Fan support could potentially instigate a Daredevil film, notes Charlie Cox
Daredevil's Future in the Cinematic Universe Under Discussion
Since 2015, the blind vigilante Daredevil has been a staple on small screens, primarily on Netflix and Disney+. Owing to the immense fan support, the character has kept this television presence for a full decade. Actor Charlie Cox, who portrays this iconic character, hints that this could potentially translate to a return to the big screen.
In a recent interview at the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, Cox suggested that inquiries about a Daredevil film would be more appropriately directed to Disney and Marvel, as he is seemingly uninformed on the matter. He playfully urged viewers to write letters in hopes of nudging the "grown-ups" to consider a big-screen comeback for the Man Without Fear.
The appeal for a cinematic reprisal seems ripe, given the successful reintroduction of Jennifer Garner's Elektra in Deadpool and Wolverine, and the delayed Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars, both of which might offer opportunities for the old X-Men cast. Additionally, there is the possibility of Cox reprising his role in future Spider-Man productions, such as Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and Spider-Man: Brand New Day in 2026.
However, there's no official confirmation regarding Daredevil's appearance beyond his series, Daredevil: Born Again, which is slated for a second season in March 2026[3]. While Marvel Studios has shown interest in integrating characters from various series into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), specifics about Daredevil's future roles remain undisclosed.
Cox appears open to revisiting Matt Murdock's story, expressing his continued enthusiasm for the character[1][5]. Should Daredevil make an appearance outside of Daredevil: Born Again, fans are eager to accompany their favorite hero on his next adventure.
