DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN Star Charlie Cox Officially Reveals Whether He'll Appear In AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY

Daredevil: Born Again star Charlie Cox has revealed whether he'll appear in Avengers: Doomsday, but this might not be the answer some of you were hoping for. He also teases some big season 2 cameos...

Filed Under: Avengers: Doomsday

When Charlie Cox first starred in Daredevil, Marvel Television was a (mostly) separate entity from Marvel Studios. That meant the odds of his Man Without Fear showing up in theaters were slim (though it didn't stop fans hoping the Defenders might walk through one of Avengers: Endgame's portals).

Cox has since been brought into the MCU, appearing in Spider-Man: No Way Home, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, and Echo, before taking centre stage in Daredevil: Born Again earlier this year. 

Marvel Studios' approach to its streaming offerings has changed over the past year or two, and it seems there will be a more definitive line between big and small screen characters. As a result, Matt Murdock may remain solely on Disney+ rather than swinging into Avengers: Doomsday and Spider-Man: Brand New Day, for example.

Cox has repeatedly said that he'd like to assemble alongside Earth's Mightiest Heroes, but asked today about possibly appearing in Avengers: Doomsday, the actor bluntly stated, "Not me. I'm excited to see it, but I'm not involved in that."

He could be telling a little white lie, but unfortunately, we don't think he's playing coy here. For starters, with Daredevil: Born Again set in such a specific moment, it would be hard to fit 'ol Hornhead into a Multiversal battle with Doctor Doom.

This is a shame, though, and we remain optimistic that Daredevil will eventually get a chance to wow audiences in theaters. 

As for whether fans can expect any big cameos in Daredevil: Born Again season 2, Cox replied, "Yeah" (he was clearly being careful not to say anything he shouldn't). 

You can hear more from the actor in the players below. 

In Marvel Television's Daredevil: Born Again, Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), a blind lawyer with heightened abilities is fighting for justice through his bustling law firm, while former mob boss Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio) pursues his own political endeavors in New York. When their past identities begin to emerge, both men find themselves on an inevitable collision course.

The series also stars Margarita Levieva, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, Zabryna Guevara, Nikki James, Genneya Walton, Arty Froushan, Clark Johnson, Michael Gandolfini, with Ayelet Zurer and Jon Bernthal. Dario Scardapane is showrunner.

"A masterpiece of epic proportions, Daredevil: Born Again delivers a powerful, unmissable take on the Man Without Fear," we said in our review"Putting street-level heroics on the map in a way that promises to change the MCU forever, the show is sublime superhero storytelling on a whole new level."

All episodes of Daredevil: Born Again are now streaming on Disney+. As for season 2, that's set to premiere next year.

Is this like Garfield confirming he was in No Way Home by repeatedly denying he was in No Way Home

@BrainySleep - I hope so. Otherwise what’s the difference between the old Netflix shows and the new MCU shows that are supposed to connect? I thought the whole point in bringing on the old show actors was to connect them to the MCU more solid?

if Charlie Cox doesnt appear at least in Secret Wars, all this jorney since his return would be a big waste, now that he is finally in the MCU under Marvel Studios's team.

He deserves to crossover to the movies, almost the one that deserves it the most.

@gambgel - I think that goes for all Disney+ characters. Makes sense the movie characters are at the forefront in Doomsday, but there should be room for the rest in Secret Wars. Even if it's just to hold off the foot army

@gambgel - He will 100% most definitely going to be in Secret Wars, even if he's not in Doomsday.

@bkmeijer1 - Totally agree. It makes sense that the street level characters wouldn't really know what was going on or what Doom was up to in Doomsday, being as he's probably going to begin amassing power at the beginning of DD and go from there. If I had to guess, "F4"FS" could end with the F4 using Franklin to stave off Galactus and save their Earth but once Doom sees the kid's power and what he could do with it, he kidnaps the kid and heads to 616, with the F4 following to try to save Franklin, which ends with their view of the post credits scene in "TB*".

Then you have the F4 trying to find Franklin, Doom with him in Latveria, and the F4 teaming up with the TB initially (then ultimately the Avengers), meanwhile Doom uses Franklin to create Battleworld (thinking that he's saving the Multiverse by stopping the incursions), which is how "DD" ends. So if that's anywhere close to how the plot goes for "DD" it wouldn't make sense for the street level heroes to be in it YET. But once Doom has created Battleworld (presumably with a twisted version of NYC) then that's where you could see the street level heroes in "SW", along with Spidey, which could then tie into "SM4".

Anyhow, just kinda spitballing there, but that would make the most sense to me.

bkmeijer1 - 5/14/2025, 3:49 AM
@StSteven - that's an interesting way of working Franklin into the plot. Could see FF also ends with the team just fleeing themselves to keep Franklin save.

As for Battleworld and Secret Wars, I could definitely see New York (and San Francisco) be part of Battleworld. Although it's weird for Doom to take those places, considering most heroes live there.
StSteven
StSteven - 5/14/2025, 7:27 PM
@bkmeijer1 - Yeah, it could be as simple Galactus says "Give me Franklin or I'll devour your Earth" and the Reed gives him the middle finger, they all jump into their ship, and head to 616. But then that could mean that Galactus does devour their Earth and Reed is responsible for(which would be out of character for him but then have HUGE emotional ramifications). OR they use Franklin to lure Galactus to 616 thereby saving their Earth but potentially endangering the 616 universe. Kind of a "damed if you do, damned if you don't" scenario, which would be pretty interesting either way.

Regarding Battleworld, I could see it basically being like Doom learns that the incursions are happening and that there's no way to stop them, so he decides that the only way is to create the one perfect world with Latveria as its capitol and he as its king (similar to the current "One World Under Doom" comic run). So either through Franklin, Loki, Wanda, or a combination of all of them he pieces together his "perfect world" from what he considers to be the best parts of all worlds across the Multiverse , including 616 NYC, 616 SF, 616 Sakaar, a different universe's Asgard, etc. The NYC part could also include upstate NY from 10005, which would be how the X-Men come into the picture.

As to your point about Doom picking areas that have a large concentration of heroes, maybe that's the point. He may be so self-deluded and convinced that what he's doing is the right thing and that he's the only one who can rule over this new world, that he decides he needs his own elite group of warriors to serve as his team, which is why he selects the places he does. Then, in "A:SW" he pits them all against each other so that only the strongest survive to be his team. Only they end up turning against him and teaming up to take him down. But, of course, by then he has the power of Franklin/Loki/Wanda so he's nigh omnipotent.

Anyhow, again I'm just spitballing here but that sounds like 2 movies I would sure as hell see in the theater. 😉

@StSteven - honestly, I think there's a decent chance you're now far off. I could just repeat this elsewehere with an ''I heard'' in front of it, and before you know this is rumoured to be a leaked story outline
StSteven
StSteven - 5/15/2025, 5:24 PM
@bkmeijer1 - And to take it a step further, if I'm correct and Doom assembles his Battleworld/Battleuniverse from the best parts of the other universes in the Multiverse, then that could be how we end up with the soft reboot/new Sacred Timeline/new MCU moving forward after "A:SW". Marvel can pretty much pick the stuff they want to keep from all the Fox stuff and current/past MCU stuff and use it moving forward and essentially "blame" Doom for however the MCU looks moving forward.

And, yes, feel free to post this all in an article from a reliable source called "MyTimeToGlistenH" because it's pretty hot where I'm at right now and I'm getting a little sweaty 😉.

bkmeijer1 - 5/16/2025, 1:09 AM
@StSteven - I really doubt we'll get a reboot. At best we'll get a few new actors in roles like that of Black Panther, but outside of that I really don't think they're gonna erase all that unique history of the MCU. They're even bringing back the X-Men since they can't seem to let that go either
StSteven
StSteven - 5/16/2025, 5:33 PM
@bkmeijer1 - I didn't mean full-on reboot (as some folks are clamoring for and expecting), and I certainly don't want that, given the extensive history that they've build over the year. I meant more of a... new status quo. A level setting. Phases 4 & 5 were undeniably messy, give a whole variety of factors, one of which was the purchase of Fox by Disney. Just that alone, suddenly having access to all these characters that Marvel didn't before, was bound to be something of a mess when trying to integrate those characters into the MCU. Add in everything else going on at the time and it was something of a "perfect storm".

So they had to come up with some way to deal with it all and move forward once the dust settles, and to me "A:DD" and "A:SW" seems like the best way to do all that. Now how much of everything that's happened and will happen is by design and how much is by circumstance is and will be up for debate, and ultimately history will be the judge of that, but for now all we know is that they're likely recasting all of the X-Men characters for the MCU version, and beyond that, who knows? We'll just have to wait and see.

But my point is that for whatever changes to the MCU they want to make moving forward, these 2 movies (especially SW) is the time to do it, because it's all pretty much been set up with all the Multiverse stuff so far.

@StSteven - okay yeah, gotcha. That makes sense
StSteven
StSteven - 5/17/2025, 12:02 AM
@bkmeijer1 - Yeah I kinda think that Marvel knew that phases 4-6 were going to be a cluster f**k just with the character rights thing alone. Then you add in COVID, the emergence of D+, the strikes, Chapek's agenda, and holy shit that's just a recipe for disaster. I'm not trying to be an apologist for Marvel, but seriously it's kinda remarkable that we actually got as much good content out of the last 3-4 years as we have.

Anyhow, it seems like they've "cleaned house" and "righted the ship" (don't you LOVE all these business euphemisms?), and if "DD:BA" and "TB*" are any indication, we should be back to "Give me Marvel, black, hold the Chapek." Cheers! 🍻

bkmeijer1 - 5/17/2025, 7:40 AM
@StSteven - if you put it like that, then yeah a lot did happen that influenced output. Now that's behind, I look forward to the next few years. Only the good seems to remain
StSteven
StSteven - 5/17/2025, 11:25 PM
@bkmeijer1 - Well we still have a couple of D+ shows that were the product of the Chapek era to get through, but as far as movies go that seems to be behind us after "CA:BNW". "TB*" was a good start but I think that the real test as far as the movies are concerned will be"FF:FS", but everything that I've seen from that so far looks really positive to me, so fingers crossed man. 😊

bkmeijer1 - 5/18/2025, 4:35 AM
@StSteven - think Ironheart is the last of that era, especially since it apparently has finished filming over a year ago. Wonder Man and Vision had enough time for revamps like Daredevil.

Also FF:FS makes me think it stands for For Fuсking Fuсk's Sake (or is it Fuсks

StSteven
StSteven - 5/18/2025, 11:33 PM
@bkmeijer1 - Yeah, I'm not entirely sure where those remaining shows fall. "Ironheart" clearly finished a year or 2 ago, but then that means that they've had a lot of time to work on the VFX and such, but I haven't heard about any retooling of the story itself.

"Wonder Man" started off as a product of the Chapek era, but I think (and could be wrong) that by the time it finished filming it was in the post-Chapek era, and likewise I haven't heard of any retooling (or pretty much anything at all) about it since then so who knows.

Vision, on the other hand, I'm more confident in given the fact that the new showrunner is really good (hand selected by Feige), and as far as I know it hasn't even started filming yet, so it should safe. So I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

And as far as "FF:FS" goes... okay okay okay fine. How about "F4:FS"? I mean, the last thing I want is to be confused with @THEKENDOMAN for f**ks sake! (Just kidding - luv ya buddy! 😉).

@TheVisionary25 - By this point it's a no brainer they should also return. They got down the Heroes for Hire dynamic, finding new people to fill that void would not only be silly and unnecessary but also a slap in the face of the fandom. But yeah, fingers crossed just in case.

Did you guys not post something along the lines of Daredevil and Kingpin being locked in for TV apperances only, something to do with legal issues or some jazz like that, that's why the Spiderman:nowaygood cameo only had him as Matt the lawyer and not as Daredevil.
