Fan support could potentially instigate a Daredevil film, according to Charlie Cox's perspective.
In the tumultuous world of small-screen superheroes, Daredevil has been ruling the roost since 2015, gracing our screens on Netflix and Disney+. This fearless vigilante has managed to keep fans gripped to the storyline for the past decade, with actor Charlie Cox hinting that the challenges might lead ol' hornhead back to the big screen.
In a chat at the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, Cox admitted he wasn't the best person to ask about a movie revival, suggesting that the decision lies squarely with the grown-ups, aka Disney and Marvel. In his words, "Write letters, just everyone write letters." The show, for him, already shares a cinematic experience, as the cast and crew would watch the first two episodes of every season in theaters—an experience he believes the fans also deserve.
Now, Cox may be pulling our leg like a pro when it comes to this devilish character. With the reprisal of Jennifer Garner's Elektra in recent movies like Deadpool & Wolverine and the delayed Avengers: Doomsday that promises a grand comeback of the old X-Men, there's a strong possibility that Daredevil might follow suit. And if not there, we might catch him in the animated world, reprising his role for the upcoming Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man in 2026 or even Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
Where Daredevil surfaces next, aside from Daredevil: Born Again, which is set to return in March 20261, remains uncertain. With his prominent place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, particularly as a gritty street-level hero, a crossover with other MCU projects or movies featuring street-level characters is plausible3. Possible projects include the Punisher special, although no talks about Daredevil's involvement have been made public yet[4].
For now, fans can only wait for official announcements from Marvel Studios regarding Daredevil's future appearances outside of Daredevil: Born Again. In the meantime, Cox is more than happy to keep spinning Matt Murdock's tales, expressing his unwavering excitement to be part of the action. And if his enthusiasm and our demand are any indicators, we're more than ready to join him on this thrilling adventure.
