Daredevil: Born Again's Charlie Cox says that the loss of Foggy Nelson is "hard" for him on set every day
Daredevil star Charlie Cox says the loss of Foggy Nelson has been traumatic for the Marvel hero

Life is easier with a good friend by your side. But what happens when that good friend tragically dies?
That question is currently being explored in Daredevil: Born Again. Matt Murdock and Foggy Nelson’s friendship was one of the emotional cornerstones of the original Netflix series, but the Disney+ revival took things in a bold direction by killing Foggy at the start of its first season. Foggy’s death has had a profound effect on Matt, which can still be felt in the show’s second season - but it also impacted the man who plays Matt Murdock as well, as it turns out.
“I haven’t read a huge amount of other comics outside of Daredevil, but I struggle to think of a more beautiful, obvious friendship [in the Marvel Universe] than the Matt Murdock and Foggy Nelson friendship,” Daredevil actor Charlie Cox revealed during the Daredevil: Born Again panel at C2E2 2026. “The loss of Foggy and the loss of Elden, my friend on set every day, that’s traumatic. It’s hard.”
It helped that Foggy Nelson actor Elden Henson shared the stage with Cox as he said this. (You can see the panel below.) It turns out, he didn't have the same reaction to Foggy's death as his co-star.
“When I read [the death scene], I actually thought it was a really great scene. I was into it,” Henson admitted. “It’s a bummer when something comes to an end. I don’t know, I felt pretty lucky to have played him, and at least there was some sort of closure.”
Daredevil: Born Again is currently streaming on Disney+.
