Daredevil: Born Again trailer has just dropped, introducing some familiar and new faces and sending fans into a state of frenzy. One of the most talked about characters is White Tiger. Allegedly leaked images have made fans think that his character might experience a brutal end in the upcoming series. So, is it true?
Here are all the details about who plays White Tiger and whether he will die.
White Tiger, also known as Hector Ayala, is a vigilante in the Marvel Comics. He is portrayed by the late Kamar de los Reyes.
Ayala hails from San Juan, Puerto Rico. Leaving behind his hometown, he relocated to New York City and attended Empire City University. He learns about his superhero origins when he comes across discarded tiger amulets. He discovers that wearing them would transform him into his alter-ego, which boasts superhero abilities. His character is mostly associated with superhuman strength and martial arts.
Actor Kamar de Los Reyes was known for his roles in ABC’s One Life to Live, Call of Duty: Black Ops II, and The Rookie. The actor passed away at the age of 56 in December 2023, after battling cancer.
WARNING: Spoilers below!
Fans have speculated White Tiger’s demise in Daredevil: Born Again because of leaked images and videos and for comic storyline to come into play.
The rumors have stemmed from leaked images and videos from Daredevil: Born Again going viral online. The footage shows the Punisher, played by Jon Bernthal, (or might be his imposter) gunning down White Tiger, teasing his sad ending. Nonetheless, whether these scenes will be kept in the final cut or not remains unsure.
As Hector Ayala’s death would probably result in the mantle being transferred to his sister, Ava Ayala, as in comics, the speculations about his demise make sense. Nonetheless, this remains a mere speculation as of now, and the upcoming series release will reveal the fate of White Tiger.
