Fan Support Could Potentially Instigate a Daredevil Film, Opines Charlie Cox
Title: Bring Daredevil Back on the Big Screen: Charlie Cox Teases Possibilities
In the world of small screens, powerful vigilante Daredevil has held his own since 2015, gracing Netflix and Disney+ audiences with his gripping saga. His dedicated fanbase is the driving force behind the character's continuous presence on our screens for the past decade. Actor Charlie Cox believes the same fervor could steer Daredevil back onto the silver screen.
During a recent discussion at the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, Cox admitted that he's far from the right person to ask about the likelihood of a Daredevil film. The real movers and shakers are Disney and Marvel; pen your heartfelt pleas to these bigwigs instead. He suggested fans rally together and send letters, stoking the flames of enthusiasm.
Cox might be playing the humble card, but his acting chops are strong enough to pull off a darn good lie when it comes to embodying this gritty character. The stars may align for a big screen comeback if there's a perfect opportunity—like the recent resurrection of Jennifer Garner's Elektra in Deadpool & Wolverine, or the postponed Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars. And if both don't pan out, there's always the possibility of a reunion with Spider-Man. Cox has already lent his voice to the role in the animated Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, and another appearance in Spider-Man: Brand New Day might be in the cards for 2026.
Regardless of where we catch Daredevil next, outside his own series' return in 2026, Cox is more than happy to breathe life into Matt Murdock's soul-stirring journey. His enthusiasm for the character remains steadfast, and if the fandom's eagerness is any indication, fans are ready to join him on this thrilling ride.
