One of the definite highlights of the first season of Marvel and Netflix’s Daredevil was the gruff, unyielding appearance of Scott Glenn as Matt Murdock’s trainer, Stick. Good news if you were also a fan of the foul-mouthed, beat-down-delivering old geezer: he’ll be back for the new season.
We learned that Stick had helped Matt (played by Charlie Cox on the show) master his skills and learn martial arts from a young age following the death of the boy’s father. And that he’d walked out on Matt when the kid started to treat him like a surrogate dad; or at least try something approaching friendship. His re-entry into Matt’s life was marked by subterfuge, as Stick had a mission of his own to complete, while finding time to lecture our hero about going soft.
The old man is back. Stick is returning to Hell’s Kitchen for season 2. [#Daredevil](https://twitter.com/hashtag/Daredevil?src=hash) [pic.twitter.com/bnTPLBY1tF](http://t.co/bnTPLBY1tF) > > — Daredevil (@Daredevil) [September 16, 2015](https://twitter.com/Daredevil/status/644254671314354176)
What he’ll be up to in the coming season has yet to be revealed, but we’re certainly ready to see more of him, albeit working best in small doses. The cameras are rolling on the new episodes with Elden Hensen and Deborah Ann Woll back as Foggy and Karen and Vincent D’Onofrio set to appear in some capacity as Wilson “Kingpin” Fisk, now likely manipulating things from behind bars. New this time around? Jon Bernthal as Frank “The Punisher” Castle and Elodie Yung as Elektra Natchios, sure to be a big influence on Matt. The show will return to Netflix in 2016, probably launching around the same time as this year’s batch, which would put it in April.
