The fourth episode of Daredevil: Born Again could have left a more obvious track on a new hero in the Marvel universe, but was eliminated in the final version
A legacy that could continue
This week’s episode begins with the consequences of Hector Ayala’s brutal murder. In a shocking scene, Matt Murdock visits the morgue to recover the personal effects of his client, including the suit and amulet of the White tiger. Although the object is never seen in action, already in the previous episode it is said that it guarantees “great strength and speed” to its bearer.
Ayala’s death marks a turning point in the series, but her legacy could not disappear. During a conversation with Angela del Toro (played by Camila Rodriguez), the grandson of the late hero and the future carrier of the cloak in the comics, Matt Murdock suggests that someone could continue Hector’s struggle. However, the wink at the appearance of a new White tiger It may have been even more evident.
An amulet that gives answers
In an interview with Phase heroNachmanoff confessed to having originally recorded a scene in which the amulet of White tiger He lit up when Angela approached him. This visual track would have been an explicit confirmation that Hector’s legacy could continue through his grandson. However, for unknown reasons, it was decided to omit this sequence in the final version of the episode.
Despite this, the possibility that Angela takes the cloak in the future is still open. In comics, the character becomes one of the most remarkable successors of the inheritance of his uncleWhich suggests that Marvel could prepare her debut as a policeman in the coming seasons.
A promising future for Marvel Street Heroes
Although Angela del Toro could be too young to act immediately, the voices indicate it Born again He could present his team of urban heroes in the second season. With the threat of Wilson Fush and his AVTF (Task Force Anti-Vigilanti), it is possible that Matt Murdock needs allies willing to fight crime in New York. A small time jump could be enough for Angela to become a key piece in this struggle.

What happens to Daredevil
With each episode, the series continues to build a wider world for the universe of Daredevilincluding the possible introduction of new heroes. The decision to eliminate the lighting of the amulet scene could indicate that Marvel prefers to develop this arch of the plot in a thinner and more progressive way, leaving room for future surprises.
It was a good time to see the legacy of White tiger Taking shape, but with wonder you must always be attentive to the small details. Who knows, perhaps Angela del Toro’s fate is already written in the future of the series.
An exciting character to explore
One of the most interesting aspects of White tiger In the comics it was a title inherited from several characters. Hector Ayala was the first bearer, but later Angela Del Toro and Av Ayala also assumed the role. This allows the concept of the character to expand within the Marvel universe, providing new stories and approaches. In Daredevil: born againThe idea of an evolution legacy would adapt perfectly to the tone of the series, in which the fight against crime never ends, but is transformed with each generation.
Moreover, White tiger Has been connected to other urban heroes such as Daredevil, Spider-man y Luke Cage. In the comics, Angela has collaborated with these characters on several occasions, which opens the doors to future interactions within the MCU. If Marvel decides to introduce it completely, we could see that it is part of a larger group of road defenders, completing the narrative of Daredevil with its history of revenge and redemption.
