Charlie Cox has once again addressed the rumors that he will return to play Daredevil in a future MCU film or TV show.
During an interview with Jessica Shaw on SiriusXM, Cox waded into the waters regarding all the rumors that he’ll be reprising the role in an upcoming Marvel Studios project.
“What happens in the comics is a writer and an artist will team up for a run of a comic, so they’ll do 10 issues, 20 issues,” Cox said. “If there was an opportunity for me to come back as Daredevil, whatever that would look like, I imagine it would be a reimagining of the character and the show. If they choose me to do it, there are going to be some elements that are, of course, the same. Or they might choose someone else and reboot it all over again.”
While Cox has so far seemed excited about the potential to suit up as the Man Without Fear again, the actor wasn’t afraid to address the possible downfalls of the scenario.
“You’ve got to be careful what you wish for,” Cox continued. “You come back and it’s not as good or it doesn’t quite work or… too much time has passed, it doesn’t quite come together in the same way. You don’t want to taint what you’ve already got. If we never come back, you’ve got these three great seasons — and our third season was our best-reviewed. So, the trajectory was up. I am tremendously proud and grateful for what we have.”
Rumors have swirled that Cox will appear in Spider-Man: No Way Home as Matt Murdock. There have also been reports that the actor will appear alongside fellow super-attorney Jessica Walters on Disney+’s She-Hulk. And a recent report claims Cox will appear on the Echo spinoff series, which Alaqua Cox will headline after debuting as the hero on Hawkeye later this month.
Aside from the possible return of Cox as Daredevil, there have been rumors that Marvel is seeking to bring back Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones and Vincent D’Onofrio’s Wilson Fisk. For now, however, these are only rumors — albeit ones with tremendous fan support.
Cox can currently be seen on the AMC+ series Kin.
