Actor Scott Glenn ("The Bourne Ultimatum," "The Leftovers") will return as Stick for three episodes in the second season of Marvel's "Daredevil," Comic Book Resource reports.
In the first season of the hit Netflix series, Stick was the one who taught a young Matt Murdock to control his new abilities and was a father figure in Matt's eyes. Upon realizing the boy's affection for him, Stick disappeared but returned years later when Matt had taken on his vigilante persona to recruit his help for a mission. Murdock begrudgingly agreed until he discovered that Stick's goal was to kill a child weapon. This sparked a fight between the two that left Daredevil bloodied.

It was also revealed that Stick was working for a mysterious figure that had an unknown interest in Murdock. That storyline was never touched upon again in season one.
Earlier this year, Glenn told CBR that the character of Stick was one of his favorite roles.
"Just in terms of acting, it's such an interesting, complex, fun character to play," he said. "And then to have the demands also of being blind and physical on top of that, that means both a lot of fun and also a lot of hard work. I was wiped out at the end of every day, which is a great way to be."
The second season of "Daredevil" will premiere on Netflix in 2016.
