Jason Statham will portray Bullseye
In Latino Review's words, "according to a trusted source at Marvel’s new TV production offices, Jason Statham ["¦] is being pursued to play Bullseye in season 2 of Marvel’s Daredevil Netflix series".
However"¦
It should be taken with a pinch of salt. "˜Cause the source itself mentions: "It is not yet confirmed as reps would not give me a call back".
Eye witnesses place Jason Statham in a very telling, yet interpretable, situation. And so the source continues:
"Our spies spotted him meeting with Marvel personnel earlier this week while taking a break from the press tour for Spy".
The rumor does seem to gain some extra credibility due to the complementary detail. And there's more, on top of the fact shooting was brought forward (its starts in June, not in September).
Statham has a history with Daredevil
According to Latino Review, Jason Statham is not new to Daredevil. Before Marvel regained the rights on Daredevil, Fox intended to reboot the franchise.
Their project never flew, but the word goes Transporter star was in talks with Fox for playing Bullseye. If any of that is true, it means Marvel's Daredevil season two is a new opportunity for Statham to grab the part.
Will he eventually portray Daredevil's nemesis? What are the chances of that to happen, considering Jason Statham has never played in a TV series?
