Daredevil: Born Again Recasts 1 Key Character From Netflix Show
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has recast its first Daredevil character, as a new actress is playing Kingpin's wife in Daredevil: Born Again. The return of Charlie Cox's Daredevil and Vincent D'Onofrio's Kingpin in Phase 4 brought along new hopes that Marvel Studios could revive Netflix's Daredevil. Marvel Studios has since announced an 18-episode Disney+ series starring the two former Netflix actors, with recent news confirming that Jon Bernthal's Punisher is also heading to the MCU. Questions have remained about what other actors could return to their roles and if Marvel would recast any Netflix characters.
It has now been revealed by THR that Daredevil: Born Again has recast Kingpin's wife, marking the first time that Marvel Studios has recast a character from one of the Marvel Netflix shows. The outlet reported that Sandrine Holt (The Expanse) will play Vanessa Fisk in Daredevil: Born Again. The role was originally played by Ayelet Zurer in Netflix's Daredevil. It is not known if Marvel Studios attempted to bring Zurer back in the role or if Fisk's wife was always going to be recast for the MCU series.
