Marvel’s underwhelming costume for Bullseye in “Daredevil: Born Again” has been revealed to MCU enthusiasts. Wilson Bethel is set to reprise his role as Bullseye in Marvel’s upcoming series, “Daredevil: Born Again,” joining Vincent D’Onofrio’s Wilson Fisk as one of the antagonists.
With the confirmation that Netflix’s “Daredevil” and other Defenders Saga series are now part of the MCU canon, Marvel fans who are eagerly anticipating the next chapter in Bullseye’s narrative, pitting him against the titular hero of the show, have reacted negatively to the bland Bullseye costume.
X user CanWeGetSomeToast revealed leaked set photos from Daredevil: Born Again: First HQ look at Wilson Bethel’s Bullseye suit in ‘DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN’.
Bullseye, the iconic Marvel supervillain birthed from the creative minds of Marv Wolfman and John Romita Sr., is a menacing figure in the Marvel universe. A psychopathic assassin driven by his own twisted vendetta against Daredevil, he utilizes his lethal skills with chilling precision. Despite lacking superhuman abilities, Bullseye’s knack for turning everyday objects into deadly projectiles, coupled with his uncanny marksmanship, renders him a formidable adversary.
The anticipation surrounding Bullseye’s portrayal in Marvel’s upcoming series, “Daredevil: Born Again,” was palpable among fans. However, the leaked photos of his new costume sparked a wave of disappointment and frustration. Instead of embodying the essence of the character, the costume fell short, eliciting reactions ranging from mild dissatisfaction to outright outrage.
Gone is the menacing allure of Bullseye’s traditional attire, replaced by a lackluster ensemble of black and dark blue hues. The absence of the iconic bullseye emblem, a hallmark of the character’s identity, only compounded fans’ dismay. In its place was a bland “hood,” devoid of the menacing presence that Bullseye typically exudes.
For fans who had eagerly awaited the integration of Bullseye into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the costume reveal was a letdown of monumental proportions. It failed to capture the essence of the character, instead presenting a watered-down interpretation that lacked the impact and gravitas fans had hoped for.
The disappointment stemmed not only from the aesthetic shortcomings of the costume but also from what it symbolized: a missed opportunity to do justice to one of Marvel’s most iconic villains. Bullseye deserved better than a lackluster costume that failed to reflect his menacing persona and formidable abilities.

As fans voiced their displeasure across social media platforms, the costume reveal served as a stark reminder of the challenges inherent in adapting beloved comic book characters for the screen. While some adaptations succeed in capturing the essence of their source material, others falter, leaving fans yearning for what could have been.
In the case of Bullseye’s new costume, it was a missed opportunity by Marvel to elevate the character to new heights within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Instead, fans were left lamenting the lackluster interpretation that failed to do justice to the psychopathic assassin they had come to know and fear.
X user Justin Edward tweeted: “All they really had to do was commit to putting the bullseyes on him, and it’d be fine … but not loving it right now lol”
Other Marvel fans are clearly more upset. X user Aaron Sparrow tweeted: “Are you freaking kidding me? How hard is it to get this shit RIGHT?!”
Do you think that Marvel’s new “Bland is Beautiful” approach to costume design makes Bullseye look like a cat burglar? Let us know in the comments.
