Daredevil Born Again Season 2 May Have Elden Henson’s Foggy Nelson

Warning: The following post may contain Daredevil: Born Again spoilers!A Daredevil: Born Again season 2 cast rumor claims a fan-favorite character will return. However, this character’s involvement may surprise fans, as signs point to this individual being killed off in the first season of Disney Plus’ new MCU series.

Daredevil: Born Again started production with seemingly few connections to the original Netflix series besides the return of Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock/Daredevil and Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin. The most egregious omissions were that of Deborah Ann Woll’s Karen Page and Elden Henson’s Foggy Nelson, Matt Murdock’s best friends and partners (love interest in Karen Page’s case). However, after Marvel Studios reviewed the initial Daredevil: Born Again footage, they decided the series wasn’t working and retooled the project. Among the most significant changes was the addition of Woll’s Karen Page and Henson’s Foggy, to the delight of most fans.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps trailer and posters were released, but Marvel Studios had to respond to accusations against the promo photos.

The celebration was short-lived after the new Daredevil: Born Again set videos indicated that Henson’s Foggy Nelson would be killed by Bulleye early in the series. Despite the evidence, scooper MyTimeToShineHello (via ComicBookMovie) reportedly claims Henson will reprise his role as Foggy Nelson in Daredevil: Born Again season 2. However, MyTimeToShineHello was unaware if this meant Foggy Nelson survives Daredevil: Born Again or if he will return through flashbacks. As of this writing, official sources have not confirmed or denied this rumor.

Assuming MyTimeToShineHello’s claims are correct, there could be a handful of explanations for Foggy Nelson’s return in Daredevil: Born Again season 2. One potential explanation would be that fans are wrong and Foggy Nelson isn’t killed in the first season. Of course, the set videos and photos are damning, and Foggy Nelson’s death in Daredevil: Born Again was rumored long before the creative overhaul occurred. Some fans speculate that the Daredevil: Born Again team shot multiple versions of Foggy’s alleged death scene, potentially giving them the option to reverse course and/or have a different character meet their demise (possibly Karen Page).

Still, the most obvious explanation is that Foggy Nelson does die and that Daredevil: Born Again season 2 will use flashbacks for his supposed return. Foggy Nelson was Matt Murdock’s best and oldest friend on the Netflix show, so it would make sense for Matt to reflect on their friendship as he grieves. Regardless, the absence of Foggy or Karen is a worrying sign for most fans.

The relationship between Murdock, Nelson, and Page was one of the Netflix show’s strongest elements. Despite Daredevil: Born Again showrunner Dario Scardapane’s criticism of the Netflix series, the smaller character moments stood out just as much if not more than the stellar action scenes. Omitting even just one member of the show’s core trio could mean the new showrunner fails to recognize why fans loved the Netflix Daredevil series. It’s too early to tell, but Foggy Nelson will be missed by many if rumors of his death are not exaggerated.

Daredevil: Born Again premieres on March 4, 2025, on Disney Plus.
