Aside from Charlie Cox (Matt Murdock) and Vincent D'Onofrio's (Wilson Fisk) involvement and the fact that it will (presumably) be at least partially based on the Marvel Comics run of the same name, we still don't know very much about the upcoming Daredevil: Born Again Disney+ series.
However, some interesting character breakdowns have now found their way online (via Daniel Richtman's patreon) which may give us some idea of what to expect from the show's supporting players.
The descriptions reveal that seven new roles are currently being cast, and while these names are most likely aliases to hide the characters' real identities, the first one - Aleck Wu - sure sounds like he might be a new take on Matt Murdock's mentor and sworn enemy of The Hand, Stick.
Check out the breakdowns for yourselves below, and let us know what you think.
"[ALECK WU] - Male, 40s-60s, Chinese American. Older, dignified. The kind of man you follow into battle. Imposing physical presence. Accomplished martial artist.

In addition to Cox and D'Onofrio, there are rumors that both Elden Henson and Jon Bernthal are set to reprise their respective roles as Foggy Nelson and Frank Castle, but nothing has been confirmed. Cox did recently suggest that Born Again may retell certain events from the now defunct Netflix series, however.
