That lucky devil. 

Marvel's upcoming Daredevil series for Netflix has cast True Blood beauty Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page, the blind hero's longest-running love interest from the comic books. 

The Page character, created by Stan Lee, appeared in the very first issue of Daredevil back in 1964. She was a minor character played by Ellen Pompeo in the 2003 Ben Affleck film, but she'll be the female lead in the 13-episode series coming to the streaming service in 2015. 

Charlie Cox (Boardwalk Empire) is set to play blind lawyer Matt Murdock, who becomes a costumed hero by night, while Elden Henson, Rosario Dawson and Vincent D'Onofrio are also confirmed. 

Woll currently plays Jessica Hamby on the HBO vampire series, which comes to an end this August.
