just another feather in this guy’s cap. 

As is typical of Marvel’s secrecy around spoilers, there are no details yet available as to what character Matthew Lillard will be playing. (A villain? An ally? Who knows!) However, Charlie Cox recently teased what’s to come in the second season. “I’ve read six of eight, and honestly—and I don’t normally say this kind of thing; I always err on the side of caution—that’s some of my favorite stuff I’ve read of Daredevil,” he told Collider. “We’ve got Dario Scardapane, who was brought in to pivot the show back at the beginning of 2024, who ended up writing the pilot and the last two episodes of this season that’s coming out. What he’s done so far with this new season is so cool and so different and so sinister, and I’m really, really excited about it.”
