Matthew Lillard is cast as the enigmatic Mr. Charles in Daredevil: Born Again season 2, playing a character originally introduced by the show. Despite being part of the cast, Lillard has stated that he is more interested in world politics than Gotham politics. He also revealed that he enjoys improvising and bringing idiosyncratic beats to the show, which he believes allows him to play well in the world. However, he does not share any scenes with Daredevil. The show's season 2 follows the previous season where Matt Murdock saved Daredevil from an assassination attempt by Mayor Wilson Fisk.
