Marvel Studios continues to expand its interconnected universe, bringing back familiar faces from across its properties. Tony Dalton, known for his role in Hawkeye, is set to appear in Daredevil: Born Again, marking another crossover between Disney+ series. With Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin already confirmed, Dalton’s addition suggests deeper ties between Hawkeye and the highly anticipated Daredevil revival.
Tony Dalton’s Return Brings Jack Duquesne Back Into the Fold
Dalton will reprise his role as Jack Duquesne, the charismatic socialite and swordsman introduced in Hawkeye (2021). His character, a former fiancé of Eleanor Bishop, was initially framed for murder before ultimately proving his innocence. The specifics of his involvement in Born Again remain under wraps, but his presence hints at a complex political and criminal landscape unfolding in New York City.
Dalton’s casting was first reported by Variety. He is slated to appear in two episodes, possibly linking his storyline with Wilson Fisk’s mayoral campaign. Given Duquesne’s connections to high society, he could resurface in fundraising events or political dealings that intersect with Fisk’s ambitions.
A Stacked Cast of Returning and Newcomer MCU Stars
Daredevil: Born Again is bringing back several key players from the original Netflix series, reinforcing its deep ties to the beloved show. Fans can expect to see:
- Charlie Cox reprising his role as Matt Murdock/Daredevil.
- Jon Bernthal returning as Frank Castle/Punisher.
- Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page and Elden Henson as Foggy Nelson.
- Wilson Bethel as Benjamin Poindexter/Bullseye.
- Ayelet Zurer as Vanessa Marianna-Fisk.
Additionally, Mohan Kapur will return as Yusuf Khan, the father of Kamala Khan from Ms. Marvel and The Marvels. His appearance signals even more connections between Daredevil: Born Again and Marvel’s growing Disney+ roster.
New Faces Set to Shake Up Hell’s Kitchen
While the returning cast excites long-time fans, the series will also introduce fresh talent to the MCU. The newcomers include:
- Margarita Levieva as Heather Glenn, a love interest from Daredevil’s comic history.
- Zabryna Guevara as Sheila Rivera.
- Nikki M. James as Kirsten McDuffie, a lawyer from the comics.
- Genneya Walton as BB Urich.
- Arty Froushan as Buck Cashman.
- Michael Gandolfini as Daniel Blade.
- Jeremy Earl as Cole North.
These new additions will likely bring fresh dynamics, expanding the scope of Hell’s Kitchen’s crime-fighting and political intrigues.
Disney+ Sets a Staggered Release Schedule
Marvel Studios has mapped out a structured release plan for Daredevil: Born Again. The first two episodes will premiere on March 4, 2025, followed by a weekly rollout:
- Episode 3 – March 11, 2025
- Episode 4 – March 18, 2025

Daredevil: Born Again continues to build anticipation, not just for its return to the gritty streets of Hell’s Kitchen but also for how it interweaves past and present Marvel storylines. With Dalton, D’Onofrio, and Cox leading the charge, the series is shaping up to be a major event for both Daredevil loyalists and broader MCU fans.
