Daredevil: Born Again is bringing another superhero back in Season 2. However, there's a twist — another character will play the role.

Daredevil: Born Again is the continuation of Netflix's Daredevil. The show marks the return of Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock/Daredevil. He is joined by his co-stars Vincent D'Onofrio (Wilson Fisk/Kingpin), Deborah Ann Woll (Karen Page), Elden Henson (Franklin 'Foggy' Nelson), Wilson Bethel (Benjamin "Dex" Poindexter/Bullseye) and Jon Bernthal (Frank Castle/Punisher). A new character joined them in the Disney Plus series that debuted earlier this year. The actor will return in Season 2 to continue the mantle of another superhero.

Daredevil: Born Again's Viewing Numbers Were Beaten By Another Marvel Series (But It Helped Disney In One Big Way)

Another MCU TV series has more views than Daredevil: Born Again, but Disney Plus is grateful to the latter.

In February 2025, Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 began filming. The actors have been seen in New York City for the production of the anticipated season. X user @RayyanTCG, a writer at The Cine Geek, shared a photo from the set featuring Camila Rodriguez as the new White Tiger. Rodriguez portrays Angela del Toro in Born Again. She is the niece of Hector Ayala (Kamar de los Reyes), the original White Tiger. Hector is killed by Sgt. Cole North (Jeremy Earl) in Season 1. Hector is wrongly accused of murdering Kel Shanahan after the latter died during an altercation. Matt defends Hector and the latter is acquitted. However, North cannot accept the court's decision and brings the matter into his own hands by killing Hector. Hector gains enhanced abilities through the Tiger Amulets, which Angela inherits following her uncle's passing. So, it only makes sense for her to return as the new White Tiger in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2.

Fans were happy about White Tiger's return. However, they were disappointed with Rodriguez's costume because it looked plain. In the snap, she's wearing a white hoodie and a black vest with matching black pants. Her face is covered with a black and white patterned scarf. Many feel that her costume is inferior to de los Reyes' White Tiger. So, some fans hope it's not her actual costume and that her look is just temporary. Another agreed, suggesting it's probably Angela's "makeshift costume" because they are hiding from Fisk. While the majority do not approve of Rodriguez's White Tiger costume, many are happy that she's back in Season 2 to continue the White Tiger's legacy.

Angela inheriting the amulets that made her uncle a superhero is not surprising. In Marvel Comics, the White Tiger has several personalities, including Angela. The White Tiger identity has traditionally been passed down through generations in Marvel lore. So, Angela taking over the role is passing the torch, and her decision to step up to fill the role her late uncle vacated is not just about vengeance but evolution and legacy, too. Her story in Daredevil: Born Again mirrors her origin in the comics because it's deeply personal, rooted in legacy, and morally complex.

As for Rodriguez's outfit in the leaked photo, it's likely that it is not her official costume as the White Tiger. She appears to be wearing a casual look -- a hoodie, a pair of pants, and a vest with a white scarf with black stripes covering her face. Also, she's wearing knee pads and elbow pads, so who knows if she's just biking in the scene. In the comics, Angela's White Tiger dons a white outfit with black detailing, outlining her gloves and boots. The stylized tiger stripes are noticeable on the arms, chest, and legs. She also wears a white mask with black detailing that matches her suit for anonymity, and the look enhances her feline, stealthy appearance. Angela's White Tiger suit version is more tactical than that of Hector in the comics. It has modern elements and visually sharper contrasts, reflecting her background as a former FBI agent. Overall, her White Tiger costume exudes elegance and mysticism while enhancing her strength, agility, senses, and reflexes for supernatural combat. Therefore, fans likely haven't seen Rodriguez in her actual White Tiger costume.

Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 is expected to premiere on Amazon in March 2026.
