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.
