Fan Support Could Potentially Initiate a Daredevil Film, According to Charlie Cox
Pulling Back the Curtain on Daredevil: A Rewrite
Over the past seven years, the gripping tale of Daredevil has unfolded on our screens, gracing our minds through his two shows on Netflix and Disney+. Fan enthusiasm has kept this gritty hero in the limelight, and actor Charlie Cox hints that this passion could catapult ol' hornhead onto the big screen once more.
During a recent chat at the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, Cox admitted that he's the wrong person to ask about a Daredevil movie since he has no inside scoop. The real deals are Disney and Marvel. "Fire off those letters, everybody write letters," he encouraged. For Cox, the small-screen Marvel experience isn't worlds apart from the cinematic powerhouse it deserves thanks to the perks of watching the first two episodes of each season in theaters.
Cox's coyness notwithstanding, there's a strong case to be made for a silver-screen comeback, especially given recent developments. Jennifer Garner's Elektra has reemerged in Deadpool 3 and Wolverine, and the impending Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars productions could see the old X-Men make a grand farewell. But if those avenues prove elusive, there's always Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and Spider-Man: Brand New Day in 2026, where Cox has already revived the role.
As for where Daredevil could reappear next, Daredevil: Born Again, set to return on our screens in 2026, is a promising start. Cox is eager to continue telling Daredevil's story and remains "totally stoked to be here." Fans, it seems, are eager to join him on this journey.
