A huge story spoiler for Daredevil: Born Again season 2 has already leaked online — and one of the Marvel TV show's lead actors is to blame for the faux pas

• One of Daredevil: Born Again season 2's biggest spoilers appears to have been revealed
• Vincent D'Onofrio, who plays Wilson Fisk, is responsible for the faux pas
• The incident occurred on the Daredevil: Born Again Official Podcast

Daredevil: Born Again season 2 has only just made its Disney+ debut — but a massive spoiler appears to have been accidentally revealed by one of its biggest stars.

The Marvel TV show, the sophomore season of which launched on March 24/25, returned with a one-episode premiere that largely lays the groundwork for more explosive events and shocking moments to come.

Unfortunately, it seems that one of said shocking moments has been revealed ahead of schedule. Potentially huge spoilers immediately follow for Daredevil: Born Again season 2. If you don't want to know what the incident is, I'd suggest reading my Daredevil: Born Again season 2 review instead, which gives you a flavor for the entire season without ruining any major plot points.

Does Vanessa Fisk die in Daredevil: Born Again season 2?

The apparent story spoiler comes courtesy of Vincent D'Onofrio, who plays Wilson Fisk/Kingpin in the Disney+ TV Original and is one of the first two names on the show's call sheet.

Considering D'Onofrio has portrayed Fisk since 2016, you think he'd be well versed in not dropping big spoilers. Indeed, he played the same character in all three seasons of Netflix's Daredevil TV series, and has appeared in other Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) projects in Hawkeye and Echo. Clearly, then, this isn't his first rodeo.

However, D'Onofrio looks to have put his foot in it and openly discussed that a major character will die in Daredevil: Born Again's second season. Speaking on the Daredevil: Born Again Official Podcast (watch it below), a companion piece that offers a behind-the-scenes look at the series' development, D'Onofrio and fellow lead Charlie Cox were chatting about the premiere's opening scene when D'Onofrio made the blunder.

"They [Daredevil and his allies] are just trying to make very small, incremental jabs at the Fisk regime and hope that something gives and allows a shift in momentum," Cox said. "And, the season begins with their first big victory, which is the [sinking of weapons-carrying freighter] Northern Star."

And here's D'Onofrio's part of the exchange, which starts at the 7:45 mark, and — weirdly — has been edited into this section of the conversation with no context: "So, Fisk's worry is that the public thinks — might think — that her death is preoccupying him."

Woah woah woah. Hang on, whose death? There's only one character that D'Onofrio has to be referring to here: Ayelus Zurer's Vanessa Fisk, aka Wilson's wife and partner in crime. She's not only the love of his life, but also the only individual who Wilson Fisk confides in. The only other female characters who operate in Fisk's circle are Chief of Staff Sheila Rivera and Mental Health Commissioner Heather Glenn, and neither individual's demise would draw the same reaction from Fisk that D'Onofrio alluded to in those remarks.

Comment from r/MarvelStudiosSpoilers

Frankly, I can't believe that no one at Marvel Studios picked up on the mishap. If they had, they wouldn't have released this episode of the Marvel Phase 6 project's official podcast with D'Onofrio's comments included.

In fact, the only other person — besides me, of course — who seems to have caught onto it is Reddit user Xenoslayer2137 (see the Reddit post above). If more listeners/viewers also notice and point out the error in due course, and/or this story gains traction, I'll be interested to see if Marvel and Disney end up pulling this episode of the podcast, remove D'Onofrio's comments, and re-upload it.

In the meantime, I've reached out to Marvel and Disney for comment on what D'Onofrio has said, and I'll update this article if I receive a response.
