While there are multiple ways the actors could return after his apparent death, many fans are speculating that we\u2019ll find out Henson\u2019s Foggy Nelson character faked his own death, just like in the comics.

And in the original <em><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/daredevil\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Daredevil;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">Daredevil<\/a><\/em> comics, there is a storyline where Foggy Nelson is seemingly killed but later found to be alive and well and working with Witness Protection. Some <em>Born Again<\/em> fans initially thought that Elden Henson\u2019s Foggy Nelson character would follow that same arc, but previously, there was no reason to believe the character would be returning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Now, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/marvel\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Marvel;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">Marvel<\/a> TV bigwig Brad Winderbaum confirmed in a recent interview that Henson\u2019s character would be returning for <em>Daredevil: Born Again<\/em> Season 2. This news was doubly surprising because when he was asked about Foggy Nelson coming back, Henson told attendees of L.A. Comic-Con last month that \u201cI hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it\u2019s just not happening.\u201d It\u2019s possible the actor was trying to keep things a secret, though some have speculated that he meant Foggy wasn\u2019t actually alive and might be coming back for a flashback sequence.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mb-4 text-lg font-bold\"><strong>Taking a Page From the Comics<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/Rz.TWBYoKOraTyrAWZzzVw--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/giant_freakin_robot_articles_628\/2ab900ec00592d1a200e1979c1477630\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">However, I deeply suspect that <em>Daredevil: Born Again<\/em> will take a page from the comics and reveal that Foggy is secretly alive and has been hiding out in Witness Protection. This would be a win\/win for Marvel because they\u2019d keep comics fans happy by adapting the source material. At the same time, Elden Henson\u2019s return would appease audiences who want the show to be more like <em>Daredevil<\/em> on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/topic\/netflix\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Netflix;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">Netflix<\/a>, something Marvel is presumably interested in because they are also bringing back Deborah Ann Woll for <em>Born Again<\/em>\u2019s second season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">These are reasons why bringing Foggy Nelson back is a good short-term plan for Marvel. It\u2019s a terrible long-term plan, however, because it would that character\u2019s earlier \u201cdeath\u201d completely meaningless. <em>Born Again<\/em> originally turned Foggy\u2019s death into the one thing that could push Daredevil to try to kill someone; how stupid will it be to revisit that pivotal scene in the future if we find out that Foggy had never even died?<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mb-4 text-lg font-bold\"><strong>The Final Nail In Marvel\u2019s Coffin<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">On a larger level, creative decisions like this may turn fans against Marvel at the worst possible time. This cinematic universe has been flailing in recent years and occasionally even bombing at the box office, and Kevin Feige is gambling that an upcoming reboot will make fans care about tights-and-flights movies once again. But if popular shows like <em>Daredevil: Born Again<\/em> normalize that nobody ever really stays dead in this universe, the public may completely abandon the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.giantfreakinrobot.com\/ent\/the-best-marvel-memes-from-every-phase-of-the-franchise.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:MCU;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\">MCU<\/a> altogether because of its complete and utter lack of lasting stakes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Characters dying and inexplicably returning is a staple of comics, but the MCU has generally treated death very seriously, which is why characters like Iron Man and Black Widow haven\u2019t been brought back to life. Resurrecting Foggy Nelson from seemingly certain death might please fans in the short term, especially those who enjoyed the Foggy\/Matt bromance of the original <em>Daredevil<\/em>. In the long term, though, the character\u2019s resurrection would mean the death of lasting consequences in these shows and movies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">And once audiences find out, this may be the final nail in the coffin for the MCU.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently, Marvel confirmed some fairly shocking news: Elden Henson will be returning to Daredevil: Born Again for its second season after his character (spoilers, sweetie: you\u2019ve been warned!) was killed by the villainous Bullseye.
