Daredevil: Born Againis expected to focus on the MCU’s street-level heroes while centering onCharlie Cox’sMatt Murdock / Daredevil. According to a newreportfrom insider Daniel Richtman, aka DanielRPK, who has shared reliable information in the past, the series will also introduce White Tiger to the MCU.
Created by Bill Mantlo and George Pérez, White Tiger is a mantle in the Marvel Comics held by five different individuals. Hector Ayala was the original White Tiger, while his niece, Angela del Toro, and younger sister, Ava Ayala, later succeeded him. Kasper Cole and an unnamed tiger-human hybrid also carried the White Tiger mantle at different points in the comic books.
In DanielRPK’s tweet, the image of Ava Ayala’s White Tiger is shared, implying this iteration of the character will appear in the MCU. However, in the comics, Angela del Toro’s White Tiger is most closely tied with Matt Murdock / Daredevil. Murdock failed to defend del Toro’s uncle, Hector Ayala, in court, leading to a fight between her and Daredevil. Hence, the Angela del Toro iteration of White Tiger could be introduced inDaredevil: Born Again, with a similar storyline.
