Fan support for a potential Daredevil film, according to Charlie Cox, may hold the key to its realization.
Since 2015, the gritty vigilante Daredevil has been a constant presence on television screens, spanning two series on Netflix and Disney+. With the upcoming return of the character in "Daredevil: Born Again" on Disney+ in 2026, fanscontinue to rally behind the character, and actor Charlie Cox expresses his hope that the audience's passion could propel Daredevil back onto the big screen.
In a recent interview with SAG-AFTRA Foundation, Cox, who plays the title character, admitted that he was the wrong person to ask about the chances of a Daredevil movie, as he has no inside information on the matter. He urged fans to express their interest directly to Disney and Marvel, stating, "Write letters, just everyone write letters." Cox mentioned that the screenings of the first two episodes of every season in theaters made the show feel cinematic and explained that he believes everyone should have the opportunity to experience it on the big screen.
Rumors swirl about potential MARVEL Cinematic Universe (MCU) appearances for Daredevil beyond his own show. For instance, the reintroduction of Jennifer Garner's Elektra in "Deadpool & Wolverine" as well as the delayed releases of "Avengers: Doomsday" and "Secret Wars" could offer opportunities for the old X-Men to join the fray. In addition, Cox's past appearances as Daredevil extend to the animated series "Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man" and the upcoming "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" in 2026.
Despite the lack of official confirmation regarding Daredevil's presence in upcoming MCU films or series, several developments and industry trends suggest potential crossovers. Marvel Studios has shown interest in bringing back more members of the Defenders, such as Jessica Jones, who will appear in the second season of "Born Again." This opens the door for future crossover opportunities between Daredevil and other street-level heroes.
In comics, Daredevil remains a prominent figure, with new titles and specials such as "Daredevil: Cold Day in Hell (2025)" and ongoing series starring the character in an armored costume. Furthermore, Daredevil frequently appears in crossover events and team-up titles, keeping him connected with other Marvel characters.
Looking ahead, Daredevil's future outside of his own show appears to involve more crossovers with Jessica Jones and other street-level heroes, but as of now, there are no official announcements regarding his appearances in upcoming MCU films or other series beyond "Born Again"[1][4][5]. His presence in the comics remains strong, with new storylines and appearances regularly debuting[3][2].
