Earlier this week, we shared a rumour that Charlie Cox's Daredevil will likely play a role in Avengers: Doomsday. That may be as a Variant or in a key supporting role which finally shows the Man Without Fear assemble alongside Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
We know Cox is gearing up to begin work on Daredevil: Born Again season 2 ahead of the first season's debut on March 4 but DFRNT Health and Fitness appears to have just confirmed plans for the actor to join the Avengers franchise.
"It’s been Awesome having Charlie and his wife, Sam Cox in at DFRNT over the past few weeks!" reads a social post from the gym. "Charlie is currently training for his role in the upcoming @marvel Avengers movie where he will play @daredevil."
"It’s been our absolute pleasure working with you both and we can’t wait to watch you on the big screen!"
We can't imagine they plucked Avengers out of thin air, particularly with cameras gearing up to roll on Daredevil: Born Again season 2 imminently. Cox is bound to have mentioned what project he's preparing for so it seems we can add him to Avengers: Doomsday's cast list.
It's about time Daredevil is given a bigger sandbox to play in. While we don't know what he'll bring to the table in the next Avengers movies, seeing the lawyer and vigilante fighting alongside Spider-Man, for example, would be a dream come true for many fans. A reunion with She-Hulk might also be on the cards.
"I have to be so careful," Cox shared at FanExpo Chicago earlier this year. "Look, I can't! I'm not going to say, there [are] so many [characters to team up with]. There's one particular group of people that I would like to be invited to play with... but we'll get into that a little bit later!"
Check out the post below and stay tuned for updates as we have them.
