‘Daredevil: Born Again' Fans Mourn That Shocking Premiere Death: ‘Sobbed So Much I Almost Threw Up'
The first two episodes of 'Daredevil: Born Again' are now streaming and sadly, the first 16 minutes of the premiere bring a devastating, shocking death. Yes, Foggy Nelson is gone, and fans are in mourning.
When we first reunite with Foggy (Elden Henson), Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) and Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll), it's at the end of a day at Nelson, Murdock and Page, the firm promised at the end of season three of the original Netflix series.
As always, they head to Josie's for a drink. But while there, Foggy gets a call that leads him outside, only for him to be shot in the chest by Bullseye (Wilson Bethel). Matt's able to catch up to Bullseye as Daredevil, and as they fight, Matt listens to Foggy's heartbeat slowly stop, as the lawyer dies in Karen's arms.
It's a devastating opening sequence, and come Wednesday morning, fans were still shaken by it, with one dubbing it 'the most sickening, heartbreaking and shocking 15 minutes of a new season in a tv show.'

Naturally, given the fact that characters have come back from death in the MCU before — and certainly on the original 'Daredevil' series — some fans immediately began telling themselves that Foggy's death isn't permanent.
'Ok guys here's how foggy is actually alive and undercover/it was all a dream/matts in psychosis/this is all VR,' one fan theorized.
Another suggested that Foggy might get the Bucky Barnes treatment, coming back as a super soldier in season 2 of 'Born Again.'

Naturally, Foggy's death causes something in Matt Murdock to snap, leading him to truly try and kill someone for the first time ever, throwing Bullseye off a roof when he hears Foggy's heart stop.
According to Cox himself, 'going forward, he will spend a lifetime trying to reconcile that moment.'
The good news is, both Deborah Ann Woll, whose character ended up moving to San Francisco following Foggy's death, and Elden Henson are both set to return for the second season of the series. It remains unclear in what capacity.
For now though, longtime 'Daredevil' fans are simply processing the news, mourning Franklin Percy Nelson, the great Avocado at Law. You can see more reactions to his death below.

Netflix Unveils Trailer For Tyler Perry's ‘Madea's Destination Wedding'
Netflix has unveiled the first trailer for Madea's Destination Wedding, the 13th installment in the comedic Madea franchise, created by and starring Tyler Perry, which is slated to premiere on July 11. Marking the second Madea film made through a creative partnership with Netflix, on the heels of A Madea Homecoming in 2022, Madea's Destination Wedding sees Madea (Perry) and her family travel to the Bahamas for her grandniece Tiffany's (Diamond White) impromptu wedding to a rapper she recently met on a yacht. The sudden engagement, with the wedding set to occur in just two weeks, raises suspicions among Tiffany's parents, Brian (also portrayed by Perry) and his ex-wife Debrah (Taja V. Simpson). As the family gathers for the celebration, tensions and comedic chaos ensue, leading to a memorable tropical adventure.

Tom Clancy's ‘Splinter Cell: Deathwatch': Fans Go Wild For Clips Of Netflix Animated Series At Annecy As Creative Team Detail Inspirations Ranging From Michael Mann To Satoshi Kon To Tom Cruise
Delighted Splinter Cell fans were shown a trio of clips from the upcoming animated Deathwatch series today at Annecy as Ubisoft execs gave them a peek into the making of the highly-anticipated Netflix adaptation. The audience at a packed Salle Pierre Lamy were shown three clips featuring the first appearance of protagonist Sam Fisher, voiced by Liev Schreiber, an epic fight scene and a car chase. More from Deadline Netflix Unveils Trailer For Tyler Perry's 'Madea's Destination Wedding' Marvel Animation Unveils First Episode Of 'Eyes Of Wakanda' Opening In Ancient Crete & Setting Up 3,000-Year Search For Stolen Vibranium Artefacts Stephen Curry, Caleb McLaughlin, Gabrielle Union, & Nick Kroll Set For Voice Cast Of Sony Pictures Animation's Sports-Themed Movie 'Goat'- Annecy The creative team talked the crowd through the various influences that have had such an impact on the TV version, which fast forwards Fisher's story to 2025. One of Ubisoft's flagship franchises, the hugely popular game series follows Fisher, the highly trained agent of a fictional black-ops sub-division within the NSA, dubbed 'Third Echelon', as he overcomes his adversaries. Having first been announced in 2020, the Ubisoft series will air later this year on Netflix. Director Guillaume Dousse said he approached the immense task of helming an adaptation of one of the world's most beloved video games by melding Michael Mann and Japanese director-animator Satoshi Kon. Live action noir properties like Ghost in the Shell were also a major influence, he added. 'We took huge inspiration from live action,' he said. 'There is this element of melancholy to the mise en scène. We wanted it to be full of contrasts.' Dousse incorporated lengthier, fixed shots, a rarity for animation, as he cited the famous 17-minute scene in Steve McQueen's Hunger as an example of something he wanted to move towards. The creatives repeatedly stressed that the eight-episode show takes its time, going against the grain of super fast-paced narratives. The soundtrack was also hugely important, with Dousse citing inspirations like Ozark and Tokyo Vice. Another slightly more unlikely inspiration for the older central character was Tom Cruise in the Mission Impossible franchise, who has been making those movies for decades and has grown up with them. 'It was interesting to have this ageing character, not totally like the Tom Cruise version but more realistic, and more weathered by life,' said producer Hugo Revon. Notably, Schreiber is taking on voice duties from Michael Ironside. Ironside, who voiced Fisher in the games, has previously said he is too old to return for the show. Schreiber was 'important for the project' as he is known for live action and the show is aiming to attract a broad audience who simply enjoy a great narrative, Revon said. 'His voice comes to life,' he added of the Ray Donovan star. 'It is so natural.' The show brings the action to Europe and was described as a 'roadtrip around Europe' by Ubisoft development manager Carl Tamakloe. Fast forwarding to 2025 meant facing up to the realities of how war has changed since Splinter Cell first started out as a game. 'We were interested in hybrid warfare,' added Tamakloe. 'Fake news can destabilize a state. We wanted to be rooted in the idea that in 2025 you don't fight like you did in 2000.' Without giving too much away, Tamakloe revealed some of the show will be set around the fictional Cop 31 climate conference, drawing out themes of energy and power. The first Splinter Cell video game was released in 2002. A series of tie-in novels following Fisher on his missions as a black ops agent were published in the mid-2000s. The team were speaking on the first day of the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in the south of France, which is being attended by all the big American studios.

Why Nicola Coughlan Is the Soul of ‘Bridgerton' and Deserves an Emmy Nomination
Anyone who's seen Nicola Coughlan in 'Derry Girls' knows that she's a brilliant comedic performer. As nerdy teenager Clare Devlin, Coughlan made teenage anxiety immensely physical and palpable — firing her dialogue with all the air in her lungs, walking with so much propulsive energy she was nearly tripping over herself. In 'Bridgerton' Season 3, Coughlan similarly portrays adolescent turmoil, but through subtler and more internal means. As wallflower Penelope Featherington, who harbors a double identity as the controversial Lady Whistledown, Coughlan was tasked not just with making the ton's resident introvert a mesmerizing lead but also with bringing humanity to her character's morally ambiguous actions. More from Variety 'Last of Us' Creator Craig Mazin Reminds Angry Fans That Pedro Pascal Lives On, Even if His Character Doesn't: 'He's Alive and He's in Literally Everything Else' 'Severance' Creator Dan Erickson Discusses the 'Depressing' Lumon Industries - While Touring Lumen, the Actual Name for Variety's Office Building 'There Is No Feud': Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood Tell All on Their 'White Lotus' Connection, a Cut Love Scene and Yes, Why He Unfollowed Her on Instagram Coughlan nails it: the hit Netflix show's third season sees Penelope fully step into the spotlight as a romantic interest. In Penelope's evolution, Coughlan captures how a young woman's coming of age is defined as much by her own personal choices as it is by her struggle against society's expectations for women. And Coughlan makes a case for herself as an excellent dramatic lead, the kind that Emmy voters should pay attention to. That's because Coughlan has to reconcile two conflicting aspects of her character. One is the standard teenage heroine. Penelope previously existed mainly on the sidelines, a spinster-to-be. Her transformation into the center of attention is literally represented through a glow-up: there's a scene in which she enters a ballroom sporting a completely different fashion and hair and makeup. Coughlan's tentative delight as she notices the amount of eyes on her instantly makes viewers root for her. She establishes Penelope as our favorite underdog. This idea is complicated by the fact that Penelope wields actual power as the anonymous writer behind an all-knowing gossip rag that can completely make or break someone's reputation. The journey that Penelope undergoes in becoming the main character is something Lady Whistledown already pulled off; Penelope has been the main character all along; it's just that now, she must own up to that status — including the hurt she caused to attain it. It's to Coughlan's credit that these emotional threads stay together. She grounds Penelope's characterization in a fundamental sincerity. Penelope's flaws are humanizing, never outright villainous, and neither are they completely ignored. She's an intelligent young person, but she's not immune to her age. Coughlan realistically captures what it's like to be in the throes of adolescence, fumbling toward the person you want to be. Take, for instance, the scenes when Penelope tries to flirt with a gentlemen for the first time. Her awkward attempts at conversation are incredibly entertaining and charming as Coughlan leans into the cringe. For all of Penelope's brilliance as a proto-journalist, she can't help her social inexperience. Similarly, Coughlan taps into a universal feeling when Penelope asks her childhood friend and longtime crush, Colin Bridgerton, to kiss her. Having just run away from a ballroom where everyone had been talking judgmentally about her, Penelope tells Colin, 'It would not have to mean anything.' Simply, 'I do not wish to die without ever having been kissed.' Coughlan brings heart and sensitivity to Penelope's longing for romantic validation. And in Penelope's pragmatic pursuit of a husband, Coughlan translates her character's internal struggle. Penelope must secure a marriage, but she's cautious about her romantic decisions, as she prizes her independence and, of course, her work. A shot of Coughlan's serving face in the midst of scribbling is certainly memeable, but Coughlan does make the viewer understand the gravity of Penelope's intellectual endeavors and her hesitation at giving them up for love. The night before Penelope's wedding to Colin, she tells dressmaker Madame Delacroix that 'I felt like I was losing a part of myself' when she attempted to stop writing. It is her ultimate form of self-expression. That's where Lady Whistledown originated from: a young woman's desire for agency. If Penelope's approach was messy and slightly misguided, Coughlan's portrayal indicates that her actions as Lady Whistledown sometimes reflected the missteps of youth. 'You were a girl who did not know her own power,' Madame Delacroix also reminds her. And so Coughlan imbues Penelope's acceptance of accountability with the same earnestness that she treats her character's first romantic encounters. Penelope decides that going forward, she'll punch up rather than punch down. As she states at one point, 'I should've been using the column to give a voice to the other voiceless.' Despite the clichéd declaration, Coughlan makes Penelope's good intentions and activist dedication believable. The night before her wedding, Madame Delacroix tells Penelope that 'there's no such thing as true love without first embracing your true self.' By the end, we see Penelope accept who she is, wallflower and alter ego combined. It's because of Coughlan's nuanced performance that this merging of selves lands so seamlessly.
