On first trailer for Daredevil: Born Again carries Matt "Daredevil" Murdoch (Charlie Cox) and Wilson "Kingpin" Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio) front and center in the Marvel Cinematic Universe are mixing after their stints as supporting characters in various Disney+ MCU shows. While the pair are seen having a surprisingly friendly conversation over the former's retirement as a vigilante and the latter's political ambitions, the trailer makes no attempt to hide their eventual return to their classic superhero and villain roles. Further enhancing this effect are brief teases of other costumed characters, including a notably classic Marvel figure who has yet to appear in the MCU.

At 1:35 into the trailer, we see a man in a white suit and full-face mask, clearly preparing for a busy day (or, more likely, night) of street-level vigilante action. His ornate tiger pendant reveals that we are seeing none other than the White Tiger (Kamar de los Reyes).

White Tiger, known as Hector Ayala, made his comic book debut in 1975 and is known for being Marvel's first Latino superhero. While it remains to be seen how Daredevil: Born Again approaches the character, his release history gives him the potential to be one of the more interesting presences in the MCU — which we hope is the case, as the role is De los Reyes' last. The actor died in late 2023 at the age of 56.

In the comics, Hector Ayala is a college student who discovers a three-part amulet that grants him the power of an ancient being, the Tiger God. He becomes a superhero, but this career decision costs him anonymity and, ultimately, his entire family. A recurring theme in his career is that multiple vigilantes, loved ones, and authorities constantly think he's a murderer, so he must clear his name while fighting both crime and crime fighters. One of Ayala's wrongful accusations sends him on a collision course with Daredevil and ends extremely badly, and this particular arc looks like the one Daredevil: Born Again will likely adapt. If the MCU decides to take things in that direction, you can expect the story to be one of the most emotionally devastating on the show.

As for the power, the printed version of the White Tiger is not pressed. The amulet greatly enhances all of his senses and physical attributes and provides him with a reasonably effective healing factor. He's also a decent hand-to-hand fighter, making him a serious threat thanks to his powers. Some versions of the character also feature the moniker White Tiger as a superhero persona that has been adopted by different generations of the Ayala family.

Time will tell if his powers will rely on his Daredevil: Born Again amulet or if they're the same as they are in the comics — after all, live-action versions of characters like Maya "Echo" Lopez (Alaqua Cox) and Kamala "Ms. Marvel" Khan (Iman Velani) have very different powers than their comic book counterparts. Expect to learn more about the MCU version of White Tiger on March 4 when Daredevil: Born Again arrives on Disney+.
