Daredevil: Shocking Revelation of the Missing Characters in 'Born Again' Explained - Prepare to be Astonished!

Summary

Karen Page and Foggy Nelson will not be returning for Daredevil: Born Again, leading to speculation about their absence in the MCU's Phase 5.

Karen and Foggy's absence could be attributed to a deal struck between Daredevil and Kingpin in the Season 3 finale. Kingpin promised not to cause them any harm.

A possibility exists that Matt Murdock may have fallen victim to Thanos' snap, opening the door for Kingpin to potentially harm or even kill Karen and Foggy without facing consequences. This could serve as a driving force for Murdock to seek revenge and overthrow Kingpin in the upcoming series.

Two key characters from Marvel Studios' upcoming Daredevil: Born Again will be notably absent, despite the return of Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio reprising their roles. Unlike other Disney+ shows, Daredevil: Born Again will consist of 18 episodes and is set to debut in 2024. However, due to the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, this release date may change. Cox and D'Onofrio will portray their iconic characters, Daredevil and Kingpin, respectively, continuing their intense rivalry. While the series will introduce new faces from the MCU, there has been speculation about the inclusion of characters from the previous Daredevil series; however, two important characters from Matt Murdock's story will be absent.

Karen Page & Foggy Nelson Won’t Be In Daredevil: Born Again

Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson made their first appearance as Karen Page and Franklin "Foggy" Nelson in Daredevil, both being Matt Murdock's closest friends and colleagues at the Nelson & Murdock law firm. Karen and Foggy played vital roles in Daredevil's journey, assisting Murdock in his professional and crime-fighting endeavors. However, the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Phase 5 will not see their return in Daredevil: Born Again, according to The Hollywood Reporter. While this might suggest the possibility of their characters being recast, such a decision would undoubtedly generate controversy among dedicated MCU fans. Nonetheless, Marvel Studios can provide an explanation for Karen and Foggy's absence in the upcoming chapter of Daredevil's tale.

The Blip & A Daredevil Season 3 Deal May Be Bad News For Karen And Foggy

Daredevil had three seasons on Netflix before it was canceled in 2018. The season 3 finale, called "A New Napkin," featured a intense battle between Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk at Fisk's wedding. Daredevil ultimately defeated Kingpin and made a deal: Murdock would not have Fisk's wife, Vanessa, arrested for the murder of Agent Ray Nadeem, as long as Kingpin agreed not to harm Karen Page and Foggy Nelson, and to keep his identity a secret. This could explain why Karen and Foggy are missing from Daredevil: Born Again, especially considering the events of the MCU's Blip.

A theory proposed by a Reddit user named Intelligent_Sail_896 suggests that Matt Murdock may have been a victim of Thanos' snap in Avengers: Infinity War, while Wilson Fisk, Karen Page, and Foggy Nelson survived. If Daredevil's death was believed, Kingpin could have used this opportunity to eliminate Karen and Foggy without putting Vanessa in danger. Although the deaths of Murdock's closest friends off-screen would be tragic, it would provide him with even more motivation to take down Kingpin in Daredevil: Born Again, and would explain why Karen and Foggy are mysteriously absent from the upcoming MCU series.
