Sandrine Holt will be playing Vanessa Fisk, the Kingpin’s queen. Vanessa was previously played by Ayelet Zurer in Netflix’s “Daredevil.”
Matt Murdock has a prolific love life and “Born Again” will bring in some more of his comic book love interests. Margarita Levieva will play Heather Glenn (in the comics, a depressive industry heiress) and Nikki M. James will play Kirsten McDuffie, a bubbly lawyer whom Matt meets on the job.
Genneya Walton is playing BB Urich. In the comics, journalist Ben Urich is an ally of Daredevil; he even knows his secret identity. Vondie Curtis-Hall played Ben in Netflix’s “Daredevil,” but died by the end of season 1. Presumably, BB is a relation of the late Mr. Urich and possibly a stand-in for his usual comic role.
Arty Froushan will be playing Buck Cashman, aka minor supervillain Bullet. As for characters without comic counterparts, Michael Gandolfini is Daniel Blade (despite previous speculation he might be playing Richard Fisk, Wilson and Vanessa’s son), Clark Johnson (the aforementioned director) is Cherry, and Zabryna Guevara is Sheila Rivera.
Harris Yulin, Michael Gaston, and Marc Gellar have been cast in as-yet unnamed roles — whether they will still be included with the series’ overhaul remains unclarified.
