DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN Cast & EP Discuss Premiere Spoilers Ahead Of Tuesday's New Episode: "Not My Idea"

Marvel Television has released a new video featuring the main stars and executive producer of Daredevil: Born Again discussing the major events of the two-episode series premiere...

We're sure the majority of you have watched the first two episodes of Daredevil: Born Again at this stage, but just in case, major spoilers follow.

Ahead of tomorrow's third episode, Marvel Television has released some clips from a roundtable chat with the show's executive producer Sana Amanat and main cast members Charlie Cox, Vincent D'Onofrio, Deborah Ann Woll, and Elden Henson.

In the video, the group discusses some of the major plot points from the two-episode premiere, and as you might expect, the tragic death of Henson's character, Foggy Nelson, at the hands of the twisted assassin known as Bullseye (Wilson Bethel) gets most of the focus.

Amanat asks Henson what he'd say to Foggy's devastated fans, and the actor simply responds that killing him off was "not my idea." The actor goes on to say that he feels lucky to have been able to play Nelson for as long as he did (Foggy will be back for season 2, but likely only for flashbacks).

D'Onofrio also discusses Wilson Fisk seemingly turning over a new leaf and putting his criminal dealings behind him as the Major of New York.

Has the Kingpin really changed? You've probably drawn your own conclusions there, but perhaps Tuesday's episode will give us a more definitive answer.

Check out the new featurette below along with a recent teaser, and be sure to drop back tomorrow night for our episode 3 spoiler recap.

In Marvel Television's Daredevil: Born Again, Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), a blind lawyer with heightened abilities is fighting for justice through his bustling law firm, while former mob boss Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio) pursues his own political endeavors in New York. When their past identities begin to emerge, both men find themselves on an inevitable collision course.

The show also stars Margarita Levieva, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, Zabryna Guevara, Nikki James, Genneya Walton, Arty Froushan, Clark Johnson, Michael Gandolfini, with Ayelet Zurer and Jon Bernthal. Dario Scardapane is on board as showrunner.

Episodes are directed by Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead, Michael Cuesta, Jeffrey Nachmanoff, and David Boyd; and executive producers are Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Sana Amanat, Chris Gary, Dario Scardapane, Christopher Ord & Matthew Corman, and Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead.

I am so hyped for tomorrow.

I am looking forward to the scene where the different mask-coloured thugs infiltrate a bank (?) and Matt beats them down, wears one the thugs' masks and breaks his knee in the alleyway (as seen in the trailer).

Do you think there is a chance this might happen in tomorrow's episode?

My predictions are either Ep.3 or Ep.4 as I think this will happen before the rumoured Punisher episode (either 5 or 6, which will both release together 2 weeks from now).

It would also align with Matt still not putting on the suit (against Muse or along the Punisher vs cops scene) and unleashing his rage while wearing normal clothes during broad daylight.

What do you think?

The whole "not my idea" thing is kind of corny. It's the story. Own it
Its be so wack if characters were immortal never died

Besides I think this is a misdirect and the dude is somehow alive anyway

@Vigor - I don’t think so

I would buy him not being dead more if it wasn’t executed the way it was with Karen being there and Matt hearing him die

@TheVisionary25 - I hope not. Tho there is precedence for it in the comics
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 3/10/2025, 2:35 PM
@Vigor - yep , aside from the fakeout death in the comics during I think the Brubaker run…

Foggy dies for real in the Chip Zdarsky run which this show seems to be taking inspiration from with the whole Mayor Fisk stuff

Matt literally goes to the afterlife to save him in that which I doubt happens here.

@TheVisionary25 - For me this doesn’t play out as Foggy going into wit pro. Other people were killed, not just him and he would never agree to that. That’s not to say that they’re not doing some other kind of a fake out here, but that idea doesn’t fit for me.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 3/10/2025, 3:43 PM
@RolandD - I agree

I wonder though if Bullseye was being calculating by killing others so it doesn’t look like a targeted killing or was he just being his psychotic self?.

@Vigor - nah it felt like a gimmick. There was no lead up and Foggy just decides to be a complete moron and not tell Matt that their defendant is in his apartment because he "didn't want to give Daredevil a reason to be Daredevil" lol. Like what??

@TheVisionary25 - Good question.

The arc or story this season for both Matt & Fisk who have always kinda been (aside from S2) co-leads is whether both can really surpress their true nature or not which as we saw in ep 2 is gonna be a test for both men…

I’m glad the events of Echo even if vaguely mentioned & acknowledged weren’t just brushed aside because that really set up Kingpin’s arc of us thinking whether he can change or not which has been compelling so far , same with Matt’s about him trying not to let the Devil out.

That might be how someone like Muse ties in in that he’s likely someone that has embraced his violent nature so he serves as this mirror in a way to both Fisk & Matt.

If they're really combining Soule's run (Muse) with Zdarksky's run (Mayor Fisk, and Devil's Reign) with Brubaker's run, I wouldn't be surprised if Foggy comes back for more than that...

Idk know about everyone else but I’m glad they killed off Foggy and had Karen move to SF. Otherwise we wouldn’t get the two new characters to come in and play the exact same roles.

I think we all know why they replaced Karen and Foggy…

@Nomis929 - Love it and it is truly classic Daredevil, too. I think this is one of those cases where the actor in a superhero product actually enjoys playing the character, which is nice.
Nomis929
Nomis929 - 3/10/2025, 3:51 PM
@RolandD - Agreed, and his performance shows that he do. A win-win all around.

@Nomis929 - yeah he's definitively Daredevil.

@Nomis929 - D’Onofrio is right there with him, too.

Foggy’s had 2 fakeout deaths and a real one in the comics lol

I Remembered Matt also faked his death during the Mark Waid run when the character was diagnosed with cancer and Matt didn’t want his best friend to deal with the fallout of his secret under its being hired still so with Hank Pyms help , he faked Foggy’s death and relocated him to San Francisco.

Even though it's not half as good as DD S1-3 this is still good Marvel. And I thank the good lord above and also Kevin Feige that we are still getting SOME good Marvel at least. Makes me feel less stupid about being frenetically excited for TFF, Doomsday and Secret Wars.
