The cast for Marvel and Netflix’s Daredevil has gained another member: Elden Henson (The Mighty Ducks, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay) joined the roster as Foggy Nelson. The character is Matt Murdock’s best pal as well as his legal partner. A description from Marvel.com states, “In a town full of crime and corruption, Foggy’s friendship to the community and passion for improving it have made him a friend to its many residents from all walks of life.”

Jeph Loeb, Marvel’s Head of Television, says, “Elden plays one of the most important characters in the world of ‘Marvel’s Daredevil,’ and we’re thrilled to see Foggy Nelson brought to life by such an incredibly talented actor. He perfectly captures the heart and soul of this series, bringing an added resonance to Matt Murdock’s fight against the injustice in their great city.”

Henson joins Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock/Daredevil, Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin, and Rosario Dawson in a yet to be announced role. The 13-episode Netflix series is scheduled to premiere in 2015.
