'Daredevil' season 3 release date, news, rumors: new episodes to feature 'Shadowland' arc?

(Facebook/Marvel's Daredevil)Will 'Daredevil' season 3 feature the 'Shadowland' arc?

As Netflix continues to stay quiet on the release of "Daredevil" season 3, fans are coming up with various ideas and theories on what will be featured in the upcoming installment.

The hottest rumors revolving around the potential plot of "Daredevil" season 3 suggest that the series will take on the "Shadowland" arc in the upcoming episodes. After Elektra (Elodie Yung) was killed in the finale of season 2, fans started speculating that Matt Murdock/Daredevil (Charlie Cox) will now trudge on a darker path.

In the comic books, "Shadowland" featured Daredevil's darker side. The 2010 comic book storyline saw Hell's Kitchen's hero going on a ruthless rampage in town as he has become the head of the ninja clan, The Hand. He also found himself face to face with Bullseye, which then resulted to the latter's death. In this arc, Matt also started butting heads with other superheroes in the area including Luke Cage, Iron Fist and Spider-Man. Will the same storyline be adapted for the show's third season?

Since the production team has not been given a green light by the streaming giant yet, the rumors are merely speculations.

On the other hand, most fans are hoping that the new episodes will feature the arrival of Bullseye. The said villain is one of the most iconic names in the "Daredevil" comic book series and he is quite a popular character.

Bullseye was able to defeat Matt once and he is also responsible for the death of Elektra at one point, and later on, the death of Karen. Will Bullseye's killing spree be considered for "Daredevil" season 3?

According to Screen Geek, Cox has revealed earlier last month that he would love to see Bullseye in the series. During an interview at the Wizard World Pittsburgh event, Cox said: "It's no secret, I've said it before and I get in trouble every time I say it, I'd like to see Bullseye make an appearance at some point. I think it's a really interesting opportunity. Deborah Ann Woll obviously does not want Bullseye to show up for obvious reasons. Elodie Yung, who plays Elektra, doesn't want Bullseye to show up either."

Netflix has yet to announce an official premiere date for "Daredevil" season 3.
