Disney+ has been generating a lot of buzz lately with its upcoming MCU reboot of the popular Daredevil series, and a new on-set photo has just revealed yet another exciting addition to the cast.
The photo, which was released by People and shared online via Twitter, shows Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock standing alongside actress Nikki M. James, who is set to play a new character in the series. While Marvel Studios has yet to confirm her character’s identity, rumors suggest that James will be playing Kirsten McDuffie, a character from the comics who was the assistant district attorney and love interest of Matt Murdock.
This news has sparked a lot of speculation among fans about the direction that the Daredevil reboot will take, particularly in regards to the absence of some familiar faces. Neither Elden Henson’s Foggy Nelson nor Deborah Ann Woll’s Karen Page are expected to reprise their roles in the new series, which has left some wondering if James’ character will be a replacement for them.
However, it’s just as possible that Kirsten McDuffie’s introduction is part of Marvel Studios’ plan to focus more on the legal aspects of Matt Murdock’s daytime career. After all, the comics have always featured a strong emphasis on Murdock’s law practice, and it would be interesting to see the series explore this aspect of the character in more depth.
As filming continues for Daredevil: Born Again, fans are eagerly anticipating the expected Marvel Studios panel at San Diego Comic-Con, where they hope to learn more about the full cast and the extent of James’ role in the series. With familiar faces like Jon Bernthal’s Punisher and Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin set to return, along with a host of new characters, it’s clear that the Daredevil reboot will offer plenty of excitement for fans of the superhero genre.
Overall, it’s great to see that Disney+ is taking such care with this beloved series, and fans can look forward to its arrival on the streaming service in Spring 2024. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Daredevil or a newcomer to the franchise, there’s sure to be plenty of action, drama, and suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat.
