Rumors abound that actor Charlie Cox is reprising his role as Matt Murddock/Daredevil in Spider-Man: Now Way Home coming out next month.
Giant Freaking Robot: Spider-Man: No Way Home is finally coming to theaters on December 17, 2021. When it does, all kinds of reveals are expected to be made. While Marvel continues to deny that the movie will have multiple Spider-Mans breaking through the multiverse, many consider it to be the worst kept secret in Marvel history. There are also reports that Charlie Cox will appear in the movie. The appearance of Charlie Cox as Daredevil in a Spider-Man movie is something audiences would like to see, but so far, we don’t have any confirmation on whether he’s in No Way Home. We did go digging, though, and found something else. Thanks to some work from our trusted and proven sources, we’ve exclusively learned that Charlie Cox signed a deal to co-star in Spider-Man 4 as Daredevil.
The Hollywood Reporter: During a recent interview with Jessica Shaw on SiriusXM, the actor said there’s been a lot of speculation among fans about whether he will reprise the role of the blind superhero post the beloved Netflix series. And he admits playing Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil, once more is not an unattractive thought. “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.”
Den of Geek: Contextually, the long-running rumor of Cox returning to play Murdock/Daredevil gained significant momentum when trade TV Line (a PMC corporate sibling of Variety and Deadline,) ran a report last December claiming that the actor will reprise his Netflix series character on the big screen in the then-unnamed threequel we now know as Spider-Man: No Way Home. While the claim remains unconfirmed, it nevertheless chummed the proverbial waters for speculative sharks. Yet, one aspect of the report that we know to be true is the notion that there is nothing—legally or logistically—standing in the way of Cox’s prospective role reprisal, seeing as the licensed exclusivity Netflix once held to bring Daredevil to their streaming platform expired in November 2020, two whole years after the show’s third-and-final season premiered.
