‘Daredevil’ May Have Found Its Bullseye!
Latino Review has broken the news that Marvel TV is aiming to crank up their stable of actors by adding none other than Jason Statham as the infamous assassin Bullseye. According to our own sources, the action superstar is currently deep in negotiations, so here’s hoping that talks don’t break down. If he signs, it will truly be a deal with the devil, as Bullseye is slated to make his debut on Netflix’s Daredevil come May 2016. The second season of Marvel’s hit series is scheduled to begin production at the end of July, so we should expect to hear some finalized casting by Comic-Con at the latest. Expect more rumors and announcements to fly hard and fast between now and then.
The villainous Bullseye previously appeared in the 2003 feature version of Daredevil and was played by Colin Farrell. He isn’t the only character from that incarnation expected to make their debut in Season 2, however. Elektra is also very much in the cards, along with the evil organization The Hand, both of whom were hinted at in the inaugural season. The emergence of The Hand in Hell’s Kitchen should also bring us the return of Stick (Scott Glenn), so it sounds like Matt Murdock has his work cut out for him next year. I hope his new outfit softens the blows more than his initial one.
This is a rather exciting time for Marvel’s Netflix shows and as a fan its hard not to get impatient waiting for Daredevil to return. Lucky for us, their second series…AKA Jessica Jones…has been in production for a few months and should be wrapping soon, if it hasn’t already. Luke Cage is upon as as well, with both likely to premiere before The Man Without Fear returns to Netflix in 2016.

‘Curse of the Where Wolf’ Bites Into August Release With Trio of Werewolf Theatrical Screenings [Exclusive Preview]
Larry Chaney‘s hairy misadventures are continuing in the sequel graphic novel Curse of the Where Wolf from creative team Rob Saucedo, Debora Lancianese, and Jack Morelli, and its author is celebrating with a trio of horror’s greatest werewolf films.
The Curse of the Where Wolf hits shelves on August 7 from Encyclopocalypse Publications.
That coincides with the launch of a theatrical screening event in Houston, Texas, featuring a trio of seminal werewolf flicks turning 45 this year: The Howling on August 7, Wolfen on August 14, and An American Werewolf in London on August 21.
Each screening features a “werewolf in film” presentation as well as a book signing from Where Wolf author and River Oaks Theatre artistic director Rob Saucedo.
In the new graphic novel, “Being a werewolf sucks. Reporter Larry Chaney wanted to be a hero. Instead, he became a werewolf. Now, caught between incredible new powers and a desire to eat everything (and everyone) in sight, Larry must find a cure for his curse. Or die trying.”
“With Where Wolf, I wanted to tell a whodunit set in a furry convention, so the story was pretty contained within a very specific setting and genre. With Curse of the Where Wolf, I wanted to celebrate everything I love about the possibility of comic books. Curse of the Where Wolf is a funny book, in every sense of the phrase, but it’s also an earnest look at a person’s struggle to become a better version of themselves, especially when the alternative is to become a literal monster,” Saucedo says of Curse.
The original graphic novel was previously serialized as the first webcomic hosted on Fangoria before being collected by Encyclopocalypse Publications in 2023 and has already been optioned for film, podcast, and television development ahead of launch by producers James Fino (“The Freak Brothers” for Tubi, “Rick and Morty” for Adult Swim) and Charles Horak (First Date for Magnolia Pictures).
Expect Larry to find himself in even weirder situations in the 362-page full color sequel; Saucedo has provided Bloody Disgusting with exclusive art pages from the upcoming graphic novel that showcase lupine humor.
