Jon Favreau Teases Possible Return as Foggy Nelson in Marvel Multiverse

The creator of The Mandalorian, who is also known for directing Iron Man, has hinted at a potential return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Foggy Nelson. In the year 2003, this versatile actor and filmmaker played the character alongside Ben Affleck’s Man Without Fear in Daredevil.

It’s possible, though not certain, that Favreau might reprise his role as Foggy in future projects, possibly depending on whether Affleck returns as Daredevil in an upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe event like “Avengers: Secret Wars”. This is hinted at by Jennifer Garner’s recent return as Elektra Natchios, which suggests a possibility for both Affleck and Favreau. Despite the 2003 ‘Daredevil’ movie being criticized, Favreau’s portrayal of Foggy Nelson was generally well-received.

In a different version of Earth 616, Daredevil encountered Happy Hogan (portrayed by Favreau) and Spider-Man (Tom Holland) in this universe. It’s intriguing to imagine how he would react to a new Foggy who resembles Happy but isn’t his longtime friend, played by Elden Henson. Henson has portrayed the character in Marvel Studios’ “Daredevil: Born Again” series as well as all three seasons of its previous Netflix adaptation.
