A White Tiger show is reportedly in development at Marvel Studios, featuring a female White Tiger as the lead.
The male version of White Tiger, Hector Ayala, is set to appear in Marvel’s ‘Daredevil: Born Again‘ show, as reported earlier. A filming spot image recently leaked alongside Jon Bernthal‘s portrayal of The Punisher.
How many female White Tigers are there in Marvel Comics, and who are they?
In Marvel Comics, there are two female White Tigers. The first is Angela Del Toro, who is Hector Ayala’s niece and becomes the second White Tiger. The second is Ava Ayala, another niece of Hector Ayala, who becomes the White Tiger in the ‘Ultimate Spider-Man‘ animated series and later in the comics.
Is it confirmed which female White Tiger will appear in the new show?
No, it is not yet confirmed which female White Tiger will appear in the new show. Both Angela Del Toro and Ava Ayala have taken on the mantle of White Tiger in different storylines, so it remains to be seen which character will be featured in the upcoming series.
Angela Del Toro is the niece of Hector Ayala who inherits the powers of the White Tiger, becoming the second White Tiger in Marvel Comics. She fights crime and injustice in various storylines.
Ava Ayala is a character in Marvel Comics, either depicted as the niece or sister of Hector Ayala. She becomes the White Tiger after being chosen by the White Tiger amulet. Ava appears in both the comics and the “Ultimate Spider-Man” animated series, contributing to various Marvel storylines.
The ‘White Tiger’ show will be part of Marvel Spotlight, which highlights projects known for their grounded and character-driven storytelling. This initiative starts with Echo and will also include upcoming shows like ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ and ‘Wonder Man’.
Although Marvel hasn’t officially announced the show’s development yet, we can expect an update by late 2024.
The White Tiger show will premiere on Disney+, with the date to be announced (TBA).
‘Daredevil: Born Again will premiere on Disney+ in 2025.
