With the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s (MCU) reboot series, Daredevil: Born Again, slowly becoming a reality, viewers are eager to learn more about the cast and characters. So far, Daredevil (Charlie Cox) and Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) are the only Marvel characters confirmed to be appearing in the show. Margarita Levieva, Sandrine Holt, and Michael Gandolfini have all been cast in the series, but in undisclosed roles. However, there have been several rumored characters as fans and insiders speculate on the show’s slowly growing cast.
One particular rumor suggests that White Tiger could be appearing in the series. The rumor took flight when it further alleged that Marvel was eyeing Jenna Ortega to take on the role in Daredevil: Born Again. Ortega has experienced an unprecedented rise in popularity since she starred in the Netflix series, Wednesday. Given her stardom, it wouldn’t be surprising if the MCU was keeping its eyes on her. Meanwhile, White Tiger would be a suitable role for her, as well. Fans have already begun creating fan art to prove it.
Who is Marvel’s White Tiger?
White Tiger isn’t a single superhero. Instead, the name is an alias that has been used by several heroes in the Marvel universe. The most recent individual to don the mantle of the White Tiger is Ava Ayala. Which iteration of the character Ortega was allegedly in talks to play is uncertain. However, the White Tiger whose story entwined most with Daredevil in the comics was Angela Del Toro. Del Toro is the niece of Ava and Hector Ayala, the latter being the first White Tiger. He gained his powers from three tiger amulets which were powered by the Tiger God.
