DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN's [SPOILER] Confirms Season 2 Return As Directors Tease Moment That Will "Upset" Fans

A Daredevil: Born Again star has confirmed they will return in the show's upcoming second season but comments from directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead point to the Man Without Fear facing a tragedy.

Daredevil: Born Again's creative overhaul made some sweeping changes to the Disney+ series, but there's still a lot of material from the previous iteration of the show which will remain in the version launching on Disney+ next week. 

That may include a moment upsetting for fans of the Man Without Fear according to directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead. Talking to Pay or Wait, they revealed, "There's this thing that's gonna happen that's gonna upset a lot of people, it upset us too."

However, it seems changing whatever they're referring to wasn't an option because the duo added, "When we signed on to the job, the decision had already been made."

We're getting into potential spoilers here but set photos have confirmed that Bullseye will target Karen Page and Foggy Nelson. Could one of them meet their maker? In the previous iteration of Daredevil: Born Again, something was going to happen that led to Matt Murdock hanging up his suit; the death of a close friend fits the bill. 

For what it's worth, it seems Karen is safe.

Talking to Entertainment Tonight, Deborah Ann Woll confirmed she will reprise the role in season 2. "The scripts are amazing. I am deeply honored to be a part of the storyline that Dario has written," she teased.

This may be bad news for Foggy, but the overhaul might make it so he's left comatose for the duration of Daredevil: Born Again season 1 rather than, well, dead and gone.

A new one-week countdown, promo, and featurette for Daredevil: Born Again have been released which you can check out below.

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 series 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 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.

Daredevil: Born Again premieres with two episodes on Disney+ on March 4, 2025.

So basically Foggy bites it....got it.. well it will certainly serve the story. Probably one of the main reasons they made the netflix show canon. Audiences will feel the gut punch more.

Foggy is still around in the comics, got taken over by a He’ll demon recently and attacked Father Matt/DD. I’m not a huge fan of the e character, either way, but would be a surprise to choose to kill Gil off imo.

@FrankenDad - Hell Demon* one of the deadly sins. I can’t remember which.

I know it's Foggy who bites it but it should be Karen. Hopefully she bites it before Punisher's show.

Foggy and Karen should have died together.

It's going to be Karen. Nobody will care about Foggy

I never understood why more recently they feel the need to kill off characters which have been around forever. Reading the older comics (the better ones) I think Uncle Ben and Gwen Stacy where about the only ones to die. And then worst before it’s even released start telling everyone that they won’t like it… well if they already know that, why do it? Daft or what 🤔

Well , it’s good that Karen’s coming back since I enjoy that character and Deborah’s performance however that doesn’t spell good news for Foggy haha…

I think the show will begin with Bullseye killing him hence I can see that being the upsetting thing the directors mention that happens.

Going by their comments , if it is Foggy’s death then it seems to be another thing that was carried over from the original version of the show to this new iteration hence them saying the decision was already made before they had signed on…

I hope we find out the differences between the 2 versions eventually.
