The Marvel Netflix series had a mixed reception, but one character was universally considered perfectly cast: The Punisher, played by Jon Bernthal. Consequently, he will return in the new Disney+ series Daredevil: Born Again alongside leading actor Charlie Cox. However, one detail of the message caused a stir: the original stars of Daredevil’s confidants Foggy and Karen look into the tube.
The Details of Daredevil Born Again: Who’s Returning and Who’s Missing
Vincent D’Onofrio returns as Wilson Fisk aka Kingpin
Given that list of familiar faces, Elden Henson and Deborah Ann Woll would be returning as Foggy Nelson and Karen Page respectively. The two stars were, along with Charlie Cox, the constant of the Daredevil series and Woll also starred in Punisher.
However, Eldon Henson and Deborah Ann Woll are not returning for Daredevil Born Again. It is unknown if her characters will be recast or not appear at all. This is according to a report by the Hollywood Reporter. The loss didn’t sit well with fans of the original Daredevil trio.
This is how Daredevil fans mourn Foggy and Karen
Frustration spread on social media. Plenty of comments have been posted under the two stars’ older Instagram posts wishing they returned. Sad fans spoke up on Twitter and shared thousands of comments:
