DAREDEVIL Star Deborah Ann Woll Addresses Karen Page's Future Following Recent BORN AGAIN Rumors

Deborah Ann Woll's Karen Page became a big part of Netflix's Marvel Universe and the Daredevil star has now addressed the character's MCU future following those recent Daredevil: Born Again rumours...

Daredevil: Born Again will feature at least some connections to Netflix's Daredevil, but it's become apparent Marvel Studios isn't going to let itself be beholden to creative decisions made by Marvel Television.

That's evident from The Kingpin's power upgrade in Hawkeye, not to mention the fact Vanessa Fisk has been recast. Then, there's the small subject of Foggy Nelson and Karen Page. They were a significant part of the original series but in the fallout of this new show's creative overhaul, we learned some troubling details about what's in store for them both. 

At the time, we learned [SPOILER ALERT] that the plan is for Daredevil: Born Again to kick off with the death of Elden Henson's Foggy. Some claimed Karen would also be caught in the crossfire, while others said she simply doesn't appear.

Either way, fans aren't happy and the hope now is Marvel Studios might take note. 

Karen actress Deborah Ann Woll recently spoke with Screen Rant and addressed the character's future on screen, all while largely avoiding answering whether she'll have a role to play in the upcoming Disney+ TV series.

"Look, playing Karen Page was one of the great roles of my career so far. I have such enormous love and respect for her, for myself, for the story that we created together. I think any iteration of Karen that comes back, if she comes back, if it's me, if it's not me, if it's in comic books, if it's in 50 years, whatever it is, I just hope that it continues to honor her. That you're never just the sidekick."

"You might not see the Karen Page story, but she's having a whole TV show on her own that no one filmed. Make sure that, for our characters, who are not superheroes or are not the lead fighter in that way, that we just continue to honor that they have full lives. That's what I really appreciated about my time playing Karen Page, and I would hope that if I got to do it again or if it continues, that people would have the same care for her."

"I'm so proud. I really am. I loved working on that so much, and she's such a cool, cool person. I miss her."

All signs point to Daredevil: Born Again being a fresh start for its title character in the MCU, and Karen brings a lot of baggage with her. It could be that Marvel Studios hopes to introduce a new love interest for Matt, with ADA Kirsten McDuffie a likely contender if what we've been hearing is correct. 

However, at a time when many fans are growing tired of the Multiverse Saga and finding plenty to complain about regarding Marvel Studios' big and small screen offerings, bringing Daredevil's Karen back for at least a cameo may be a wise decision. 

Daredevil: Born Again isn't expected to arrive on Disney+ until 2025 at the earliest.

Definitely a mistake to not include her, Foggy and Ben Urich.

@supermanrex - Ben died in Season 1.

@asherman93 - Ben died because Karen manipulated him into a situation which resulted in his death, then she was handed his job that apparently was so easy to do that someone practically no previous experience could just take over. And to top it of, she stole his car. I still don't understand how we're suppose to like this character.

@asherman93 - in the netflix continuity. this is a reboot.

@HashTagSwagg - That is exactly why I have never cared for the character...

@supermanrex - Not necessarily. Its currently a schrodinger's cat situation at worst.

If Marvel can continue with the Fox-verse stories and castings then they can continue with the Netflix one.

@SonOfAGif - They did.

@ClintThaHamster - Not exactly.

@SonOfAGif - Marvel won't be "exactly" continuing with the Fox-verse stories and castings, either. Both are bringing back the characters that make sense for the story that they want to tell.

@SonOfAGif - those castings aren’t making it to the MCU X-men movie, it’s literally for the secret wars crossover

@SonOfAGif - "If Marvel can continue with the Fox-verse stories and castings then they can continue with the Netflix one."

If you meant usage like the Fox-verse characters are getting then yes, no problemo, but you aren't in all likelihood, so move on. Barring a multi-verse treatment, the Netflix portrayls are dead. The major reasons are;

1) The Netflix stuff is either take all of it or none of it. Too much of it is crap; JJ-S2 & S3, IF-S1 & S2, & The Defenders. That's 6 good runs and 5 bad ones imo, (I'm leaving Punisher out of it.) That's baggage they simply can't live with.

2) Treating the prior runs as happening elsewhere frees up storylines.

3) Sticking it to Ike makes Kevin happy.

As always YMMV.

i thought she was good in the role. i hope her and foggy come back but only time will tell. This is really the only MCU show/movie that i care about right now. Just hope they get it right

She is a talented actress. I'm watching anything she is in. Would be a great addition to the MCU and would be great on screen on the Spiderman Side should he and Daredevil cross paths.

Still hoping that Foggy is revealed to be in witness protection after they fake his death.

If they do include Karen, please leave out the journalist thing. Keep her a secretary. There's nothing wrong with being a secretary we don't need to try and level her up. It adds nothing and it's just boring.

Wondered words from a very talented actress.

Lovely answer. But please stop asking her about returning as Karen.😭 It's not like she's going to break any news.🤣

@99OPTIMISTPRIME - Yeah, I feel bad for them every time they get asked a question they can't answer.

She did a great job in the Netflix series (although sometimes her script wasn't great). I'd love to see her come back.

She was great and her words of respect to the character show you she still gets her.

No Karen and no Foggy, no stream for me.

Bring back the old gang! Ooops! Oh, wait a minute, that's right we don't give people what they like and want because we think we're better than mass market pop culture entertainment, we give them what we think they need instead.

If it ani’t broke don’t fix it I think the saying is. Everyone just wants DD season 4 so why they think they can do better amazes me. I like I’m sure most other people want to see how Poindexter now fully crazy plays out as Bullseye. My only negative on the shows is they killed off Stick and Elektra who were superb and stole every scene they were in.
