Fan support could potentially lead to a Daredevil film with Charlie Cox reprising his role.
Daredevil Stays Strong on the Small Screen, but Fans Want Him Back in the Cinemas
For close to a decade now, Daredevil has held a firm grip on TV screens, first on Netflix and now on Disney+. With such a passionate following, actor Charlie Cox believes that the same enthusiasm could bring Daredevil back for a big-screen comeback.
In a conversation at the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, Cox admitted he was the wrong person to approach about the prospects of a Daredevil movie, claiming ignorance about the matter. Instead, he urged fans to address the "bigwigs," aka Disney and Marvel, suggesting they should pen some persuasive letters.
Cox might have a knack for deception, a skill honed during his time as this character. Should there be an opportune moment for Daredevil to grace the silver screen once more, fans reckon it's now: Jennifer Garner's Elektra, a character from the 2003 Daredevil and her solo movie, resurfaced in Deadpool & Wolverine. The impending Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars, delayed productions that promise the return of the old X-Men, could provide another possible platform. Not to forget, Cox has already donned the Daredevil suit for the animated Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day in 2026.
As for Daredevil's next major appearance beyond his own show's return in 2026, Cox remains optimistic about sharing Matt Murdock's tale and expresses continued excitement about the role. And if Cox's enthusiasm is any indication, fans stand ready to join him on this new journey.
