That wasn't at all times the case, thoughts you. Initially, Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson weren't a part of this present's solid; Marvel supposed Born Once more to be a completely new sequence that will solely reference the Netflix present in passing. Nevertheless, after Marvel decided to creatively overhaul Daredevil: Born Again in October 2023, Woll and Henson had been requested to return as their respective characters. Marvel hasn't publicly acknowledged how massive of a task Web page could have on this sequence. Nevertheless, followers concern for her security after leaked Born Again footage suggested that she may be targeted by a returning villain (extra on him later).
Some readers will know Woll from the favored vampire TV present True Blood. She's additionally appeared in additional of Netflix's Marvel sequence like The Defenders and The Punisher, in addition to horror flicks together with Escape Room.
Elden Henson as Franklin 'Foggy' Nelson
Like Woll, Elden Henson solely formally joined this present's solid after a Daredevil: Born Again image confirmed their return last January. As I discussed earlier, his character is among the three house owners of the Murdock, Nelson, and Web page legislation agency. Marvel hasn't revealed if Nelson will play an enormous half on this Marvel Part 5 present's story, both.

Margarita Levieva as Heather Glenn
The primary of many new faces to enter Matt Murdock's orbit, Margarita Levieva will play Heather Glenn, a therapist and Murdock's new love curiosity. Her character profile and backstory differ from how she's offered in Marvel comedian books, which depicts Glenn as a socialite.

Nikki M. James as Kirsten McDuffie
Becoming a member of Levieva on the newcomer record is Nikki M. James, who'll painting Kirsten McDuffie. Within the comics, she's a deputy district lawyer whose shut friendship with Murdock finally led to them turning into romantically entangled. Oh, and so they additionally arrange their very own legislation agency in Marvel's supply materials.
It stays to be seen if Born Once more will authentically adapt this a part of Daredevil lore however, given Glenn shall be Murdock's paramour within the present's first season, no person ought to count on Murdock and McDuffie to fall in love. Don't be shocked in the event that they cross paths professionally, although!
James shall be immediately recognizable to anybody who watched season 1 of thriller thriller sequence Severance on Apple TV+, the place she performed Alex. She's additionally featured in Confirmed Harmless, The Good Combat, and BrainDead amongst different TV applications.
Jon Bernthal as Frank Citadel/The Punisher
Switching again to some actors who’re getting back from Daredevil, aka top-of-the-line Netflix exhibits. Jon Bernthal, who made a reputation for himself in The Strolling Useless, is again as Frank Citadel, a US Military veteran-turned-vigilante who fights the felony underworld utilizing deadly pressure. Like Woll and Henson, I can't say how integral he'll be to season 1's overarching narrative. No matter position Citadel has in proceedings, it's certain to be a bloody and brutal one.
The Strolling Useless however, Bernthal has appeared in different acclaimed TV exhibits, together with The Bear on Hulu, and quite a few films like The Accountant, Sicario, and The Wolf of Wall Road.
Wilson Bethel as Benjamin 'Dex' Pointdexter/Bullseye
The secondary antagonist of Daredevil season 3, Wilson Bethel's Pointdexter is a mentally unstable former FBI agent who was molded right into a cold-hard killer by Fisk within the hit present's closing chapter.

Sarcastically, Bullseye was near-beaten to demise by Fisk within the season 3 finale after he discovered that Fisk was chargeable for his spouse's demise.
Sadly for Murdock and Fisk alike, Bullseye will return, with Bethel making a quick look in Daredevil: Born Again's gritty and brutal first trailer. Who is aware of who he'll be gunning for first.
Bethel was final seen starring in All Rise, however he's additionally appeared in The Astronaut Wives Membership, Hart of Dixie, and The Younger and the Stressed.
Ayelet Zurer as Vanessa Fisk
One other star who was requested to return following the present's artistic reinvention, Ayelet Zurer will reprise her position as Wilson Fisk's spouse Vanessa, who'll reportedly be estranged from her husband in the beginning of Born Once more. Per Enterprise Insider, she's taken over his felony empire in his absence, too.
Outdoors of Daredevil and its follow-up sequence, Zurer is understood for her performances in Moonhaven, Shedding Alice, and Cash Heist.
Zabryna Guevara as Sheila Rivera
Zabryna Guevara is about to play a personality who doesn't exist in Marvel comics, Sheila Rivera. She's believed to have ties to Fisk in Born Once more and based mostly on the footage and pictures I've seen thus far, I believe she'll be a part of the group attempting to assist him win New York Metropolis's mayoral place.
Guevara is most well-known for showing in Gotham, a DC Comics TV present that served as a Batman prequel and reinterpreted most of the Darkish Knight's seemingly infinite variety of characters. Extra not too long ago, she's been a part of the casts of New Amsterdam, Emergence, and Citadel Rock.
Arty Froushan as Buck Cashman
One other particular person I count on to be a part of Fisk's marketing campaign group is Buck Cashman, performed by Arty Froushan. Cashman will differ from his comedian ebook counterpart. In Marvel literature, he's a mercenary who works for the US authorities below the alias Bullet, but it surely's unclear if the MCU's Buck Cashman will finally change into Bullet.
Greatest recognized for enjoying Jonah Breakspear in Prime Video's Carnival Row, Froushan has additionally featured in House of the Dragon and Downton Abbey 3 amongst different tasks.
Michael Gandolfini as Daniel Blade
The son of The Sopranos star James Gandolfini, Michael Gandolfini is about to play Daniel Blade, who was revealed to be Fisk's protege in a earlier version of SFX Journal. Blade is one other unique character created for Born Once more.
This sequence is much from Gandolfini's first position, although. He's appeared in exhibits like Extrapolations and The Deuce, however his most well-known position got here in The Many Saints of Newark, a prequel film to The Sopranos that noticed Gandolfini play a youthful model of Tony Soprano, aka the identical character his late father portrayed in top-of-the-line Max exhibits.
Kamar de los Reyes as Hector Ayala/White Tiger
The primary Hispanic superhero to seem in Marvel's illustrious historical past, Hector Ayala is extra famously often known as his superpowered counterpart White Tiger, whose enhanced bodily skills manifest when Ayala wears a mystical amulet.
Kamar de los Reyes will play the character in Born Once more, which marks White Tiger's live-action debut in any big- or small-screen Marvel manufacturing. It additionally marks de los Reyes' closing appearing efficiency. The Puerta Rican actor died in December 2023 after a brief battle with most cancers. Different tasks he appeared in earlier than his demise embrace the TV adaptation of Sleepy Hole, The American, and The Rookie.
Genneya Walton as B.B. Urich
A younger, on-the-beat investigative reporter, B.B. Urich is the daughter of the murdered Ben Urich, who was killed by Fisk in Daredevil season 2. Will she discover out that Fisk was chargeable for her father's demise and, in that case, will she try to stop him from taking workplace? Solely time will inform.
Recognized for her roles in BlackAF, By no means Have I Ever, and Sweet Cane Lane, Genneya Watson's star is actually on the rise. Don't be shocked in case you hear extra about her following her supporting position in considered one of 2025's most enjoyable new exhibits.
Clark Johnson as Cherry
A retired New York police officer who works as a contract investigator for Murdock, the character merely often known as Cherry will assist the titular lawyer/vigilante crack a few of his most essential instances.
Final seen as a part of the solid of Evil, Clark Johnson has additionally had appearing roles in The Wire, Bosch, and The Protect.
Jeremy Earl as Cole North
One other particular person whose Marvel comics backstory has been barely altered for Daredevil: Born Once more. Within the supply materials, Cole North is a highly-regarded police detective who transfers from Chicago to New York and is ordered by Fisk to trace down and arrest any vigilantes working within the metropolis. In Born Once more, North shall be a corrupt cop assigned to steer the Anti-Vigilante Activity Drive (per Inverse), which can or is probably not arrange by Fisk. So, as I say, it's a slight tweak to his comedian ebook origins story.
As for Jeremy Earl, he's been part of the solid of Empire, NCIS: Hawaii, and Chicago PD.
Tony Dalton as Jack Duquesne/Swordsman
First showing in Hawkeye, Tony Dalton's Jack Duquesne, aka Swordsman, was the fiance of Kate Bishop's mother Eleanor. He was framed by Eleanor Bishop, who was working for Fisk on the time, for killing his personal father Armand. Ultimately, Duquesne walks away a free man after Eleanor is arrested for Armand's homicide. No one is aware of why Dalton will cameo in Born Once more, however my finest guess is that he'll be considered one of Murdock's shoppers who wants a hand to evade the legislation and/or clear his title.
An actor who's solely not too long ago began showing in English language tasks after a few years starring in Spanish language movies and TV exhibits, Tony Dalton is finest recognized for enjoying Lito's agent in Sense8 and portraying Lalo Salamanca in Higher Name Saul.
Mohan Kapur as Yusuf Khan
One other of Murdock's doubtless clientele, Yusuf Khan is the daddy of Kamala Khan, aka Ms Marvel. He made his MCU debut in his daughter's self-titled Disney+ present earlier than cameo-ing alongside the remainder of their household in The Marvels, aka one of many lowest-ranked movies on my finest Marvel films record.
One other actor who solely made their English-language manufacturing debut in latest instances, Mohan Kapur has been a part of the solid for films together with Life's Good and The Vaccine Warfare, in addition to quite a few Indian Hindi-language tasks.
??? as Muse
Now this casting is an fascinating one. A latest addition to Daredevil's rogues gallery within the comics, Muse is a serial killer who makes use of the corpses and bloody stays of his victims to create grotesque artworks throughout New York Metropolis. If there was any doubt that Daredevil: Born Once more can be totally TV-MA (that's 18-plus within the UK and M in Australia), Muse's inclusion proves it will likely be.
Anyway, we all know that Muse shall be a secondary antagonist within the forthcoming present. What we don't know, nonetheless, is who's been employed to play them. There have been rumors that Hunter Doohan, who was final seen starring in Netflix's vastly profitable Wednesday TV sequence, has been secretly solid as Muse, however that's nonetheless hypothesis on the time of publication. As soon as I do know extra, I'll replace this text.
