Fan Support Could Potentially Initiate a Daredevil Film, According to Charlie Cox
Kicking it Old-School: Daredevil's Potential Big Screen Return
It's been six years since Daredevil graced our screens, first on Netflix, then on Disney+. AND boy, have fans been loving this superhero for a full decade! Actor Charlie Cox, who plays the titular character, thinks the same level of passion could propel our Hornhead friend back onto the silver screen.
In a recent chat at the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, Cox admitted that he wasn't the best person to ask about the likelihood of a Daredevil movie. After all, he's out of the loop! Any inquiries should go straight to the bigwigs - Disney, Marvel, you know the drill. "Pen some letters, just let 'em flood in," he suggested. For Cox, the show's cinematic feel wasn't too far off - the cast and team got to catch the first two episodes of every season in theaters, something he believes is a "total must" for everyone, not just the creators.
Now, Cox might just be pulling our leg, a thing he's rather good at when it comes to this character. But, if there's ever a time for a movie comeback, it seems like now is it: Deadpool & Wolverine revived Jennifer Garner's Elektra (remember her from the 2003 Daredevil and her solo flick?), and Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars, both delayed, are eyeing a final hurrah for the old X-Men crew. And, if neither of those pans out, there's always "Spidey" - Cox has already reprised the role for the animated Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set for 2026.
Wherever Matt Murdock pops up next, outside of his show's anticipated return in 2026, Cox's thrilled to keep the story going. And if this enthusiasm is any indicator, fans are ready to tag along for the ride.
