Check out all the major Easter eggs in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 finale.
1. Alias Investigations Makes Its Comeback
Jessica Jones returns to Alias Investigations after the final battle with Fisk concludes. The apartment and office served as a key location throughout her original Netflix series.
2. A Celestial Connection Between Premiere and Finale
The finale carries the title “The Southern Cross,” a constellation of four stars used for navigation. The name directly connects to the season premiere’s title, “The Northern Star.”
3. Fisk Revisits His Most Infamous Monologue
Wilson Fisk takes the witness stand and begins his testimony with “When I was a boy.” The recurring phrase has appeared since his MCU debut in Netflix’s Daredevil Season 1.
4. Murdock’s Public Confession Mirrors the MCU’s First Hero
Matt Murdock publicly announces “I am Daredevil” to the entire city during Karen Page’s trial. The moment directly parallels Tony Stark’s iconic “I am Iron Man” admission from the first MCU film.
5. Two Hallway Battles at Once
The finale delivers two simultaneous hallway fight sequences as Fisk and Daredevil converge on each other. Hallway fights became a defining staple of the original Netflix Daredevil series.
6. The Bulletin Is Back in Business
Mitchell Ellison reappears alongside The New York Bulletin in the finale’s courtroom sequences. Both the character and the newspaper played crucial roles as allies to Karen Page in the Netflix series.
7. A Corrupt Cop Turns the Corner
Cole North refuses Officer Powell’s orders and defies Fisk in the finale’s climactic moments. His arc mirrors the comics, where North hunted vigilantes for Fisk before becoming Daredevil’s ally.
8. A Familiar Date Night Spot Returns
Matt and Karen visit the string-light-filled restaurant from Netflix’s Daredevil once again in the finale. Panna II Garden Indian Restaurant exists as a real establishment in New York.
9. Harlem’s Hero Gets a Shoutout
The finale includes a direct reference to Luke Cage from the wider Netflix Marvel universe. The nod reinforces Born Again’s ongoing commitment to honoring the Defenders-era heroes and storylines.
10. A Terrifying Comics Villain Lurks in the Shadows
The finale features a subtle reference to Muse, the terrifying Daredevil comics villain known for his gruesome art. The Easter egg suggests a potential adaptation of the character in Born Again Season 3, with Heather Glenn likely becoming the new Muse.
11. The Real Bullseye Never Misses
The real Bullseye eliminates an AVTF agent disguised as him on Fisk’s orders during the finale. The moment carries irony, as Poindexter himself once impersonated Daredevil for Fisk in the Netflix show’s third season.
12. The Devil Chooses Forgiveness Over Fury
Daredevil stops resistance members from beating Fisk down and shows his rival mercy instead. The moment reflects Matt Murdock’s Catholic faith and his core belief in redemption for even the darkest souls.
