Daredevil Born Again may have received some great news–especially for fans of the original Netflix series. Fan favorite characters Foggy Nelson and Karen Page might be getting their original actors according to Jeff Sneider on X (formerly Twitter):
What that means for the canonicity of the original Netflix show remains to be seen, but I’d like to think that somewhere along the line that Kevin Feige and the forces-that-be over at Marvel decided to expand upon Netflix’s fantastic Daredevil rather than start fresh from the ground-up.
I mean, why not? And that’s the question most of the internet was asking until casting choices (namely, Wilson Fisk’s Wife) proved that there may be some shakeup with the show’s original cast. Which is a shame, because Daredevil on Netflix was a great live action showing for the Man Without Fear and his associates.
But this latest rumor has served as a panacea for fans that felt like they were going to be forced to watch as their show turned into a twisted, MCU-ified version of itself.
Frankly, I actually enjoyed the moments of Charlie Cox’s Daredevil that we got in Echo and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, though both of these have had their critics amongst fans. But I am thrilled to know that Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson might be returning as Karen Page and Foggy Nelson (respectively), because they added heart and a whole lot of fantastic acting to Daredevil during its run on Netflix.
Production on Daredevil: Born Again is starting to ramp up, so expect more news coming out of the House of Mouse regarding the Scarlet Swashbuckler and his MCU outing.
