After five years away, Deborah Ann Woll‘s Karen Page returns to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Daredevil: Born Again. The actor recently opened up about coming back as the fan-favorite Daredevil character after being absent from the original iteration of the Disney+ continuation.
When Daredevil: Born Again was first announced by Marvel Studios, the plan wasn’t to continue Netflix’s Daredevil. Instead, Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio would play versions of Daredevil and Kingpin, respectively, that were part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but not necessarily the versions from Netflix’s The Defenders Saga. However, while on a production hiatus in 2023 due to the actors’ strike, Marvel reviewed the footage that had already been shot and decided a massive creative overhaul was needed for Born Again.
This resulted in Woll as well as Elden Henson’s Foggy Nelson being brought back when filming resumed in 2024. Set photos from the actors’ highly-anticipated return alongside Charlie Cox quickly went viral online, with fans expressing excitement over the core trio of Netflix’s Daredevil finally being reunited in the MCU.

Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Woll reflected on the first scene she shot for Daredevil: Born Again, revealing that all three were extremely happy to be working together again.
“We’re just looking at each other,” she recalled. “We’re like, ‘Guys! We’re back. We’re here again. Can you believe it?’ I don’t know, just the joy, the absolute joy . . . I’m having good tinglies just thinking about it.”
Deborah Ann Woll was initially worried about reprising Karen Page in Born Again
Despite being excited to return as Karen Page, Woll admitted that she was initially concerned that too much time might have passed since she last played the character and that it could impact her performance.
“Sometimes when you’ve been away from a role for a while and you return to it, it can feel a bit like you’re doing an impression of yourself,” the actor explained. “I was worried about that, but I think because the three of us have such an easy give-and-take, that allowed it to be very natural and fall right into place.”
Daredevil: Born Again premieres with its first two episodes on Disney+ on March 4, 2025.
