However, according to Charlie Cox himself, that would not have been possible had Marvel decided to stick to the original plan. That involved a brief cameo for Henson in the first episode, and would have been more of ‘fan service,’ rather than a genuine story tool.

No. Glad they didn't go with that

It’s only 9 episodes now?

I believe so, but I don't even remember what it was originally. Was it 18 episodes, 2 seasons?

Just copy-pasting the quote in the article:

Elden wasn’t invited to join the show at first…they had written in a cameo in the first episode to end the link between the shows and give the old fans closure, but they scrapped that in the new version.

– Charlie Cox on the original version they had for DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN:

Hence, the initial plan was to include a sheer cameo in the first episode, which would have explained why Foggy Nelson no longer remained the kind of staunch ally for Daredevil as seen in the first series.

While I'm excited for what this show seems to be now (closer to the Netflix series I'm hoping), I'm still a bit disappointed that they thought the original/early draft was their plan. In any case, super excited for this show; March can't come soon enough!
