The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is a vast and expansive universe filled with Easter eggs and references to the comics, movies, and TV shows that have come before it. One of the most beloved characters in the MCU is Daredevil, the blind lawyer-turned-vigilante who fights crime in Hell’s Kitchen. The Netflix series Daredevil has been praised for its intricate storytelling and its ability to weave in Easter eggs from the comics and other MCU properties.
The first season of Daredevil was filled with Easter eggs, from the introduction of the Hand to the appearance of the Punisher. The second season of Daredevil was even more Easter egg-filled, with references to the comics, the MCU, and even other Netflix shows. One of the most notable Easter eggs in the second season was the introduction of Elektra, a character from the comics who had previously been portrayed in the 2003 movie Daredevil.
The third season of Daredevil was no exception when it came to Easter eggs. The season featured references to the comics, the MCU, and even other Netflix shows. One of the most notable Easter eggs was the introduction of Bullseye, a villain from the comics who had previously been portrayed in the 2003 movie Daredevil.
The fourth and final season of Daredevil was filled with Easter eggs, from the introduction of the Kingpin to the appearance of the Punisher. The season also featured references to the comics, the MCU, and even other Netflix shows. One of the most notable Easter eggs was the introduction of the Hand, a villainous organization from the comics that had previously been portrayed in the 2003 movie Daredevil.

For many Marvel fans, following the Marvel Cinematic Universe has become an experience of piecing together clues and Easter eggs—of dissecting dialogues and searching for seeds deep within the cinematics that could potentially germinate into a storyline in the years to come. With its second season released this week, “Daredevil” has done a remarkable job of enticing fans into a new side of the MCU—one that is grounded in a real-world setting and driven by morality rather than special powers. With an array of characters from the series having been featured throughout the various standalone MCU movies, “Daredevil” has successfully established itself as an intricate link between the MCU’s large scale cinematic films and its own universe-based episodic content.
Notably, “Daredevil” seems to have picked up where season 1 left off. Perhaps the most prominent Easter egg of the second season lies in the introduction of the absurdly easy-to-spot ‘Frank Castle.’ As soon as the episode began, it became evident that Frank Castle would be making Melissa Rosenberg’s script come to life as an occasional sidekick to the namesake of the series, Daredevil. Of course, Frank Castle’s origin story can be traced all the way to the mini-series of the same name which got released in 2006. Frank Castle, portrayed by British actor Royce Johnson, is the first character ever outside the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s main characters to appear in both movies and small-screen productions.
Furthermore, the second season of “Daredevil” brings out a series of enjoyable and exciting flashbacks. Many of these flashbacks explore the past of both Hugo Strange and Electro, two villains who were notably featured in the first season. Both characters were a part of the origin story which deeply shaped Matt Murdock’s character as Daredevil. What’s particularly interesting about these flashbacks is that both villains were a part of the MCU prior to “Daredevil.”
These Easter eggs come together to form an interesting and intricate web of interconnected stories. With Marvel’s unprecedented success, it appears as if the possibilities for “Daredevil” and its connection with the MCU endless. As the series progresses, it’s sure to lead to more of these clues, giving fans an even more interconnected experience and better-developed storylines. Considering the success that “Daredevil” has had, it’s safe to say that it is firmly cemented in the MCU and has asserted itself as one of the universe’s key elements.
