Dario Scardapane on Why Karen and Foggy Are Important in Daredevil: Born Again
Scardapane describes Karen and Foggy as the “heart and soul” of the Daredevil story, saying they are important because they act as the “family structure” for Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), who is otherwise an orphan.
Scardapane added, “They are the heart and soul of this mythology… You get so much more out of Daredevil as a character, as a human being… Karen and Foggy are the family structure for our orphan Matt, and it was very important to have them.”
The series is co-directed by Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, with Scardapane serving as the showrunner. All nine episodes are officially rated TV-MA.
