Charlie Cox Comments on Foggy’s & Karen’s Return to ‘Daredevil: Born Again’: “It Was Pretty Heartbreaking When They Weren’t Around Initially”

‘Daredevil: Born Again’ is a much-anticipated project despite having an incredibly difficult development. Initially, the show was supposed to be really different, and some of the insiders even went as far as describing it as boring. The biggest shock however was that Elden Henson’s Foggy and Deborah Ann Woll’s Karen won’t return to the “reboot,” which left fans angry and a crowd went to social media to protest their absence.

Then it was announced that there have been some creative shifts when it comes to ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ and that the show will undergo a significant overhaul, slashing its episode count and centering on a new premise, and naturally, bringing again fan-favorite characters.

When the shooting resumed followed by the resolution of the SAG-AFTRA strike fans had their 100 % confirmation that Karen and Foggy were back, based on the set photos that leaked all over various social media profiles. Now Charlie Cox speaking at AwesomeCon in Washington, D.C. gave his honest opinion regarding the shift in the story:

Aw it’s so cool, man. So cool. Yeah, it was pretty heartbreaking when they weren’t around initially. When we came back to filming and they had made some changes, which you guys obviously probably read about and stuff, you know, it was clear that Foggy and Karen are kind of the heartbeat of our show. They always were. So [it feels] really special to have them back. Huge shout out to Deborah and to Elden. I know there’s been photos, there were some set photos that came out, so I know I can talk about it because it’s on the internet. But it was really sweet to have some scenes together again.

This is something that fans can most definitely agree with, considering that both Foggy and Karen being seen on set was followed by tons of positive reactions. Initial plans for the show included both Foggy and Karen dying between Netflix’s ‘Daredevil’ Season 3 and ‘Daredevil: Born Again,’ but those plans were obviously scrapped. However, based on some recent rumors they are not out in the clear yet since according to notable leakers and scoopers one of them is still bound to die over the course of the first season of ‘Born Again.’ Have something to add?
