It was previously reported that Daredevil actress Ayelet Zurer, who’s known for having played Kingpin’s wife Vanessa Fisk, was being replaced. Sandrine Holt was said to be her replacement as the new Vanessa Fisk. Now set photos seem to confirm that Sandrine Holt will be playing a recast Vanessa Fisk in Daredevil: Born Again.
It’s worth noting that Marvel has yet to announce Sandrine Holt as Vanessa Fisk. But various trades have reported her involvement as the character. Interestingly, the set photos do suggest that she’ll be playing a much different variation. Specifically given that her wardrobe has much more of a blue collar style to it.
