Fan Support Could Potentially Trigger a Daredevil Film With Charlie Cox's Involvement
In the realm of small screen superheroes, Daredevil has been a dominating force since 2015 across Netflix and Disney+. Fans have kept this gritty hero alive on television for well over a decade, and actor Charlie Cox believes that same ardent fanbase could bring ol' hornhead to the big screen once more.
In a recent chat at the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, Cox admitted he wasn't the person to ask about the prospects of a Daredevil movie, as he's behind the loop on those matters. The real decision-makers are Disney and Marvel, he suggested, implying fans should make their opinions count by "writing letters" for the cause. For Cox, the series' cinematic experience isn't light years away: the cast and crew had the privilege of watching the first two episodes of every season in theaters, something he thought was a "deserving" experience for the masses.
Despite his casual dismissal, Cox could be as crafty as his character. If there were ever a time to transition Daredevil to the silver screen, fans think it might be now. With the reintroduction of Jennifer Garner's Elektra in Deadpool & Wolverine, the delay of Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars, and the possibility of resurrecting the old X-Men for one final hurrah, a movie seems like a viable option. And if not that, there's always the animated Spider-Man franchise, where Cox has already reprised his role for Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day in 2026.
Naturally, the question remains: where will Daredevil surface next, aside from the Season 2 premiere of Daredevil: Born Again in 2026? Cox seems eager to continue telling Matt Murdock's story, so fans are ready to follow him on his next adventure.
When it comes to additional MCU appearances, it's all up in the air. The enigmatic man without fear might surface in other projects that align with his street-level hero persona, but until more official information is dropped, we can only speculate.
Stay tuned for the latest updates on Marvel, Star Wars, and Star Trek, and learn more about the future of the DC Universe on film and TV, and the future of Doctor Who.
