The return of Elden Henson as Foggy Nelson in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 is officially confirmed—get ready for some exciting developments! After months of speculation and fan debates, Marvel TV head Brad Winderbaum has clarified the mystery during an exclusive chat with Entertainment Weekly. Fans can breathe easier knowing that Matt Murdock’s loyal friend and legal partner, Foggy Nelson, will be making a comeback in the new season.
At New York City Comic-Con, Winderbaum admitted how tricky it can be to manage spoilers and secrets. He explained, “People struggle with what they can reveal or keep under wraps. It’s always a delicate balance.” Thankfully, this confirmation cuts through the confusion and rumors that had some fans rolling their eyes about Foggy’s fate after his apparent death on the show.
Here’s where it gets controversial: last month at LA Comic-Con, Elden Henson himself seemed to stonewall any hopes for Foggy’s return, bluntly stating, “I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it’s just not happening.” This left many Marvel followers feeling misled and a bit disappointed, questioning the honesty of official information.
To recap, Foggy Nelson’s dramatic exit came early in Daredevil: Born Again Season 1 when the villain Bullseye shockingly killed him, leaving a deep emotional void in the lives of both Matt and Karen Page. That loss shook the foundation of the story, highlighting the brutal cost of violence in the Daredevil universe.
So what exactly does Foggy’s return look like? Is he truly alive? Will he appear through memories, flashbacks, or something more supernatural like a "Force ghost"? Winderbaum had teased Foggy’s comeback back in March during another interview, creating even more buzz.
He described the decision to kill off Foggy as one filled with intense debate and sleepless nights. “No one wanted to do it, myself included, but the story demanded it. Matt had to confront his deepest struggles, and that required a sacrifice like this. It’s true to the source material, where the consequences of violence deeply impact him.” Yet, Winderbaum emphasized the importance of Foggy and Karen to Matt’s story, saying, “There’s no Matt Murdock tale without those two. I’m genuinely excited to have both Deborah Ann Woll and Elden back for season two.”
Now, here’s the part most people miss: how Foggy will reintegrate into the story is still a big mystery. This opens the door to all kinds of fan theories and heated opinions. Will you accept a twist that challenges the finality of his “death,” or does it undermine the emotional weight of season one?
