Comic book characters have come back from worse, and Scott Glenn told The Hollywood Reporter that he was told his character could always come back to life.
Eventually, Stick is killed by the resurrected Elektra, who he essentially raised as a girl to fight the Hand.
First introduced in Daredevil as the one who taught Matt Murdock how to fight, Stick is a blind warrior who has been waging war against the Hand for most of his life.
However, until he gets that phone call, he’s considering his days in the Marvel Universe over.
