Summary
Rumored deaths of Foggy Nelson and Karen Page in Daredevil: Born Again lead to strong reactions from fans, who celebrate the show's creative changes.
Marvel Studios has allegedly terminated the employment of all writers and directors associated with the series because it was deemed excessively focused on legal proceedings rather than mirroring the thrilling nature of the Netflix adaptation. Supporters argue that Foggy and Karen play a vital role in Daredevil's essence, and that killing them off would undermine Matt Murdock's progression as a character following the third season.
Marvel Cinematic Universe fans are thrilled by the rumored major changes happening with the show Daredevil: Born Again. This excitement stems from the news that Marvel Studios has reportedly let go of all the writers and directors involved, signaling a creative overhaul. It appears that the reason behind this decision is that the show was veering more towards a legal procedural rather than the action-packed and violent tone seen in the Netflix version of Daredevil. This revelation has also sparked rumors about the deaths of Foggy Nelson and Karen Page, characters beloved by fans of the Netflix series. The possibility of saving these characters has fans celebrating and expressing their joy on social media.
@DDevilUpdates first spread the rumor, stating that the storyline of 'DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN' would have revealed Matt Murdock giving up his identity as Daredevil for a year following his inability to save Foggy Nelson and Karen Page.
@LachesisHD believes that the show's delay would not be a concern as long as Foggy and Karen are not harmed.
@Cytron2010 believes that the rumored deaths would have contradicted everything Matt went through after season 3.
@CharlotteWolf asserts that Foggy and Karen were the core of Daredevil, which justifies why Daredevil: Born Again failed to deliver without them.
@captaincupkicks desires the swift incorporation of Karen and Foggy into the show by the new Daredevil: Born Again team.
@Kristina4109 observed the surge in popularity of Foggy and Karen on Twitter following the speculation of their demise in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
@comicyehu refutes the rumor's assertion that Matt would relinquish his role as Daredevil following the deaths of his friends.
According to @simmon_c3, the fatalities would be devastating, prompting Matt to tap into his Daredevil persona as a means of evading the pain caused by losing his beloved companions.
Which Cast Members Are Returning For Daredevil: Born Again
Elden Henson and Deborah Ann Woll will not reprise their roles as Foggy Nelson and Karen Page in the original version of Daredevil: Born Again. If the rumored deaths of their characters are true, it seems unlikely that the studio would change its stance on such significant plot points, especially considering the reported issues with the MCU show and Marvel's desire to "keep scenes and episodes" while incorporating new content. While Henson and Woll are not part of the Daredevil: Born Again cast, other actors from Netflix's Daredevil will be appearing.
Charlie Cox has returned to the MCU as Matt Murdock, first appearing in Spider-Man: No Way Home, and will also feature in two episodes of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law before beginning filming for Daredevil: Born Again. Joining him on the show are two other Netflix Daredevil actors, Vincent D'Onofrio as Kingpin and Jon Bernthal as the Punisher. Although D'Onofrio has already reprised his role as Wilson Fisk in Hawkeye, Daredevil: Born Again will mark Bernthal's first appearance as Frank Castle since The Punisher's cancellation.
Jessica Jones actress Krysten Ritter has attended fan conventions alongside Cox and D'Onofrio, sparking speculation about her potential return in the Marvel series. If Bernthal's Punisher makes a comeback, it could pave the way for other Netflix heroes like Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist to return as well. However, there is currently no concrete information about their possible returns. It is possible that the reworking of Daredevil: Born Again to align more closely with the Netflix show may bring back other heroes and potentially save Foggy and Karen from their rumored deaths.
