Who is White Tiger in Marvel Comics?
In Marvel Comics, the White Tiger mantle has been held by various characters. Hector Ayala, the first and most famous White Tiger, appeared in ‘Deadly Hands of Kung Fu’ #19 in 1975. He was a Puerto Rican superhero with superhuman abilities from a mystical amulet. Angela del Toro, Hector’s niece, took on the role in the early 2000s as a former FBI agent with similar powers. Ava Ayala, Hector’s sister, became the White Tiger in the ‘Ultimate Spider-Man‘ animated series and later in the comics, debuting in ‘Avengers Academy‘ #20 in 2012.

In Marvel’s ‘Daredevil: Born Again,’ the character Ava Ayala will be playing the role of White Tiger, who previously appeared in the ‘Ultimate Spider-Man’ animated series, where she joined S.H.I.E.L.D. and became part of a young superhero team led by Spider-Man.
Return of Foggy Nelson and Karen Page in ‘Daredevil: Born Again’
Recently, Elden Henson and Deborah Ann confirmed their return as Foggy Nelson and Karen Page for ‘Daredevil: Born Again.’ The decision to include Karen and Foggy in the series was reportedly made in January. Initially, they had plans to die off-screen in the first episode, but Marvel Studios later scrapped that idea.
Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead will co-direct ‘Daredevil: Born Again’. Recently, it was reported that Marvel is rebooting ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ with new writers and directors due to the initial approach not aligning with the action-packed style of the Netflix series. The SAG-AFTRA strike has further complicated matters, leading to the delay of the series release, originally planned for 2024. Only a portion of ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ episodes were filmed, and the series will be reworked, with some existing scenes and elements being retained.

The new cast for ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ includes Margarita Levieva as Heather Glenn and Nikki M. James as Kristen McDuffie, both of whom were love interests of Murdock in Marvel Comics. Notably, Michael Gandolfini will portray Daniel Blade, Arty Froushan as Buck Cashman, Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle/Punisher, and Genneya Walton as BB Urich.
