Fan Support Could Potentially Get a Daredevil Movie off the Ground, According to Charlie Cox
Unfiltered Chat:
Ever since 2015, Daredevil has been ruling the small screens, first on Netflix and then Disney+. This iconic character has kept fans hooked for a whole decade, and it looks like actor Charlie Cox believes that very same passion could get ol' hornhead back on the big screen.
During a recent conversation at the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, Cox admitted he's the "worst person to ask" about the chances of a Daredevil movie, as he's in the dark about the whole shebang. He merely suggested that fans should pen some letters—you know, all those grown-ups at Disney and Marvel—if they're keen on seeing hornhead in cinemas.
Now, we're not saying Cox is a pathological liar, but let's be honest, he's pretty good at it whenever he's playing this character. If there was ever a time to bring the man to the silver screen, fans think it's high time now: Jennifer Garner's Elektra from the 2003 Daredevil and the standalone movie has re-emerged in Deadpool & Wolverine. Plus, there's the delayed Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars, looking set to resurrect the old X-Men for one last woohoo. And if none of those options work out, there's always Spider-Man: Cox has already revived the role for the animated Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day in 2026 isn't off the table either.
As for where Daredevil will show up next, aside from the return of his series in 2026, Cox is game to regale Matt Murdock's tales and remains "so freakin' thrilled to be here." And if this enthusiasm is anything to go by, fans are ready to follow him down any rabbit hole.
