Matthew Lillard confirms MCU debut in ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ season 2

Matthew Lillard is ready to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Daredevil: Born Again while still wants to be part of the DCU.

The 55-year-old has multiple projects back-to-back lined up, including Five Nights at Freddy's 2 set to release in December and then Scream 7, Daredevil: Born Again and Carrie in 2026.

Despite his busy schedule, the actor is always ready to join the DCU. He has been in touch with James Gunn, who recently directed a successful Superman film.

"He knows," he said of James Gunn, adding, "I've called, I just did something with Marvel, and I've now entered the MCU. I literally texted him, I'm like, if I do Marvel, am I still welcome to the DCU?"

"He's like, yes, totally without a doubt. I've told them more than once. I am so ready. I auditioned for Guardians of the Galaxy for Taser-Face. I just wanted to be in Guardians of the Galaxy so bad," the She's All That actor shared.

The Scooby-Doo star gushed, "I love that film so much. But look, all good things in time. My hope is that we find a moment to be together and work together again. I love everything he's doing over at DC. Superman was a crowning achievement. That's his love letter. He loves that property, and he should."

"I literally stand at the ready. I am whatever clay he needs me to be. Put me in, coach. So we'll see what happens in time," Lillard declared.

Notably, Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, Lillard took the role of Mr. Charles and is set to be released on March 4, 2026.
