Is Foggy actually dead in ‘Daredevil: Born Again’?
Netflix series was abruptly cancelled, Charlie Cox is back as Matt Murdock in Daredevil: Born Again.Created by Dario Scardapane, Matt Corman and Chris Ord, the Disney+ series integrates the cancelled Netflix show into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with returning cast members Cox, Vincent D’Onofrio, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Hanson and Wilson Bethel.Cox and D’Onofrio have made various appearances across the MCU prior to this series, specifically Spider-Man: No Way Home, She-Hulk: Attorney At Law, Echo and Hawkeye.Daredevil: Born Again’s first season consists of nine episodes, with a second season set to be released in 2026.Daredevil: Born Again kicks off in dramatic fashion, with Bullseye (Wilson Bethel) shooting Foggy Nelson (Elden Hanson) in the chest during a night out with his friends Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) and Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll).As Daredevil scraps with Bullseye in retaliation, using his super-hearing, we gradually hear Foggy’s heartbeat stop outside Josie’s Bar as he bleeds out on the street.Based on this sequence, it seems pretty clear Foggy is dead – with the scene basically serving as an impetus for the entire season; Karen moves away to San Francisco, Murdock retires the Daredevil persona due to his violent outburst afterwards, and Bullseye is sentenced to life in prison.Speaking to Variety about the scene, Cox said: “We’re back with a new show, so you’ve got to be big, brave and bold. You’ve got to do something different and shake things up.
