Fan Support May Be Adequate to Facilitate a Daredevil Film, Suggests Charlie Cox
Daredevil, the popular Marvel character portrayed by Charlie Cox, has graced the small screen on Netflix and Disney+ for the past six years. Fans' enthusiasm for the character has kept the vigilante alive on television for a decade. During a recent interview, Cox suggested that viewers express their preference for a potential big-screen return, directing appeals to Disney and Marvel.
In the SAG-AFTRA Foundation discussion, Cox admitted to being poorly informed about the possibility of a Daredevil film, emphasizing that Disney and Marvel should receive all queries and demands. He hinted at the theater viewing experiences during the production of the series, arguing that the opportunity should be extended to the audience, who rightfully deserve it.
While Cox's statements may be tactical, fans argue that the present moment offers an ideal opportunity for the character's return to the silver screen. Recent developments such as the resurrection of Jennifer Garner's Elektra in Deadpool and Wolverine and the delayed Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars, promising a final appearance of the original X-Men, have fueled these hopes. Additionally, Cox's reprisal of the role for the animated Spider-Man series and a potential Spider-Man: Brand New Day in 2026 support the speculation.
At present, Daredevil's confirmed future lies solely in the Disney+ series Daredevil: Born Again, set to premiere in 2026. Despite strong audience support for the series and the potential for multiseason runs and spinoffs featuring other Defenders characters, there are currently no confirmed plans for Daredevil's appearance in other Marvel movies or TV projects, outside of the aforementioned show[1][2].
As the anticipated arrival of Daredevil: Born Again approaches, Cox remains eager to continue the story, expressing his delight at being associated with the character. The resilient fanbase stands ready to join him on this next adventure.
