As Daredevil: Born Again continues to round out its cast, the latest additions are two actresses who might just be playing established characters from the Marvel comic books.
According to Deadline, Margarita Levieva (The Deuce) and Sandrine Holt (American Gigolo) are set to play "major roles" in the upcoming Disney+ series. Though no official details on their characters were provided, the trade has heard that "they may be playing love interests for the leads."
If this is accurate, we assume Holt will play Wilson Fisk's wife Vanessa (played by Ayelet Zurer in the Netflix show), but there are several potential picks when it comes to Matt Murdock's significant other. Karen Page features prominently in the Born Again comic, but ol' Matt is known to be quite the lothario. Elektra is another possibility, of course.
The 18-episode series, which is being written and executive produced by Matt Corman and Chris Ord, will also star The Many Saints of Newark actor Michael Gandolfini and Colin Woodell (The Purge), with Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio set to reprise their respective roles as the Man Without Fear and the Kingpin. Alaqua Cox is also expected to appear as Echo, but that's yet to be confirmed.
No official premiere date has been announced, but based on what we've heard, Fall 2024 seems likely.
