Actor Elden Henson has confirmed that his character, Foggy Nelson, will not return in the second season of 'Daredevil: Born Again.' This announcement was made during a panel at LA Comic Con. In the first season, Foggy Nelson was killed by Bullseye, played by Benjamin Poindexter, while trying to assist a client. Despite fan theories suggesting a possible return, Henson's statement puts these speculations to rest. The series, which continues from the original Netflix show that aired from 2015 to 2018, features Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock/Daredevil and Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin. The first season premiered in March 2025, and the second season is currently in production, with a release expected in 2026.
Why It's Important?
The confirmation of Foggy Nelson's absence in the upcoming season is significant for fans of the series, as it closes the door on a beloved character's potential return. This development may impact the show's narrative direction and character dynamics, particularly for Matt Murdock, who shared a close relationship with Foggy. The series' continuation from the Netflix original has been a point of interest for viewers, and the absence of key characters could influence audience reception and engagement. Additionally, the show's progression and the introduction of new plotlines could affect its standing within the Marvel television universe.
What's Next?
With the second season of 'Daredevil: Born Again' set to continue from where the first left off, viewers can expect intensified storylines, as indicated by Vincent D’Onofrio's comments about the escalating tension and resistance themes. The series is also set to explore new character arcs and conflicts, potentially introducing new characters to fill the void left by Foggy Nelson. Furthermore, Marvel has greenlit a third season, which is scheduled to begin filming in 2026, suggesting a long-term commitment to the series and its development.
