Daredevil fans get ready! As the much-anticipated third season ramps up its production, some huge news just dropped. Deadline is reporting that everyone’s favorite shit-bag has-been mob boss Wilson Fisk, played by the masterful Vincent D’Onofrio, will be returning to torment the Man Without Fear once more. In addition to that, Season 2 and The Defenders showrunner Marco Ramirez is being replaced by The Man in the High Castle executive producer Erik Oleson as showrunner. Here’s Jeph Loeb had to say:

Vincent is an exceptional actor who returns with the incredible gravitas he brings to Fisk. We’re very excited how Marvel’s Daredevil develops through the creative lens and guidance of our new showrunner, Erik Oleson.

Also, check out this cryptic teaser from the official Twitter account.

D’Onofrio’s return to the show has long been anticipated with the actor teasing fans on Twitter on almost a regular basis. His return is an expected yet very exciting prospect. Things won’t look good again for Matt Murdock. The hiring of showrunner Oleson is an interesting one to us. Despite knocking it out of the park in Daredevil Season 2, Marco Ramirez had a less than stellar vision for The Defenders, giving us a very underwhelming product. Me and my DD best bud co-editor Rhiannon were a bit worried that a Ramirez-driven Season 3 would end up the way as Defenders. The addition of new blood to the show is a very exciting prospect to us. We can’t wait to see what Oleson has in store for ‘Ol Hornhead.

Trivia: Apparently, Erik Oleson co-executive produced a few seasons of Arrow, the counterpart of Daredevil in DC’s superhero vigilante TV.
