Marvel has confirmed the addition of Deborah Ann Woll for Daredevil, coming off of her run in True Blood which is currently broadcasting its final season. Woll will be playing the character of Karen Page, an enigmatic young woman whose quest for justice sends her crashing into the life of Matt Murdock, irrevocably changing his war for a better tomorrow against the forces of evil in Hell’s Kitchen.
Woll joins Charlie Cox (Matt Murdock), Elden Henson (Foggy Nelson), with Rosario Dawson and Vincent D’Onofrio (Wilson Fisk).
“Deborah Ann Woll is fiery, self-assured and inspires those around her–all words that perfectly describe Karen Page,” said Jeph Loeb, Marvel’s Head of Television. “It’s through Deborah Ann’s nuanced portrayal that we see just why Karen is not only important to Matt Murdock, but is a central figure in the war for the soul of Hell’s Kitchen.”
Plot concept: The series follows the journey of Matt Murdock, who was blinded as a young boy but imbued with extraordinary senses, now fighting against injustice by day as a lawyer, and by night as the super hero Daredevil in modern day Hell’s Kitchen, New York City.
