Who is Daredevil: Born Again’s masked villain, Muse?
Muse is a psychopathic and mysterious antagonist in Daredevil: Born Again.
In recent episodes, viewers might have observed a masked individual painting graffiti of Wilson Fisk, aka, Kingpin, in New York City. This individual appears to be Muse, whose identity has always been mysterious in the comics. He initially made his comic debut in Daredevil (Vol. 5) #11, published in 2016. As a twisted serial killer, he created unimaginable terror and chaos in the city by murdering and abducting various individuals, using them for his dark arts.
The latest episode titled “Sic Semper Systema” showcases a glimpse of Muse heading near a train track with an innocent man and later conducting the horrifying act of taking blood from his veins, causing his victim immense pain. Before the episode comes to a close, fans get to see a brief look at the menacing masked killer.
Who plays Muse in Daredevil: Born Again?
In 2024, a popular scooper claimed that Hunter Doohan, who currently plays Bastian in Born Again, would be revealed as Muse later in the series. Since then, several rumors have supported this theory. Furthermore, the final credits of the episode featured Hunter Doohan’s name as a guest star. Since he wasn’t seen anywhere else in the episode, he was likely behind Muse’s mask, seemingly confirming the aforementioned rumors.
Doohan is best known for his portrayal of Tyler in Wednesday. He debuts in the MCU series in Episode 2, titled “Optics.” He is initially seen sitting in the background during Dr. Heather Glenn’s book signing session. Later, viewers get a closer look at Doohan’s Bastian, who asks Glenn whether she is taking on any new clients. In response, she signs his book and provides her an email address, which subtly indicates that the duo will meet again in the upcoming episodes.
