“I am beyond excited to be with my Daredevil cast-mates at Wizard World Chicago Comic Con; Chicago is one of my favourite cities,” says Elden Henson, ‘Foggy Nelson.’

“I am so grateful to the fans for their overwhelmingly positive reaction to the show, and to Wizard World for creating an opportunity to interact with them!! I can’t wait to meet you all in August!”

“Marvel’s Daredevil was one of last year’s most exciting new shows and the introduction of fan favorite characters brought to life by an amazingly talented cast,” said Randy Malinoff, COO of Wizard World. “Wizard World is always looking to provide our fans with fun and unique opportunities to interact with their favourite shows, movies, comic books, and more, so we’re thrilled they’ll have the chance to interact with this great cast.”

Marvel’s Daredevil on Netflix follows the journey of attorney Matt Murdock, who in a tragic accident was blinded as a boy but imbued with extraordinary senses. Alongside friend Foggy Nelson, Murdock sets up a practice in his hometown neighborhood of Hell’s Kitchen, New York where he fights against injustice as a respected lawyer by day and a masked vigilante by night.
