Wai Ching Ho<\/a> — a longtime actress best known for her role in several Marvel TV series — has died … according to several former costars.<\/p>\n

Peter Shinkoda — who appeared with Wai Ching in “Daredevil” — shared a photo of the pair from the show … writing in the caption that he “learned every minute from you when we were together on and off set.” He added the two will see each other again one day.<\/p>\n

“The World\u2019s Greatest” star Judy Lei also shared her distress at Wai Ching’s passing … sharing memories from the film they worked on together — and noting Wai Ching never became frustrated with her lack of experience, jumping in with no inhibitions.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Wai Ching landed her first film role back in 1990 as a minor character in the Robin Williams<\/a> flick “Cadillac Man.” Over the next quarter century, she appeared in projects like “A Price Above Rubies,” “Law & Order: Criminal Intent,” and “Premium Rush.”<\/p>\n

Marvel fans will recognize her as the villainous Madame Gao in a trio of Marvel TV shows — “Daredevil,” “Iron Fist,” and “The Defenders.”<\/p>\n

Her turn in Marvel earned her bigger roles … like her appearances in Jennifer Lopez<\/a>‘s stripper-thriller “Hustlers,” Pixar’s “Turning Red,” and a five-episode stretch on “Awkwafina<\/a> Is Nora from Queens.”<\/p>\n

Wai Ching was 82.<\/p>\n
