As production continues for the Netflix series Daredevil, Marvel’s kick-off to doing what they did on film with this group of individuals that will become The Defenders, a new on-set image has surfaced that gives us a look at Elden Henson as Foggy Nelson and Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page. Both characters are important parts of the Daredevil mythology and seeing them here it becomes pretty apparent that they’re getting a great adaptation in terms of visual design, particularly for Henson as Nelson.
In addition, Woll is out and about talking about the True Blood finale and the conversation comes up about how she’s handling the transition from the character of Jessica in that to Karen here.
“It’s been a really interesting experience, actually, stepping outside of Jessica. It feels sort of weird,” she said. “Jessica was like an old pair of jeans. I knew every rip, every stretched out spot. It just fit me just right after so many years. Karen, it’s going to take a little bit of time, but I’m starting to figure out how to fit into those clothes.”
“By Season 3, I could cry for Jessica at the drop of a hat,” she said. “I cared about her as much as I care about myself, so it was just very easy to go there. Starting up with the new character [Karen] now, I remember being like, ‘Why is this so hard? I thought I was really good at this. I thought I had this whole emotional accessibility thing licked because it had been so easy for the last four or five years.’”
“And then I was like, ‘Oh, right. I’ve only known Karen for like four weeks as opposed to seven years.’ I have to do this work all over again, and maybe in two years I’ll be at the point where I can cry at the drop of a hat for Karen,” she continued. “But it just takes a little bit of extra effort to get there, and making things even more real or higher stakes for yourself, whatever you’ve got to do to get yourself there. It’s a reminder of how special it was to do that one show for seven years.”
“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.
