Fans of Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock have been eagerly awaiting his return in the MCU’s Daredevil: Born Again. However, a new rumor suggests that Nelson and Murdock may be no more.
Balancing the world of Matt Murdock’s lawyer work and his secret life of Daredevil is always a difficult act in any adaptation. While it seems as though Daredevil: Born Again is set to have plenty of scenes in the courtroom, it may not be how fans remember it. According to leaker CanWeGetSomeToast on Instagram, Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock will be leaving behind Nelson and Murdock to start Murdock and Associates with Kirsten McDuffie (played by Nikki James).
While this lines up with what fans have heard about Elden Henson as Foggy Nelson not returning for Daredevil: Born Again, it is sad to hear that Matt Murdock will be moving on to a new firm, especially given how strong of a bond Charlie Cox’s version had to Nelson and Murdock in the Netflix show. While it’s unclear what kind of dynamic Kirsten McDuffie will have with Matt, or the chemistry Nikki James will have with Cox on set, this is a decision that’s certain to ruffle the feathers of plenty of fans.
