Officially there’s not really been any comment on it. However it’s well-known, thanks to so many paparazzi photos out there, that Deborah Ann Woll and Elden Henson are returning to the “Daredevil” franchise.
Woll and Henson, who played Karen Page and Franklin ‘Foggy’ Nelson in the original Netflix series respectively, weren’t initially in the upcoming revival of the property “Daredevil: Born Again”.
Production on the show was halted last year during the actor’s and writers’ strikes and Marvel opted to heavily retool the series creatively.
The result is the show is now more closely tied to the Netflix iteration of the series. Charlie Cox, who stars as Matt Murdock/Daredevil in the show, tells Collider he’s very happy they are back:
“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.”
They’re not the only ones back with Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin, Wilson Bethel’s Bullseye and Jon Bernthal’s The Punisher also returning from the original Netflix series.
Dario Scardapane serves as showrunner on the new series with Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead as lead directors.
Margarita Levieva, Michael Gandolfini, Sandrine Holt, Nikki M. James, Genneya Walton, Clark Johnson, Arty Froushan, and Zabryna Guevara co-star.
“Daredevil: Born Again” is expected to continue production for much of this year ahead of a 2025 airing.
