Charlie Cox Will Return As Marvels Daredevil

Charlie Cox, who played Daredevil in the hit Netflix series, is remaining as the MCU's Matt Murdock, Marvel boss Kevin Feige has confirmed.

It’s official – Charlie Cox will remain the MCU’s Daredevil, Marvel boss Kevin Feige has confirmed. He just won't say when we'll see that return.

During an interview with CinemaBlend, Feige revealed that fan-favourite Charlie Cox will be back as Marvel’s Daredevil:

“If you were to see Daredevil in upcoming things, Charlie Cox, yes, would be the actor playing Daredevil,” he said. “Where we see that, how we see that, when we see that, remains to be seen.”

Cox played the blind lawyer-turned-superhero Matt Murdock in the hit Netflix series, Daredevil. But with the series cancelled after a three-season run, it looked as though his time as Daredevil had run out. Now, it looks as though Daredevil will be back.

But where will he appear next? And will his co-stars be along for the ride? Karen Page (played by Deborah Ann-Woll) and Foggy Nelson (played by Elden Henson) helped keep Cox’s Murdock grounded during the hit TV series. And with Vincent D’Onofrio as the big bad Kingpin, you have to wonder whether these guys will show up when Cox eventually returns – especially after hints that Kingpin is back in Hawkeye.

Have you watched Daredevil?

YESNO

Cox has previously discussed his legacy as Daredevil and doesn’t want to let the fans down.

“You don’t want to taint what you’ve already got,” he explained. “If we never come back, you’ve got these three great seasons — and our third season was our best-reviewed. So, the trajectory was up. I am tremendously proud and grateful for what we have.”

The rights to Daredevil recently returned to Disney, making an upcoming appearance far more likely. And with rumours that Charlie Cox would be back in Spider-Man: No Way Home, we may see him back as Matt Murdock sooner rather than later.

“It's certainly not with my Daredevil,” Cox said, denying the rumours. “I'm not involved in it. If that's true, it's not with me. It's with another actor.”

Despite those protestations, it looks as though Charlie Cox’s time as the Man Without Fear is far from over. Where we see him next, remains to be seen.
