Currently, the cast is the main bit of info revealed about the new revival series, and it’s already pretty stacked.Daredevil: Born Againwill feature Charlie Cox returning to the role of Matt Murdock/Daredevil, with Vincent D’Onofrio also back in his fan-favorite role as the menacing and clever Wilson Fisk/Kingpin.Michael Gandolfini, who recently played a young Tony SopranoinThe SopranosprequelThe Many Saints of Newark, will also appear in the new show.

But now, two new faces have joined the fray.Deadlinereports that Margarita Levieva and Sandrine Holt have joined the cast ofDaredevil: Born Againin currently unknown roles. But while nothing has been confirmed, the source speculates that they may play love interests for the series' respective leads. There’s currently no word on whether one of them will replaceDeborah Ann Woll’s Karen Pageor play an entirely separate part in the story.
A Russian-born actress, Levieva has appeared prominently in shows likeThe BlacklistandThe Deuce, the latter of which saw her play one of the show’s leads, Abby Parker. She currently stars in Netflix’sIn From the Coldas Jenny Franklin. Meanwhile, the British-Canadian Holt boasts an impressive resume of her own,recently seen inThe ExpanseandBetter Call Saul. She’s perhaps best known as Gillian Cole in Netflix’sHouse of Cards.
The main details behindDaredevil: Born Againare still under wraps, though Cox has said that itwon’t act asDaredevilseason 4. This could mean that either it will tell a separate story with the same characters, or even that the Netflix series will no longer be canon. It’s unclear how such a decision would be received by fans. But given the positive response to Cox’s return as Matt Murdock in bothSpider-Man: No Way HomeandShe-Hulk, where he got to be Daredevil again, maybe audiences will just be happy to see the character in action one more time.
However things turn out, it’s clear that Marvel is putting a lot of effort intoDaredevil: Born Again. Clearly, the character’s popularity hasn’t diminished since the Netflix days. Here’s hoping the Disney+ series can recapture the magic.
Daredevil: Born Againis currently set to release in 2024 on Disney+.
