Fan support could potentially ignite a Daredevil film, according to Charlie Cox
Here's the revised version of the article:
For the past half-decade, Daredevil has been a small-screen powerhouse, gracing our screens through two shows on Netflix and Disney+. Fans have kept this gritty superhero alive on television for over a decade, and it seems Charlie Cox, the man behind the crimson mask, thinks another big-screen comeback isn't entirely off the table.
In a recent interview at the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, Cox, known for his ability to convincingly lie when playing Daredevil, admitted he's not the person to ask about the potential for a Daredevil movie. Any questions or demands should be directed to "the bigwigs," aka Disney and Marvel. "Give 'em a ring, just everyone give 'em a ring," he suggested. For Cox, the distinction between TV and cinema isn't quite as definite as it might seem to us. After all, the cast and crew got to watch the first two episodes of every season in theaters, something he thinks it's only "fair" everyone should experience, not just those involved in creating the show.
Now, let's be real, Cox might just be stirring the pot. If there were any time for a return to the silver screen, the universe is shaping up for it now. Deadpool and Wolverine have successfully reintroduced Jennifer Garner's Elektra, another Daredevil character, to audiences, and the delayed Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars have ambitions to bring back the old X-Men for one final bow. If not there, there's always Spider-Man: Cox has already reprised his role in the animated Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and is lined up to do so again for Spider-Man: Brand New Day in 2026.
Wherever Daredevil decides to surface next, outside of his own show returning in 2026, Cox is ready to keep the narrative going. He remains "so thrilled to be here" and if the fan reaction is any indication, we're ready to follow him wherever his journey takes us.
