This is the first time we’re seeing these characters on-screen together since the end of Daredevil Season 3 on Netflix in 2019.
From left to right: Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page, Charlie Cox as Matthew ‘Matt’ Murdock and Elden Henson as Franklin “Foggy” Nelson.
Late actor Kamar de los Reyes (he passed away in December 2023) plays Hector Ayala AKA the White Tiger, a vigilante superhero who makes his MCU debut via news coverage on TV.
White Tiger is notable for being the first Latin American superhero for Marvel Comics, the first US Latino superhero, and the first Puerto Rican superhero.
In the comics, White Tiger gets his mystical powers from three mystical tiger amulets (a head and two paws) which come from the extra-dimensional realm of K’un-L’un. When wearing the amulets, Hector’s physical strength, speed, stamina, agility, dexterity, reflexes & reactions, coordination, balance, and endurance were all enhanced.
It’s great that Marvel Studios chose to keep the iconic Netflix Daredevil opening theme music.
Wilson Bethel reprises his role as Benjamin “Dex” Poindexter AKA Bullseye from the Netflix series and shockingly shoots and kills several people, including Foggy.
However, Bullseye is somehow still breathing after falling off a building.
It’s beautiful.
It’s revealed that he has stopped being Daredevil since that tragic incident.
Vincent D’Onofrio reprises his role as Wilson Fisk AKA the Kingpin after already appearing in 2021’s Hawkeye and 2024’s Echo.
When we last saw him in Echo, he survived getting shot by Maya Lopez AKA Echo and it’s revealed that he is running as a candidate for the mayor of New York City.
This echoes (pun intended) the storyline, Devil’s Reign, in Marvel Comics when he was elected the mayor of NYC and outlawed vigilantes like Daredevil and Spider-Man.
Justice is served to Mr Benjamin Leonard Poindexter.
Let the Devil’s Reign begin.
Make New York great again.
It’s great to hear him acknowledge Spider-Man’s existence.
Matt Murdock stumbles into him and takes his case, promising to defend him in court.
And now she’s helping support the murderer of her own uncle without knowing.
Just like in the comics, the White Tiger gets his/her/their powers from the amulet.
However, Hector wasn’t wearing his amulet when he was entangled with the cops so he had no powers.
It looks like Matt will have no choice but to become Daredevil again.
There you have it, folks. There will be 9 episodes in Daredevil Born Again Season 1, so there are still 7 episodes left. Until next week, excelsior!
