'Daredevil' Cast News, Spoilers: Marvel Announces Six New Characters Set to Appear in Series
Adding to the already high anticipation for Marvel's 'Daredevil' series awaiting its release on April 10th via Netflix, the studio has recently announced six new supporting characters that are set to appear on the show.
It is believed that only two of the six are actually comic book based, but all are set to play significant roles within the series. They list:
"From the comics, Rob Morgan ('Person of Interest', 'Believe') will play Turk Barrett, a smalltime criminal in Hell's Kitchen, while Matt Gerald ('Avatar', 'Dexter') will play Melvin Potter, a machinist caught between a rock and a hard place."
"Siding with Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio) are Peter Shinkoda ('Falling Skies,' 'Hawaii 5-0') as Nobu, a Japanese businessman with an agenda all his own; Wai Ching Ho ('Law and Order: Special Victims Unit,' 'Blue Bloods') as Madame Gao, a powerful woman running her own trade; and Nikolai Nikolaeff ('Camp,' 'Sea Patrol') and Gideon Emery ('Grimm,' 'How to Train Your Dragon 2') as Vladimir and Anatoly, two Russian brothers looking to forge new names for themselves in America."
It's not certain if these actors were recently thrown into the series, however it is highly unlikely due to the impending release date.
It is also unconfirmed in regard to when they will appear within the series, but from their profiles they should be scattered throughout the season from beginning to end.
Fans will get to view the series in its entirety on Netflix on April 10th.
