Born Again” will premiere on Disney+ in the spring, however, it seems like a significant character from the first season won’t be making a comeback for Season 2. The showrunner, Dario Scardapane, recently celebrated the completion of production by posting a touching message on social media, expressing gratitude to various cast and crew members. Notably absent in his post was Elden Henson, who played Foggy Nelson, leaving fans speculating about his role in the upcoming season.
It appears that Henson will not be returning as Foggy in the second season of Daredevil: Born Again, given his character’s unexpected demise in the opening episode of Season 1. For more details, take a look at Scardapane’s post below:
Following his 38-episode stint playing Foggy in three seasons of Netflix’s Daredevil, Henson reappeared for the series revival, but his character’s arc was cut short. In the premiere episode, “Heaven’s Half Hour,” Foggy met an unfortunate end at the hands of Bullseye, a turn of events that left Matt Murdock temporarily unable to continue as Daredevil due to grief. This unexpected plot twist caused quite a stir among fans who felt deceived by the creative team.
Following the sad departure of Foggy, fans held onto hope that he might reappear. Unfortunately, this did not occur in Daredevil: Born Again Season 1. However, there are examples in the comics where such a return is possible. In “The Hidden Life of Foggy Nelson,” Foggy manages to survive a stabbing and agrees to enter the FBI’s witness protection program (some viewers speculated that the address for Matt, Foggy, and Karen Page’s law office served as an Easter egg hinting at Born Again adapting this storyline). Intriguingly, Scardapane stated that the show simply can’t be made without Karen and Foggy, whom he views as Matt’s family.
Two reasonable possibilities exist as to why Henson’s name isn’t mentioned in Scardapane’s post caption for Daredevil: Born Again Season 2. One theory is that the actor indeed won’t be appearing in the upcoming season. Alternatively, it could be that Scardapane is maintaining a secret to preserve the element of surprise. If Foggy is set to reappear, Marvel might not want this spoiled several months before the series’ 2026 premiere. Since the show doesn’t air until March 2026, there’s no need to disclose Henson’s participation at this time. Even if the character only features in flashbacks or dream sequences, keeping his role a secret would heighten its impact when viewers finally get to watch the show.
Viewers might feel let down if Foggy Nelson doesn’t reappear in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2. His interactions with Matt Murdock were a significant part of the original Netflix series, and it would be delightful to see them reunited. However, from a narrative perspective, keeping Foggy deceased could serve the story better. Previous comic book adaptations have used false deaths, but this technique can potentially diminish the tension and character progression that preceded it. Foggy’s death significantly influenced Matt and played a crucial role in his evolution throughout Season 1. Yet, there’s a possibility for Foggy’s influence to persist in Season 2, even if he isn’t physically present. Matt and Karen are forming an alliance to counter Wilson Fisk, inspired by Foggy’s fight against corruption.
