A lot of the advertising for Daredevil: Born Again has centered on the return of Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk, with a splash of Jon Bernthal’s Punisher for good measure. However the present seems to even be pulling in some non-Netflix MCU characters into its orbit, with one such addition being… Jack Duquesne?

Sure, should you keep in mind Tony Dalton’s charming, dopey sword pervert from Hawkeye, he’ll be exhibiting up in Born Once more, making him the second MCU transplant alongside Mohan Kapur’s Yusuf Khan. Per Variety, Dalton’s acquired a two-episode stint as Jack Duquesne in the course of the present’s first season.
