Which MCU Characters Could Appear In Daredevil: Born Again? Small Characters Could Appear In Fun Roles Close The first MCU cameo in Daredevil: Born Again has already been confirmed. Yusuf Khan from Disney+'s Ms. Marvel is going to appear in the upcoming series. The character is played by Mohan Kapur and is the father of Iman Vellani's Kamala Khan, aka Ms. Marvel. The cameo was revealed at Marvel Studios' presentation at D23 2024: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, where the first trailer for Daredevil: Born Again was screened for attendees.
Yusuf Khan is protected by Matt Murdock in a scene where the character asks him what kind of lawyer he is, to which Matt answers, "a very good one," a callback to Cox's cameo in Spider-Man: No Way Home. While Yusuf will appear in the series, it is unlikely that his daughter will too. Ms. Marvel would fall under the "nothing major" aspect of the show's cameos Cox mentioned. As such, only small but fun characters like Yusuf are likely to have a chance of appearing.
There are a few MCU characters who could fit the bill. As Daredevil: Born Again will follow the tone of the original series and be very grounded, characters like Tony Dalton's Swordsman from Hawkeye and/or Eleanor Bishop, who worked with Kingpin and was arrested, could make an appearance. With the show being set in New York, Jacob Batalon's Ned Leeds from the MCU Spider-Man movies is another character who could appear, with Ned being somewhat similar in tone to Kamala Khan's dad. Daredevil: Born Again season 1's 9 episodes allow time for multiple MCU cameos.
Daredevil: Born Again After Charlie Cox's cameo appearance in Spider-Man: No Way Home and supporting role in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, Daredevil: Born Again gives Matt Murdock his first show set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Daredevil: Born Again, composed of 18 episodes, serves as the spiritual successor to Netflix's three-season Daredevil series and adapts its characters to the MCU's main continuity while establishing a new beginning for the superhero lawyer.
