Perhaps Deborah Ann Woll will be the next Daredevil star to pop up in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In the hit Marvel series, which originally premiered all three of its seasons at Netflix before its recent move to Disney+, Woll played the fan favorite character Karen Page. Her co-stars have since started to invade the MCU with Charlie Cox appearing in Spider-Man: No Way Home as Matt Murdock with Vincent D'Onofrio making his return as Wilson Fisk in Hawkeye.
There have also been new rumors of Disney looking to develop a new Daredevil series for Disney+. In any case, the door is wide open for other characters from the Defenders Saga to cross over into the MCU, with or without a Daredevil revival. There's no indication at this time that Woll will reprise her role as Karen Page, but in a new interview with Den of Geek, the actress makes it clear that she's ready to sign on the dotted line the minute Marvel Studios gives her the call.
“I loved playing Karen Page. I would gladly, in a heartbeat, pick Karen back up. Should [Marvel Studios] call, I am here with open ears."
Whether the rumors of the Daredevil reboot happening are true remains to be seen, but if the series gets resurrected, it would be vital to get Woll back on board as Karen. She was one of the key players of the original series, which also starred Charlie Cox, Elden Henson, Rosario Dawson, and Vincent D'Onofrio, among others. It's unclear if characters from other Defenders Saga shows like Jessica Jones and Luke Cage will also be brought into the fray.
Will Disney Soften Daredevil If Season 4 Happens on Disney+?
When Daredevil originally streamed at Netflix, there were no major concerns about censorship, and the series fully embraced its R-rated aspects. Charlie Cox recently addressed the potential revival at Disney+ and theorized that a new season could be toned down to more of a PG style. It would be a difference that might take some getting used to for the longtime fans, but Cox still supports the idea of bringing the series back this way, given his confidence in Marvel Studios.
“I wouldn’t put it past the folks at Marvel to be able to accomplish that. I’m such a fan of everything they’ve done so far, I wouldn’t underestimate them at all," Cox recently explained. "So if they wanted to make a more PG version of Daredevil, I back them to find a way to do where it feels totally in keeping with everything we’ve done. And maybe there’s a little less blood, maybe there’s a little whatever, but I back them to do it.”
It seems unlikely that Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio would both return in the MCU if this wasn't part of a grander plan to cross over Daredevilwith the MCU. We're bound to see them again soon enough, but will it be alongside others like Karen Page and Foggy Nelson? Let's hope so.
Daredevil is now streaming on Disney+.
