Ayelet Zurer Comments on Being Recast in Daredevil: Born Again

Daredevil actress Ayelet Zurer has addressed her character from the Marvel Netflix series being recast for Disney+‘s Daredevil: Born Again.

The character of Vanessa Fisk, who Zurer played in all three seasons of the Netflix series, will now be played by Sandrine Holt. In an expired story on her Instagram, Zurer commented on being replaced for the new Daredevil series. The actress expressed sadness but said she’ll always be Wilson Fisk/Kingpin actor Vincent D’Onofrio’s “biggest fan.”

“Sad to not take part,” Zurer wrote (via GamesRadar). “But I will always be Vincent D’Onofrio’s biggest fan.”

Daredevil: Born Again is described as an 18-episode revival of the original Netflix series, which ran for three seasons. It will feature the return of leading stars Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio as they reprise their respective roles as Matt Murdock/Daredevil and Wilson Fisk/Kingpin.

Both characters made their Marvel Cinematic Universe debuts in 2021, with Kingpin guest-starring in the Disney+ Hawkeye series and Matt Murdock briefly appearing in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Cox also guest-starred in two episodes of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, where he got to show off a new side of the hero.
