A “blink and you’ll miss it” moment from the fourth episode of Daredevil: Born Again season 2 has drawn the watchful eye of more than one person.
During the latest installment of Marvel’s revived Daredevil series, “Gloves Off,” Mayor Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) took part in a televised boxing match at Fogwell’s Gym. He’d told his wife Vanessa (Ayelet Zurer) not to come as he feared her life might be in danger, especially with the dangerous Benjamin “Bullseye” Poindexter (Wilson Bethel) still on the loose.
But Vanessa ignored his plea and showed up at a pivotal moment, distracting Fisk. When Bullseye finally made his move, Fisk intervened, lashing out with his championship belt to stop Vanessa from getting hit with a glass statue. Unfortunately, a shard of glass struck Vanessa, and she bled out in the ring.
As Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) chased down Bullseye, eagle-eyed viewers spotted someone notable observing the chaos, as the familiar silhouette of The Watcher appeared in the broken gym window behind Matt. Unsure whether The Watcher’s silhouette was a coincidence, most fans agreed it was a fun Easter egg regardless.
A powerful cosmic being fully introduced in Marvel’s animated series What If…?, Uatu The Watcher (voiced by Jeffrey Wright) exists outside of time and space, observing the alternate realities of the multiverse and helping viewers understand how small changes can dramatically alter events across the MCU. Was Vanessa’s death one of those changes? Or was The Watcher’s appearance simply a bit of accidental pareidolia?
After much discussion online, Marvel TV boss Brad Winderbaum decided to add a little fuel to the Watcher fire. Though he didn’t exactly confirm that The Watcher’s presence was deliberate, he did post a screenshot of the potentially multiversal moment, captioned “Always watching…” and tagged with the What If… hashtag.
Daredevil has been at the heart of several explosive What If… stories in the pages of Marvel Comics over the years. In “What If Daredevil Had Killed the Kingpin?,” Matt murders Fisk, with the tale exploring the limits of Matt’s moral and ethical code. Interestingly, Matt and Karen Page’s relationship in Born Again season 2 is somewhat strained by Matt’s reluctance to kill in support of their grassroots rebellion against Fisk.
We’ll definitely be keeping a closer eye on Daredevil as Marvel’s massive multiversal movie, Avengers: Doomsday, approaches!
