Charlie Cox Reveals the Extent of Foggy’s Role in the Original ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Reboot & It’s Seriously Sad

One of the most talked about upcoming MCU projects is ‘Daredevil: Born Again.’ The show received plenty of hype as soon as its early development was announced, but shock soon followed when fans realized that the show wouldn’t be a continuation of Netflix’s ‘Daredevil’ show; it was instead meant to be a soft reboot.

Fans were also quite disappointed to learn that the show would feature quite a number of episodes where Daredevil does not suit up at all. The show was supposed to go in the direction of legal drama, focusing on Daredevil’s life after he drops his vigilante mantle, trying to put his past behind him, just like Wilson Fisk, aka Kingpin.  

The fact that Karen & Foggy weren’t meant to return to the series was also a devastating blow to the fans who have grown to love characters who were such an important part of Daredevil’s character growth.

Then, the announcement came that the studio was scrapping the current show due to being “a bit boring” and moving in a different direction altogether, embracing the comic-faithful version of the character. Much of what was already filmed was used, but much of the story’s elements were also created again from scratch, and plenty of scenes were reshot again.

Charlie Cox often spoke about how he was heartbroken that Karen and Foggy wouldn’t join him for the reboot, and several inside sources confirmed that both characters were set to die prior to the show.

Now one fan had the opportunity to talk to Charlie Cox during this year’s GalaxyCon. Cox allegedly mentioned that Elden Henson was supposed to be back for a cameo in one episode simply for the purpose of severing the connections between the Netflix show and the MCU reboot, meaning that he would likely die during this cameo.

This supports everything we’ve learned prior to the show’s reboot and confirms several sources that claimed that the original direction of ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ was extremely disrespectful to both Foggy’s and Karen’s legacy.

Now, according to some rumors, either Karen or Foggy are still set to die in the upcoming show, and we are really hoping that this piece of insider information is false! What do you think? Let us know in the comments below!
