Major Spoilers for Daredevil: Born Again Episode 1
After the heartbreaking and brutal death of the beloved Daredevil character, Franklin “Foggy” Nelson, played by Elden Henson, in the opening scene of Daredevil: Born Again. Fans were rightly angry at the creators for bringing back a beloved character just to kill, but now it seems that might not be the case.
During an interview with Brandon Davis, Marvel Head of Streaming, TV, and Animation Brad Winderbaum confirmed that both Henson and Deborah Ann Woll will be returning to reprise their respective roles of Foggy and Karen in Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again. Winderbaum said that “without going into spoiler territory, I will say that both Deborah and Elden are coming back for Season 2,” and “I don’t think there’s a Matt Murdock story without those two characters, and I’m excited to see them both in Season 2 as well.”
While, I personally am still shaken from the abrupt death of Foggy but after hearing this news. I am even more confused because if they just bring Foggy back without a damn good explanation, it will be a bit frustrating, and if he just appears in flashbacks, then it will be even more heartbreaking.
However the creators behind Daredevil: Born Again decide to bring Foggy back, one thing is still going to get the fans angry and that’s why they decided to kill him in the first place. There’s an answer for that because initially, both Karen and Foggy were supposed to be killed off-screen, but as Charlie Cox explained in an interview with Variety, “If something this earth-shattering is going to happen, we have to feel it. This is more than an inciting incident. This is an earthquake. This has ripple effects through the entire story.”
When and how Foggy will make his return in Season 2, we have no idea, but we do know that Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 is currently in production. The first two episodes of Daredevil: Born Again Season 1 are currently on Disney+.
