The lack of Foggy Nelson in ‘Daredevil: Born Again‘ was more impactful than the majority of deaths in the MCU, and that is precisely why it might not be final.
The series has not only been reminding us of what Matt lost; it has been painstakingly reminding us of Foggy’s significance bit by bit. And, season 3 may not merely celebrate Foggy; it may even revive him in a large, story-altering sense.
The Show Hasn’t Let Foggy Go, And That Matters
From the moment Foggy Nelson was killed on orders from Vanessa Fisk and executed by Bullseye, the emotional fallout has defined Matt Murdock’s journey. However, what’s interesting is how the show refuses to move on from him. The flashbacks in season 2 do not seem like nostalgia, but rather deliberate.

Foggy is not only remembered, but he is also influencing Matt’s decisions. It is not accidental that Matt decides mercy over vengeance, even against Bullseye. It’s a direct echo of Foggy’s moral compass.
That is the way these stories are generally run. When the influence of a character continues to increase after death, it is usually because the story of that character is not really over. The MCU has a habit of using emotional weight as a setup, not a conclusion.
‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Could Pull Off A Classic Marvel Resurrection Twist
When you read the comics, Foggy’s death was not the end; it was a red herring. He was put under witness protection, a twist that would have been a perfect fit in the grounded, legal-world tone of ‘Born Again’. It would not be a stretch at all; it would be deserved.

However, there’s a more intriguing angle. As rumors of The Hand resurface in the MCU, the gateway to something darker and more supernatural is open. The Hand is not merely a criminal network; they have literally resurrected people in the past. Should the show tip into that side of the Marvel lore, the reintroduction of Foggy might have severe repercussions.
Then there’s the prison thread. Should Matt find himself in jail, as he is being jibed, the comics may repeat themselves with Foggy being instrumental in exonerating Matt. That kind of reunion wouldn’t just be emotional; it would be pivotal to the plot.
Bringing Foggy back at the end of the day is not just wishful thinking; it makes narrative sense. Killing him changed Matt. Bringing him back could redefine him. And right now, ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ feels like it’s building toward exactly that kind of payoff.
