In a first for the MCU’s streaming universe, Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 will formally pass the White Tiger mantle from Hector Ayala to Angela Del Toro—two characters who have only ever appeared on Disney+. thedirect.com This unprecedented mid-series swap marks the only time in MCU history that a streaming-exclusive superhero identity has shifted between original Disney+ characters without a big-screen debut.
Set to premiere in March 2026, Season 2 will explore Del Toro’s journey as she inherits and embraces the White Tiger amulet, stepping into her uncle’s legacy with fresh powers and responsibilities.
While mantle transfers have occurred elsewhere in the franchise—such as Sam Wilson succeeding Steve Rogers—this is the first strictly streaming-based replacement. Fans are eager to see how this bold narrative move deepens the MCU’s small-screen sagas and sets a new precedent for Disney+ storytelling.
