Born Again’s Charlie Cox Opens Up Karen Page & Foggy Nelson’s Return

The Marvel Cinematic Universe gears up for the return of beloved characters in the upcoming Daredevil: Born Again series. Recently, Charlie Cox, returning as the lead character, expressed his thoughts about his co-stars Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson, portraying Karen Page and Foggy Nelson, coming back to the series.

Speaking at AwesomeCon, Cox expressed his joy at the reunion with his former co-stars. He highlighted the importance of Karen and Foggy in the series, calling them the “heartbeat” of the show. This sentiment resonates with fans who have long appreciated the dynamic trio’s chemistry in the original Netflix series. Cox said:

”
Aw it’s so cool, man. So cool. Yeah, it was pretty heartbreaking when they weren’t around initially.
When we came back to filming and they had made some changes, which you guys obviously probably read about and stuff, you know, it was clear that Foggy and Karen are kind of the heartbeat of our show. They always were. So [it feels] really special to have them back. Huge shout out to Deborah and to Elden. I know there’s been photos, there were some set photos that came out, so I know I can talk about it because it’s on the internet. But it was really sweet to have some scenes together again.”

Daredevil: Born Again has not had the smoothest journey to the screen. Concerns about the series straying from the original show’s essence led to a creative overhaul after the initial episodes were filmed. Cox’s comments reflect the significance of Foggy and Karen’s return in realigning the series with audience expectations.
