Update Sept. 28, 2022: The character in this trailer previously thought to be Matador was later revealed to be El Águila.
Two Daredevil villains have been spotted in the latest trailer for She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.
Marvel Studios recently released a 30-second television spot for She-Hulk titled "Date." Marvel fans were quick to notice that the new footage included two classic Daredevil villains that have not been introduced in the Marvel Cinematic Universe until now: Matador and Man-Bull. Matador was originally a famous bullfighter in Spain, who swore revenge upon all mankind after his cruelty towards the bulls made the crowd hate him and led to a riot during one of his performances while Man-Bull became a supervillain after being ejected with an experimental serum that turned him into a humanoid bull. She-Hulk: Attorney at Law will mark the first time both characters have been portrayed in live-action and adapted for television.
Matador and Man-Bull are the second and third Daredevil characters to be confirmed to appear in She-Hulk after The Man Without Fear himself. Charlie Cox will reprise his role as Matt Murdock/Daredevil from previous MCU projects. The character will be sporting his iconic red and yellow costume from the comics. Besides a previous trailer for the Disney+ comedy series showing that Daredevil and She-Hulk will meet, not much is known about how the character will fit into the show. However, both Matt Murdock and She-Hulk's alter ego Jennifer Walters are lawyers which have some fans expecting the two might cross paths in the courtroom. Daredevil's involvement in the She-Hulk series had been reportedly planned over a year ago.
Daredevil Has a Bright MCU Future
Cox is also slated to return as Daredevil for two future Disney+ series: Hawkeye spinoff series Echo and a self-titled series called Daredevil: Born Again. The actor will reportedly appear in three episodes of Echo and sport a red and black suit. His story arc for the series is that he will be looking for a former ally, rumored to be Jessica Jones. Echo will also include Vincent D'Onofrio's Kingpin, who was recently spotted shooting scenes for the spinoff series. D'Onofrio will also return for Daredevil: Born Again, which will begin streaming on Disney+ in 2024. The first season will consist of 18 episodes, which is notably higher than the typical six to nine episodes most Marvel Disney+ series have received. It is unknown at this time if Matador and Man-Bull will appear in Born Again or if their inclusion in She-Hulk simply acts as an Easter egg for longtime Marvel Comics readers.
Tatiana Maslany stars in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law as Jennifer Walters, a single, 30-something attorney who also happens to be a green 6-foot-7-inch superpowered Hulk. The rest of the ensemble cast for the series includes Jameela Jamil, Josh Segarra, Ginger Gonzaga, Jon Bass, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Tim Roth, Mark Ruffalo and Benedict Wong.
She-Hulk: Attorney at Law premieres on Disney+ on Aug. 18, with new episodes streaming each Thursday until Oct. 12.
