Charlie Cox on fans theorizing that Foggy Nelson is still alive in the MCU: “Daredevil heard his heart stop. He’s dead. I’m sorry. I’m very sad. I am. I love that theory, but it’s wrong.”
Don’t really see how it’s coping to wonder if a comic property is going to incorporate a comic storyline.
This just seems like an easy response to dismiss anyone who dares to interact with the marvel universe outside of the MCU
_Fizzy2025-11-25 22:06
If they bring Foggy back somehow, I’m honestly all for it. I loved the actors portrayal.
I was more thinking of the “he’s still alive” theory. Resurrected somehow? Sure! Gimme your wild theories! He’s not actually dead? Oh. Cool, I guess?
Edit to clarify: I prefer it not to be retconned, basically.
ggg7302025-11-25 23:44
How is it coping? It's not like comic books are known for keeping dead people dead.

Come on, Charlie, they’ll hand wave it away if they want the character back.
NowWeGetSerious2025-11-25 20:23
It's a comic book show/universe
Just make him a LMD or some shit and the fans will eat it up lol
jerem17342025-11-25 20:28
Isn't the born again show based on the comic run where foggy fakes his death?
NowWeGetSerious2025-11-25 20:29
I do believe so, but I'll be honest, I grew up with shield comics, and hulk, Spiderman and F4 stuff
Not up big on the Daredevil lore, and comic runs
Only read a handful
Jet-Let46062025-11-25 20:35
Not based. But there was a comic story where Foggy seemingly died but later turned out alive.
Devil In Cell Block D. The story arc where DD, Fisk and Frank were all in prison together.
There has been a few indirect references to this story arc; Kingpin being in Cell Block D is S2, Frank meeting Fisk in S2 and Iron Fist filling in for Daredevil in IFS2.
NotTheRocketman2025-11-25 20:59
Part of a great run by Ed Brubaker.

...and I'm pretty sure Karen dies for real
Cardinal_and_Plum2025-11-25 21:17
She does, but her death would have happened in S3. They killed off father Lantham in her place. Same way too.
Meizas2025-11-25 21:43
Ohhh right. Isn't S3 more the story of Born Again?
Cardinal_and_Plum2025-11-25 21:45
Yeah. When it comes to the new series, Born Again was kind of just a catchy title that fit well from a meta perspective.
Uncanny_Doom2025-11-25 21:25
Born Again is not based on the comic run where Foggy fakes his death, no.
The Secret Life of Foggy Nelson happens in Ed Brubaker's run. The only real element in Born Again that exists in Brubaker's comic run are Angela Del Toro and Hector Ayala, the White Tigers.
That being said, there have been some things fans have found that they believe (and could be) clues referencing that story. The visual of Foggy's death itself has been referenced by Marvel's own social media comparing the comic with a nod to the issue number in the show too.
Clamsadness2025-11-25 20:36
That kind of stuff works in the comics because they’re a fundamentally different medium. Comics fans acknowledge generally that by trying to keep a single canon going for 80 years, you’ll need to take some wild swings to get back to status quo. Since the movies and shows don’t necessarily need to revert to status quo every few years, they can let a big character just die for real.

IT_scrub2025-11-25 20:33
Yes but if he was coming back, why would Cox spoil that?
privatejacques2025-11-25 21:14
Seriously. It's so annoying. "Hey Charlie why don't you go ahead and spoil your show for us!" 🙄
Uncanny_Doom2025-11-25 20:45
Of course they *can* do it, but what is the *reason* to do it other than sating fans that can't get over it?
Like I understand people love Foggy but at the same time people who think that you can't tell a Daredevil story of merit without Foggy are wrong.
I do also wanna point out Charlie Cox has 100% read the story where Foggy's death was faked and is not going to obviously spoil if Foggy is coming back but I think it's harder to do something good with faking his death than it is with living with it.
ThatTrampolineboy2025-11-25 21:13
The biggest problem with Foggy’s death is that it was so sudden with no buildup not only for his death but also a new character to replace him. All we got was a 20 min bar shot of McDuffie to get used to her over his old partner of 3 seasons. Given the disconnect that eventually happened where we are fighting Muse for 3 episodes and then the sudden flip back to Bullseye, felt like Season 2 but with even less cohesion.
Uncanny_Doom2025-11-25 21:16
I wouldn't say a new character replaced him at all. Matt does not have a new best friend and Foggy's death looms over his character and the story of the show.
And either way the solution to any issues had with Foggy's death being bringing him back doesn't really check out to me.
CaptHayfever2025-11-25 21:20
This exactly. Matt doesn't really get along that well with McDuffie.
Clamsadness2025-11-25 21:41
Agreed. In fact, it’s the impact Foggy’s death had on the show that made me ok with it. Yeah there wasn’t build-up, but that’s just how death can be. Foggy’s death was the inciting incident and it had a huge impact on Matt’s journey and growth.
Kagir2025-11-25 22:55
This 100%. Some deaths take a very long time to get over. When my former gf passed away it took me a while to find peace with it.
Matt is going through a hell of a time, Foggy being killed by an old enemy rubbing even more salt in the wound. And Fisk trying to destroy his life indirectly made his world come crashing down. He’s at the very bottom. So yeah, the season being a bit clunky makes sense.
crimsonmail2025-11-25 21:52
Who said McDuffie was meant to be a Foggy replacement? Matt isn't allowed to work with other lawyers anymore? You're acting like they made Kirsten Matt's BFF
AnOnlineHandle2025-11-26 03:02
Apparently there's literally a comic book storyline where Bullsye kills Foggy on orders from Vanessa Fisk, and Daredevil hears his heart stop, and then it turns out Foggy was in witness protection building a case against Fisk, so...
There's at least one reason to think they might be doing that.
Uncanny_Doom2025-11-26 07:46
It's random inmates that kill Foggy when he goes to visit Matt in prison, not Bullseye. Bullseye is actually also with Matt in prison during that story. It's true that Vanessa ordered it in the comics though.
KingofMadCows2025-11-25 21:08
The devil's in the details.
Jaideco2025-11-25 21:55
Is he more or less dead than Elektra was before she came back? Just out of interest…
Weird_Angry_Kid2025-11-25 22:15
Nick Fury literally took a toxin like that in Winter Soldier to fake his death.
kabhaz2025-11-26 00:32
Haven't read the story in a while but pretty sure they did exactly something like this when they killed him in the comic run
elvinjoker2025-11-26 01:01
Or bring him back with multiverse or magic
Mcu have limitless opinions if they want
notanewbiedude2025-11-26 01:21
WAIT we're getting The Hand back (allegedly) so maybe that's how he could come back
Resolution_Powerful2025-11-25 20:23
Uh wasn't it in the comics that came back alive?
AdditionalBanana95852025-11-25 20:32
Yeah. But those are the comics.
KostisPat2572025-11-25 20:24
I mean it's been confirmed multiple times now by Brad Winderbaum that Foggy is coming back in Season 2 in some capacity, so I'm inclined to believe it's because they'll bring him back. Something similar happens in the comics and Vanessa is involved with his death and revival there too. They clearly set that up in the finale of Season 1 with the reveal that Vanessa ordered the kill on Foggy.
JaesopPop2025-11-25 20:28
>so I'm inclined to believe it's because they'll bring him back
Seems wildly more likely it's for flashbacks.
Upbeat_Tension_80772025-11-25 20:30
I'm thinking it's this, primarily done in a way that'll connect to Murdock fully regaining his mojo for his comeback against Fisk
Burgoonius2025-11-25 20:44
Yeah that was my theory as well. Probably just flashbacks
sendhelp2025-11-25 20:28
It could just be flashbacks or something but I'm inclined to think there was something that made his heart temporarily stopped or he was revived later because that's what they do with these comic things, they can bring characters back if they really want to. And if they really wanted to undo a death they could just bring in some alternate universe variant (although I doubt they'd do that in the sort of grounded daredevil show despite being in the same MCU)
Rman8232025-11-25 20:28
Foggy’s return is most likely related to flashbacks. People who have seen the footage of S2 have even said the shot of him looked closer to how he did in the original show. They can adapt elements from the comics without doing the whole thing, something the MCU’s done multiple times.
OjamasOfTomorrow2025-11-25 22:10
Based on many shows doing something similar, it’ll be either flashbacks or hallucinations. I get there is comic stuff, but I’ll be shocked if he comes back fully.
eagc72025-11-26 01:13
We know there is gonna be a flashback scene set during Season 1 era, so that is how Foggy appears
xeecho2025-11-25 20:24
SO HE IS ALIVE!
argama872025-11-25 20:24
He was only mostly dead.
LeadingAccording67482025-11-25 20:25
Killing Foggy was one of the worst things they did in BORN again, I hope whatever writer came up with doing that isn't part of season 2
Jet-Let46062025-11-25 20:37
That right. Foggy should be born again.
eagc72025-11-26 01:11
Its a bit complicated, since the original team who developed the original version which had Foggy die off-screen were fired
Then they got a new creative team to overhaul the show and write a new pilot and the last 2 episodes and they are the ones developing Season 2, but because they couldn't scrap what the original team filming (otherwise the budget would blow up) and Foggy's passing was still a core factor in the original version, they still had to keep Foggy's death and wrote the episode that showed his death (Instead of again just having it happen off-screen) it was a lose-lose situation for Foggy fans as there really was no way out that didn't involved a Josstice League/Solo situation
santa99912025-11-25 20:27
Good
I thought the whole concept was pretty weak. And very out of character for foggy
Love Foggy, but they commuted to killing him, I’d rather they stick with that and deal with the consequences for the characters then hand wave It away
JaesopPop2025-11-25 20:28
>And very out of character for foggy
...to die?
santa99912025-11-25 20:29
To deceive Matt and Karen in that way
Matt tried to kill dex and broke his whole code. The trauma they’d both deal with after his death isn’t something foggy would put them through
JaesopPop2025-11-25 20:33
>The trauma they’d both deal with after his death isn’t something foggy would put them through
I mean he didn't intend to die...
Jet-Let46062025-11-25 20:36
Unless he did it against his will.
Worthyness2025-11-25 22:29
in the comics he basically had to go into witness protection when he faked his death, so against his will would work with that
King-Salamander2025-11-25 20:31
It is out of character because up until that point he had never died in the show before.
santa99912025-11-25 20:32
The concept of him faking his death, not him dying. I didn’t think I had to spell that out
Hufa1232025-11-25 20:38
Well, he never died before that, so yes, technically it's out of character for him.
Rman8232025-11-25 20:29
Exactly. People want to bitch about deaths not sticking until it’s the characters they want to return.
TheJoshider102025-11-26 00:23
Well yeah people are obviously gonna bitch about a character being killed off minutes into a revival series? It happens any time a character gets killed off in an opening, from Alien 3 to Terminator: Dark Fate and Born Again. People don't like seeing characters killed off for shock value to get the story going.
That said when it came to Born Again their hands were tied and I'm glad they brought the actor back and will continue to be using him anyway. As Daredevil S4 I have no problem with it but as a revival I do understand the disappointment.
Firetrainer7772025-11-25 21:08
I don’t really agree, because if you think about it, it would be a mirror to Matt hiding his identity of daredevil and foggy being upset finding out. It now would put foggy in the position of hiding a secret like that from Matt, bringing a whole new level of understanding to foggy about what that is like.
balthazar_edison2025-11-25 20:27
This ain’t fast and furious and honestly I like it more when characters stay dead.
JaesopPop2025-11-25 20:28
It would be a supremely shitty choice to bring him back.
Responsible-Swan472025-11-25 20:29
Wasn't he in a relationship with a zombie ninja a couple seasons ago?
Federal-Captain11182025-11-25 21:22
Well, kinda. But still, not like he's going to reveal a twist in an interview.
privatejacques2025-11-26 03:04
And? Last I checked The Hand isn't involved whatsoever with Foggy like they are with Elektra who is a Black Sky
GratefulDoom902025-11-26 03:27
What the fuck even is a Black Sky. Originally, it kinda seemed like they were going to have some kind of supernatural power, but it turned out they’re just a really skilled martial artist? But then not even necessary that or something? Idk they really dropped the ball on that plot line.
jblade912025-11-26 05:07
Think they dropped that plot. I remember at the time I wondered if it was an Inhuman as SHEILD had a plot and the Inhumans series was coming. Then Defenders felt like a recon from someone with powers to just someone with a dark heart or something like that. Nothing in the comics but has similarity to demon stuff there which may have been explored if Marvel Television had continued before Disney+ and they'd done Adventures into Fear.
VivaLaDokky2025-11-26 19:18
You're right. I remember they tried to cross over Creel from Agents of Shield with Daredevil to make connections. His dad fought Creel for his last fight. That and the newspaper depicting New York is one of the few connections I caught. Around that time they also developed a Ghost Rider show, but in the end they had to cancel shows left and right because of the Disney+
Funny how MCU Canon just left these shows in the end, especially Agents of Shield.
Valentinee1052025-11-26 15:25
It's important to remember that in Marvel, stuff happens to make other stuff happen regardless of logic.
Things that exist in the MCU
1) Super science that can resurrect people
2) Undead
3) Time Travel
4) interdimensional variants
5) Magic
6) Super Science that can trick people
7) Psychics
8) Reality warping mutant powers.
At least 2 of these have already happened in Daredevil plots, and EVERY single one has happened within a seven minute drive of hells kitchen.

DumbWhore42025-11-25 20:39
They need to bring him back. The worst thing about Born Again is that it only really focused on Daredevil and Kingpin. The old show really expanded on the side characters which made it feel like an actual TV show.
privatejacques2025-11-25 21:15
They can do that for other characters and expand on them, doesn't have to be Foggy.
Adorable_Ad_34782025-11-25 20:40
It's time to let it go.
Let the series have some stakes. Foggy is a normal human. He's dead. There, end of story.
krlozdac2025-11-25 20:40
I call bullshit. We already have MCU precedence with Nick Fury stopping his heart in Winter Soldier to appear dead. Also, could be a Skrull which idk about but it is curious that they did a Skrull namecheck in season 1.
FerrusManlyManus2025-11-25 20:54

Wait
Ryan_Fleming2025-11-25 20:46
The whole "Foggy death" storyline was dumb and badly handled. It just bugs me how lazy it was.
Narratively, it didn't really serve any purpose because you knew where the story was heading. Matt was always going to become DD again, so it just felt like padding the length of the series at the cost of one of the more interesting supporting characters. Besides, it would have been much wilder if Bullseye was just randomly killing people indiscriminately on the street and leaving piles of bodies. That's more shocking than "kill the BFF" trope. If the show wants to kill off Foggy, fine, but it just felt like a dull retread of a thousand other storylines.
"We need to raise the stakes right away! Let's kill someone major!"
"Or we could, I dunno, write an interesting and original story--"
"Kill. Someone. Major."
Lazy.

eagc72025-11-26 01:07
My recommendation if you haven't seen the show (and are also behind other MCU projects) i would suggest to unfollow the subreddit and other subreddits related to Marvel since the longer the show or film is out you are gonna see people be more freely allowed to discuss spoilers.
So if by some reason or another like job, life itself anything has prevented you from watching a movie or show and you wanna go spoiler free, then avoid the places where it will be discussed, either mute it, block it (temporarly) unfollow, then come back once you are caught up

He’s going to see him in the void when Sentry engulfed the city with it.
indianajoes2025-11-25 21:18
I don't mind that he died. I just wish we could've seen them all together for a while before they killed him off. We're seeing these characters for the first time in over half a decade and that immediately happens. I feel like it would've even hurt more if they could've let us get used to everything and did it part way through the series
CrimsonBat1212025-11-25 21:19

God damnit this just popped up on my Reddit feed and I’ve been watching the original Netflix daredevil series and just finished season 3 last night. This is a total spoiler for me :(

Just because Foggy died, doesn't mean he'll stay dead.
Daredevil is better with Matt, Karen and Foggy as the three leads.

This just seems like an easy response to dismiss anyone who dares to interact with the marvel universe outside of the MCU
I was more thinking of the “he’s still alive” theory. Resurrected somehow? Sure! Gimme your wild theories! He’s not actually dead? Oh. Cool, I guess?
Edit to clarify: I prefer it not to be retconned, basically.
Come on, Charlie, they’ll hand wave it away if they want the character back.
Just make him a LMD or some shit and the fans will eat it up lol
Not up big on the Daredevil lore, and comic runs
Only read a handful
Devil In Cell Block D. The story arc where DD, Fisk and Frank were all in prison together.
There has been a few indirect references to this story arc; Kingpin being in Cell Block D is S2, Frank meeting Fisk in S2 and Iron Fist filling in for Daredevil in IFS2.
The Secret Life of Foggy Nelson happens in Ed Brubaker's run. The only real element in Born Again that exists in Brubaker's comic run are Angela Del Toro and Hector Ayala, the White Tigers.
That being said, there have been some things fans have found that they believe (and could be) clues referencing that story. The visual of Foggy's death itself has been referenced by Marvel's own social media comparing the comic with a nod to the issue number in the show too.
Like I understand people love Foggy but at the same time people who think that you can't tell a Daredevil story of merit without Foggy are wrong.
I do also wanna point out Charlie Cox has 100% read the story where Foggy's death was faked and is not going to obviously spoil if Foggy is coming back but I think it's harder to do something good with faking his death than it is with living with it.
And either way the solution to any issues had with Foggy's death being bringing him back doesn't really check out to me.
Matt is going through a hell of a time, Foggy being killed by an old enemy rubbing even more salt in the wound. And Fisk trying to destroy his life indirectly made his world come crashing down. He’s at the very bottom. So yeah, the season being a bit clunky makes sense.
There's at least one reason to think they might be doing that.
Mcu have limitless opinions if they want
Seems wildly more likely it's for flashbacks.
Then they got a new creative team to overhaul the show and write a new pilot and the last 2 episodes and they are the ones developing Season 2, but because they couldn't scrap what the original team filming (otherwise the budget would blow up) and Foggy's passing was still a core factor in the original version, they still had to keep Foggy's death and wrote the episode that showed his death (Instead of again just having it happen off-screen) it was a lose-lose situation for Foggy fans as there really was no way out that didn't involved a Josstice League/Solo situation
I thought the whole concept was pretty weak. And very out of character for foggy
Love Foggy, but they commuted to killing him, I’d rather they stick with that and deal with the consequences for the characters then hand wave It away
...to die?
Matt tried to kill dex and broke his whole code. The trauma they’d both deal with after his death isn’t something foggy would put them through
I mean he didn't intend to die...
That said when it came to Born Again their hands were tied and I'm glad they brought the actor back and will continue to be using him anyway. As Daredevil S4 I have no problem with it but as a revival I do understand the disappointment.
Funny how MCU Canon just left these shows in the end, especially Agents of Shield.
Things that exist in the MCU
1) Super science that can resurrect people
2) Undead
3) Time Travel
4) interdimensional variants
5) Magic
6) Super Science that can trick people
7) Psychics
8) Reality warping mutant powers.
At least 2 of these have already happened in Daredevil plots, and EVERY single one has happened within a seven minute drive of hells kitchen.
This is what happens when wolds collide!!!!
Let the series have some stakes. Foggy is a normal human. He's dead. There, end of story.
Wait
Narratively, it didn't really serve any purpose because you knew where the story was heading. Matt was always going to become DD again, so it just felt like padding the length of the series at the cost of one of the more interesting supporting characters. Besides, it would have been much wilder if Bullseye was just randomly killing people indiscriminately on the street and leaving piles of bodies. That's more shocking than "kill the BFF" trope. If the show wants to kill off Foggy, fine, but it just felt like a dull retread of a thousand other storylines.
"We need to raise the stakes right away! Let's kill someone major!"
"Or we could, I dunno, write an interesting and original story--"
"Kill. Someone. Major."
Lazy.
He’s alive and the more he denies it I believe it even less
So if by some reason or another like job, life itself anything has prevented you from watching a movie or show and you wanna go spoiler free, then avoid the places where it will be discussed, either mute it, block it (temporarly) unfollow, then come back once you are caught up
Daredevil is better with Matt, Karen and Foggy as the three leads.
