Fan support could potentially lead to another Daredevil movie, according to Charlie Cox.

Ever since 2015, Daredevil has ruled the small screen across his two shows on Netflix and Disney+. The character's zealous fanbase has kept him alive on TV for the past decade, and actor Charlie Cox thinks that same passion could see ol' hornhead return to the silver screen.
During a recent interview at the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, Cox said he was the "least informed person" about a potential Daredevil movie, leaving the discussions to "the bigwigs" or Disney and Marvel. Cox encouraged fans to write supportive letters to the powers that be. For him, the show's theatrical vibe was already there, as the cast and crew watched the first two episodes of every season in movie theaters—something he thinks the show "deserves" for everyone.
Now, Cox might just be pulling our legs, but if Daredevil does make a comeback on the big screen, fans think it'd be the perfect time. Deadpool & Wolverine recently reintroduced Jennifer Garner's Elektra (from the 2003 Daredevil and her own solo movie) on the big screen, and the recently delayed Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars may bring the old X-Men back for one final farewell. And if not there, Cox could always reprise his role for the animated Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man or the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day in 2026.
It's unclear at this point where Daredevil will appear next, outside of his own show Daredevil: Born Again, slated to return in 2026. Marvel Studios has, however, shown interest in blending characters from the Netflix series into the main Marvel Universe, which could potentially lead to appearances in other shows or movies. In fact, Jessica Jones, another member of the Defenders, is confirmed to feature in the second season of Daredevil: Born Again, hinting at a possible expansion of street-level heroes within the Marvel Universe.
Although nothing concrete has been announced yet, the show's success and its annual release strategy suggest there might be more crossovers in the future. Marvel is working tirelessly on new content, including movies and shows that could involve characters from the Daredevil series. So, keep those fingers crossed, 'cause we might just see Daredevil show up somewhere unexpected!
