When Daredevil: Born Again entered production, something was missing. The original plan for the show didn’t include Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson as Karen Page and Foggy Nelson. Without them, the show lacked the heart and warmth of the 2015 Netflix original. After some discussions with Marvel Studios, the show was retooled.

“We shot the show, and they weren’t involved at that point, and we really didn’t know what was going to happen with their character, or I didn’t know at least,” Cox says during a panel at Fan Expo Cleveland. “It felt bittersweet. I always think you can’t underestimate the importance of Foggy and Karen in terms of the tone they set for that show. They are the center that allows Matt to go off and do these things and they give stakes to what he does, just in terms of storytelling.”

“They’re so beautifully portrayed by Deborah and Elden. It was pretty special having them come back. It was ironic because with that first scene with them, we’re reminiscing over the past because that made sense for the story, but it was also true for us, because we hadn’t seen each other for a long time.  We hadn’t been on camera for years and so we were there reminiscing over the past.”

Daredevil: Born Again season two premieres on Disney+ in March 2026.
