Daredevil: Born Again showrunner fought with Marvel over bringing back Karen and Foggy after the original version excluded them: “I was willing to lose a job over this one”

Matt Murdock’s best friends and law associates, Foggy Nelson and Karen Page, were almost left out of the upcoming MCU show Daredevil: Born Again. However, showrunner Dario Scardapane was “willing to lose a job over this one”, as he fought to keep the characters in the new show.

“That was actually one of the first things I said to the bosses. You can’t do this show without Karen and Foggy. They’re Matt’s family. They’re the heart of his world. You can’t take them out without explaining why, and if that explanation doesn’t ring true, don’t take them out,” he explained in a recent interview with Empire.
