My predictions for the rest of "Daredevil: Born Again"

After watching the first two episodes of "Daredevil: Born Again," I am going to predict how the rest of the season will go. These predictions aren't going to be in detail. They are just quick thoughts about how I think the show will go based on the first two episodes.

Spoilers ahead for those who have not seen the first two episodes yet.

My first prediction is that I think we will see more of Foggy in flashbacks. I believe we will see flashbacks about what Foggy was looking into before his death. I also think it will be revealed that Fisk was behind Foggy's death. I don't think it makes sense to only show Foggy in the first episode and not have him show up in the rest of the season. He is too pivotal of a character to only be relegated to one episode of the new season and that's it. We need to see more, and I have a strong feeling we will see more of him in flashbacks. As Matt Murdock gets closer to the truth about Fisk, we will see more of Foggy's perspective in the show before his death. Who was Benny? What were they talking about? How did Benny know what he knew? I think we will find out these answers as the season goes on.

My second prediction is that Daredevil's secret identity will be revealed. In the second episode, when Fisk gives a speech about stopping vigilantes, he mentions 3 characters in particular. Frank Castle (the Punisher), Spiderman, and Daredevil. Punisher's identity was revealed to the public in the second season of Daredevil. Spiderman's identity was revealed in No Way Home (but Dr. Strange wiped everyone's memory of the event). Daredevil's identity is the only one that has not been revealed yet. But I think that will change in Daredevil: Born Again. With Fisk in power as mayor, it will be hard for Matt Murdock to be Daredevil, even without the costume, and I think after the events of episode 2, Matt Murdock will be pursued by the law. I also think he will get caught somehow and it will be revealed that he is Daredevil.

My third prediction is that we will see Spiderman in some way in the show. Maybe not a cameo, per se, but we may find out some new information about Spiderman's whereabouts after the events of No Way Home. He was already referenced in Fisk's speech in episode 2, so I think it will be the perfect opportunity to have Spiderman to pop up more frequently in the show, even if it's just easter eggs and references. However, if Spiderman did make a cameo in the show, I think that would be cool. But if he does make an appearance, I feel that we will only see his Spiderman persona, and not Peter Parker.

My fourth prediction for the show is that Fisk will win at the end. He may not get a complete victory. There may be something that costs him significantly. However, I think Fisk winning and being mayor of NYC will shake things up in the MCU and affect the status quo of the MCU's NYC in a major way. It will make it harder for heroes to be heroes, and it may even lead to other cities in the MCU to crack down on heroes and vigilantes, because similar to real life, lots of cities get policy inspirations from each other. I also think Fisk winning could have major stakes in MCU movies, especially Spiderman. It would be interesting to see Spiderman fight against Fisk, like in the comics.

The fifth prediction I will make about the show is that Fisk's wife Vanessa will turn on him in some way. Their on-screen interactions in the first two episodes have been tense, to say the least. I think the tension will culminate with Vanessa turning on Fisk.
