Daredevil: Born Again trailer has just dropped, introducing some familiar and new faces and sending fans into a state of frenzy. One of the most talked about characters is White Tiger. Allegedly leaked images have made fans think that his character might experience a brutal end in the upcoming series. So, is it true?
Here are all the details about who plays White Tiger and whether he will die.
Who is Daredevil: Born Again’s White Tiger and who plays him?
White Tiger, also known as Hector Ayala, is a vigilante in the Marvel Comics. He is portrayed by the late Kamar de los Reyes.
Ayala hails from San Juan, Puerto Rico. Leaving behind his hometown, he relocated to New York City and attended Empire City University. He learns about his superhero origins when he comes across discarded tiger amulets. He discovers that wearing them would transform him into his alter-ego, which boasts superhero abilities. His character is mostly associated with superhuman strength and martial arts.
Actor Kamar de Los Reyes was known for his roles in ABC’s One Life to Live, Call of Duty: Black Ops II, and The Rookie. The actor passed away at the age of 56 in December 2023, after battling cancer.
Is White Tiger going to die in Daredevil: Born Again?
Fans have speculated White Tiger’s demise in Daredevil: Born Again because Hector Ayala’s sister, Ava becomes the main White Tiger in the comics. So, the death of Hector could make way for her to come in. It would probably result in the mantle being transferred to her.
Since Marvel didn’t recast Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa, fans also think that Marvel could go with the same treatment for Kamar de los Reyes’ Hector Ayala. His character could also be killed off following the actor’s demise.
But all this remains mere speculation as of now, and the upcoming series release will reveal the fate of White Tiger.
