Marvel Studios has finally unveiled the first trailer for the anticipated series Daredevil: Born Again, showcasing Charlie Cox in the titular role. The trailer, which debuted at Disney’s D23 event, is creating significant buzz among the fandom.
But what caught attention was a surprising cameo by none other than Mohan Kapoor, who plays Yusuf Khan (Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel’s father) in the MCU. This unexpected appearance could be a subtle hint at the possibility of The Marvels star’s involvement in the series as well.
Unexpected Cameo of The Marvels’ Star Mohan Kapoor in Daredevil: Born Again
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is prominent for interconnecting stories with different characters in the franchise and Daredevil: Born Again is no exception. Marvel Studios has finally unveiled the first look at the series for the crowd at D23 in Anaheim.
While already hyping fans with a plethora of things from the show, the Charlie Cox series featured a familiar face from Ms. Marvel and The Marvels star Mohan Kapoor, who plays Yusuf, father of Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel.
His appearance is surely unexpected, but his involvement could point fingers at the possible involvement of Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani). In a true MCU Easter Egg style, the show gave a glimpse of his attendance twice, yet kept his involvement in mystery. Check out the trailer released at the D23 Expo here.
The inclusion of Ms. Marvel’s dad in the show could suggest a potential crossover event within the MCU. Cox’s Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil, has long been a fan favorite, battling against corruption and crime.
A blind lawyer by day and vigilante by night, his street-level hero’s team-up with Vellani’s superhero who is more of a lighthearted character, could bring a new dynamic to the franchise.
Ms. Marvel Could Make a Cameo in Charlie Cox’s Daredevil: Born Again
Since the trailer’s release, Marvel fans couldn’t hold their excitement as they speculate that the female superhero herself might end up sharing the screen with the vigilante.
Given the MCU’s track record of crossovers, fans have high hopes for her involvement as they expressed the same on X. MCU fans expressed their thoughts on how Kapoor’s involvement could link the Ms. Marvel universe with Daredevil’s.

His cameo is also significant because this marks the first mention of Ms. Marvel in the MCU after the events of The Marvels. Although her involvement remains a mystery, fans can enjoy watching the character in the Disney+ series, Ms. Marvel and Brie Larson’s The Marvels.
Whereas, Cox will reprise his titular role alongside Vincent D’Nofrio’s Kingpin and Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle aka The Punisher. The cast also includes Sandrine Holt, Margarita Levieva, Michael Gandolfini, Nikki M. James, and Arty Froushan.
Daredevil: Born Again is scheduled to premiere on Disney+ in March 2025.
