Fan-instigated Daredevil film could potentially materialize, per Charlie Cox's perspective.
Since 2015, the character of Daredevil has maintained a significant presence on television screens across Netflix and Disney+. The fanbase's continued support has kept the titular hero on television for over a decade, and actor Charlie Cox suggests that this passionate fanbase could potentially bring Daredevil back to the big screen.
During a recent interview at the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, Cox, who plays Matt Murdock, expressed he was not the best person to ask about the prospects of a Daredevil film, as any inquiries or demands should be directed to Disney and Marvel Studios. Encouraging fans to express their interest, Cox suggested, "Write letters, just everyone write letters." According to Cox, the show's cinematic experience was not too distant, as the cast and crew were able to watch the first two episodes of each season in theaters, a treatment he felt was deserving for all viewers.
While Cox may be adept at acting, he may also be skilled at deception when it comes to portraying Daredevil, and it is not known whether he is being truthful about a potential film. However, with the recent resurfacing of Jennifer Garner's Elektra in the Deadpool and Wolverine films and the delayed Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars offering potential opportunities for the return of the X-Men, Daredevil's potential entrance into the movies abounds. Another possibility could involve Cox reprising his role for future Spider-Man animated series or films, with a 2026 project tentatively in the works for the character.
If Daredevil appears outside of his own show's upcoming second season in 2026, Cox has expressed enthusiasm for continuing the story of Matt Murdock. The actor emphasized, "I'm so thrilled to be here." With the persistent fandom following him, it appears audiences are eager to join him on whatever adventures lie ahead.
As of May 2025, there are no confirmed plans for Daredevil's appearances in Marvel films or animated projects outside of his solo series. However, the arrival of his latest TV venture, Daredevil: Born Again, premiering on Disney+ in March 2025, has left the door open for further integration of street-level heroes in larger Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) projects.
Fans have speculated about possible crossovers with Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist, but no official announcements have been made regarding Daredevil's involvement in other animated series or films. The continued success of Daredevil: Born Again could signify the MCU's openness to exploring further street-level crossovers in future seasons or specials. For now, Daredevil's confirmed appearances remain within his own live-action series and related streaming events.
- The future of Daredevil's cinematic journey could be influenced by the fervent fanbase, as suggested by actor Charlie Cox during an interview, urging fans to express their interest via letters.
- With the delay of Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars and the recent resurfacing of characters like Elektra in films, Daredevil's potential inclusion in movies is a viable possibility.
- If Daredevil were to appear outside of his own show's upcoming second season in 2026, there's a chance he might reprise his role in future Spider-Man animated series or films, according to the actor's sentiment.
