The Surprising ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Premiere Supported by Comic History

Daredevil: Born Again has made its return, kicking off with an intense two-part premiere featuring the episode “Heaven’s Half Hour.”The opening scenes delivered a jarring experience for Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) and his companions, setting a dramatic tone for the series.

Warning: Spoilers Ahead for Daredevil: Born Again

The episode commences with Matt, Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll), and Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson) stepping out from their law firm, Nelson, Murdock, and Page, exuding the camaraderie and warmth familiar to fans. However, this blissful moment is short-lived, ushering in a wave of chaos.

As their night unfolds at Josie’s bar, Foggy receives a phone call that requires him to step outside. In an attempt to help, Matt follows him, only to witness Benjamin Poindexter (Wilson Bethel) open fire. The scene escalates as a heart-wrenching moment unfolds — with Matt’s abilities enhancing his awareness, he hears the dreadful sound of Foggy’s heart ceasing, plunging audiences into a shocking emotional abyss.

This poignant moment finds its roots in the comics. In Daredevil (Vol.2) #82, Foggy seemingly meets his demise during a prison visit, although he ultimately is placed in witness protection by Vanessa, contrasting starkly with the unambiguous fate depicted in Born Again. Here, Matt’s auditory perception gives rise to an irreversible conclusion about Foggy’s status.

In a press interaction, Brandon Davis from Phase Hero conversed with Brad Winderbaum about this startling death. While Winderbaum refrained from divulging spoilers, he confirmed that both Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson will reprise their roles in the upcoming second season.

This revelation raises compelling questions: Will the series present flashbacks to explore the time surrounding Foggy’s apparent death? Or could they adapt the storyline from Daredevil (Vol.2) #82, where Foggy goes into hiding without Matt’s knowledge?

Additionally, while Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio) reassured Matt that he had honored their agreement from the previous season’s conclusion, the mystery surrounding Foggy’s fate persists. Is he truly gone? Could we see Henson portray a version of Foggy in flashbacks? These inquiries leave the audience in suspense as they await further developments.

As fans navigate this emotional turbulence, we send our best wishes for the beloved Foggy Nelson. His absence will undoubtedly be felt.
