Daredevil's cancellation may have ended this star's career

Since the series was canceled in 2018, Woll hasn't been able to land a follow-up role. In an emotional interview on the YouTube series Joe Q's Mornin' Warm Up, hosted by legendary comics artist and current Marvel Creative Director Joe Quesada, Woll opened up about her struggles with navigating the industry, and how the lull in her career has affected her.

"If I'm not acting, I'm not sure who I am," she said. "And since it's been so long since I've really gotten to do it, I'm struggling a little bit with how to maintain my self-worth, my sense of my own value... I haven't had an acting job since [Daredevil], and that's been really hard for me."

She also opened up about the toll working as an artist in a tumultuous industry can take. "I'm just really wondering whether I'll get to work again, whether anyone wants to work with me again... all of those scary things. And part of my brain goes, 'No, you're just being crazy, calm down,'" Woll admitted. "But the part of me that loves [acting] and the problem with being an artist and an actor, and any of these professions where you put a piece of your soul into your work, is that it becomes a part of your identity."

Anyone who works as a creative can relate, but what makes Woll's plight all the more shocking is the fact that she's... well, really good. If you never caught her work on Daredevil, you have doubtless seen her on any one of a number of hit TV series over the last decade or so.

If I was her, I'd start looking for another job. Her fate is not that different from that of Diane Franklin, Deborah Foreman, Jenny Wright, to name a few.
