Daredevil: Born Again
admonition ! This article contains SPOILERS for swashbuckler : Born Again time of year 1 , episode 1 & 2 .
Daredevil : Born Againjust in effect rub out one recollective - termMarvelshow storyline and character in the sequel series - and made it basically impossible to unmake given the first episode ’s major demise . hothead : Born Againepisode 1 & 2have brought the narrative of the Devil of Hell ’s Kitchen back to our filmdom , albeit by showing a currently retired Daredevil , who also is far less involved with Hell ’s Kitchen . However , this does n’t seem like it will last evermore - first and frontmost because his retirement happens in the first episode of the show , and also because similar storylines also crop up in Netflix’sDaredevil .
WhileDaredevil : Born Againlooks set to mirrorDaredevilin this way - and fall out up on a good deal of threads the original Marvel sacking put in place - there is one keystone storylinethe MCU showcuts ties with via its first episode . give the priorities of and circumstances aroundDaredevil : Born Again , I opine this makes a caboodle of sense on one hand , but I ’m also still surprised at the lengths the first hour of the instalment pass to so as to score out one storyline fromthe Defenders timelinethat was a key on-going part of every time of year of the originalDaredevilfrom its own MCU story .
Daredevil: Born Again Brings Back Foggy Nelson Just To Kill Him Off In Its First Scenes
Daredevil : Born Againbegins in fairly intense manner - particularly for long - termDaredevilfans - asthe show opens with the expiry of Foggy Nelson , Matt Murdock ’s best acquaintance and byplay better half at the law firm they and Karen Page created together . After having some drinks and talk over how their lives and New York had changed , Foggy receives a call from a node he endeavor to protect from injury ’s way by letting them stick around at his flat , only for them to be found there and interrogated , break Foggy ’s location and resulting in Bullseye gunning down Nelson and the legal profession they were in .
While Daredevil finally gets back in meter to fight Bullseye - having initially gone to try and rescue their client Benny from harm ’s fashion - Foggy succumbs to his wound , which Murdock pick up when his nerve stops beating . Because of how colossal this is for the show ’s fib , it ’s naturally the focal point of the first two episodes and Foggy ’s story within the continuation series , making it all the more interesting that one major character from Foggy’sDaredevilarc is wholly missing inDaredevil : take over Again .
Daredevil: Born Again’s Foggy Story Carefully Cuts One Major Character Out Of The Sequel
Foggy ’s love involvement and later long - full term partner inDaredevil- Marci Stahl - is notably abstracted from the continuation story , despite being a core part of Foggy ’s life for seeming decennary , and his romantic mate for the absolute majority of the series . Indeed , Daredevilseason 3 even ends with the pair talking about wedding , and with Marci seemingly unperturbed by Nelson deciding to once again start up a law firm with Matt Murdock , this time with Karen Page as a main figure too to produce the Nelson , Murdock , and Page house .
Given the last we saw of the pair ’s relationship was it being seemingly stronger than ever , it ’s something of a jump cut forDaredevil : bear Again , which ward off even really advert to Marciand her position in Foggy ’s history . This is especially patent since one of the last thing Foggy does before he die is stress to flirt with Kirsten McDuffie , leaving Matt and Karen looking on in jest horror . As Foggy and Marci never appeared to be in an unresolved relationship - and there ’s no reference to her in answer to Foggy ’s death - it seems the show in effect removes her from the story in the continuation serial .
With Foggy now dead , it seems unlikely this storyline will ever be addressed again as well , short of the hypothesis that his death was somehow faked coming to fruition . Even then , it seems like a reunification with a on the face of it long - lose girlfriend would be very low-pitched down on the list of storiesDaredevil : Born Againwould want to address if something as spectacular as a fakeout death became part of the story . or else , it ’s likely Marci will never be a part ofBorn Again , with her remotion from the Daredevil world looking to be for more than one cause .

Why Marci Doesn’t Appear & Isn’t Mentioned In Daredevil: Born Again
There ’s a considerable timeskip betweenthe end ofDaredevilseason 3and the commencement ofDaredevil : Born Again , which means it first and foremost makes common sense that Marci is absent from the show as it appears the pair may have split up during this sentence . If this breakup was long enough ago for the main troika , it would make signified that they do n’t so much as reference it , even though it appears to have been Foggy ’s main and longest romanticist family relationship in the universe .
While it seems a little odd there ’s no quotation to Foggy ’s former long - terminal figure partner in the serial , the pair ’s early relationship was certainly far more rocky , and Marci ’s initial disregard for Foggy ’s upbeat does suggest a especially unpleasant detachment could now be in the past here . This would encourage none of the characters to talk over her , even when it comes to matter like Foggy ’s death and funeral - which she ’d also be far less likely to attend if things terminate ill .
On another grade , this seems perhaps equivalence for the course , asDaredevil : hold Againis intended to work for viewers who saw the original show , and those who have n’t . Marci was a key part of Foggy ’s chronicle , but not so of the essence that she could n’t be removed from the narrative for the saki of keeping things as uncomplicated as potential . Keeping Foggy ’s long - term partner would ’ve also provided Matt or Karen another person to sorrow with , which would ’ve in all probability hampered the narration dramaof their reaction to Foggy ’s death and it driving a wedge between them .
That said , dedicate the trajectory of Foggy and Marci ’s narrative , the fact Marci is miss inDaredevil : Born Againis hard not to wonder about based on all that came before . With more episode - and another outright season at least - left of the show , there is always the luck the continuation story could select to address this matter , but it ’s also sightly if the serial decide to focalise on paving the way for the future , rather .
swashbuckler : Born Againseason 1 , instalment 3 is set to release on March 11 , 2025 .
