  • Episodes 2 and 3 of Daredevil: Born Again season 2 are out now
  • Marvel fans have two new theories after this season's double header
  • They relate to characters who are part of Wilson Fisk's inner circle

Daredevil: Born Again season 2 episodes 2 and 3 are out now on Disney+ — and they've spawned two new fan theories that seem to have more than an air of truth about them.

In the wake of this episodic pair's release, Marvel fans have taken to social media platforms to share their thoughts on the Disney+ show's latest double bill. And, amid wider discussions about where things will go next, some are in agreement about what lies in store for two individuals who are part of Wilson Fisk's inner circle.

Full spoilers immediately follow for Born Again seasons 1 and 2. Turn back now if you're not caught up yet.

1. Heather Glenn will become Muse 2.0 in Daredevil: Born Again

It's ironic that the only mental health therapist in Daredevil: Born Again is one of the show's most psychologically damaged individuals, but that's the hand that Heather Glenn, Matt Murdock's ex-girlfriend who now works as Fisk's Mental Health Commissioner, has been dealt.

After her near-death encounter with Bastian Cooper, aka the serial killer known as Muse, last season, it's clear that Glenn is still traumatized by said experience.

That's been made abundantly clear in the first three episodes of the Marvel Phase 6 TV show's second season. Indeed, Glenn has not only verbally lashed out at her patients (read: Fisk's enemies) during her sessions with them — a by-product of the severe post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) she has — but, in a surprise reveal, also kept hold of Muse's face mask following his death.

Unsurprisingly, Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) fans think Glenn is on a psychologically slippery slope that'll only end in one way: adopting the mass murderer's alias as her own, and becoming Muse 2.0.

"Heather kept the Muse mask?! No wonder she's cracking up," Reddit user deleteandrewind said, before Ok_Whole_3864 replied: "I think she’ll eventually put it on. Muse #2? I don't know, but she’s losing it."

"Heather, you’re so gonna be Muse," Redditor viibeShane interjected. "They’re not even being subtle at this point. Heather is definitely gonna become Muse," fellow user The Commish-17 wrote, before JayZsAdoptedSon jumped in to say: "Oh yeah, Heather is gonna be the second Muse. They are laying it on heavy."

2. Daniel Blake will die in Daredevil: Born Again season 2

The latest installment of Marvel's Daredevil TV show has the feel of a season that'll be full of collateral damage. Heck, one of Daredevil: Born Again's stars has already seemingly spoiled that a major character death will happen before season 2 ends.

Fans don't think that individual will be the only one who'll perish in Daredevil: Born Again season 2, though. Following the release of episodes 2 and 3, titled 'Shoot the Moon' and 'The Scales and the Sword', Disney+ viewers are becoming increasingly concerned for Daniel Blake.

Fisk's Head of Communications and Deputy Mayor has spent the last three episodes walking an increasingly precarious tightrope. Blake's clearly loyal to Fisk and his tyrannical regime, but his ongoing friendship with B.B. Urich, the on-the-beat reporter who works as something of a shadow operative for the Daredevil-led resistance, continues to cloud Blake's judgement. Indeed, every morsel of information that Urich leaks can be traced back to Blake. If he's not careful, one of them will come back to haunt him.

It's for that reason that those subscribed to one of the best streaming services believe he's living on borrowed time.

"Daniel is 100% gonna be the fall guy. Walking headstone," JayZsAdoptedSon said on Reddit. "Daniel might die before he gets any action from BB," The_Swarm22 wrote of the "will they, won't they" vibe that Blake and Urich's dynamic continues to give off.

"Oh damn, Daniel is cooked," NotTaken-username opined, before Adorable-Air-6901 amusingly theorized of the character's possible cause of death: "Daniel is going out that big ass window in his apartment."

Will Fisk eventually view Blake as a traitor and kill Blake himself? Or will he ask the unscrupulous Buck Cashman to dispense of Fisk's protégé once Fisk learns Blake is the one leaking things to Urich? I guess we'll find out if, as some audience members believe, Blake's days really are numbered.
