In Spider-Man: No Way Home, Charlie Cox reprised the role of Matt Murdock for an amazing scene featuring the Man Without Fear offering Peter Parker some legal advice. That was it, unfortunately, but we've since heard there are big plans for Daredevil in the Marvel Cinematic Universe moving forward.
Now, Cox has commented on his Daredevil return for the first time in an interview with Supanova Comic Con & Gaming. "It was a nightmare," he laughed, reflecting on having to keep his No Way Home role a secret. "Obviously, it’s now known that I’m in Spider-Man. So, yeah. But more than that, I don’t know, and the little I do know, I’m obviously not going to say. But the only thing I would say is that for a long time I was asked these questions and I genuinely had not heard anything."
"For years, I have been asked questions about returning as Daredevil, and the genuine truth was I 100% assumed that was gone, that ship had just sailed," he continued. "I didn’t hear from any of the folks at Marvel for a couple of years. It does now look like I was lying for a long time, I actually wasn’t, I was only lying for a little bit of time. You still don’t want to spoil it for people."
As for his MCU future, the Daredevil star shared his hopes to be a big part of this shared world. "The one thing that being in the MCU allows that we couldn't really do with the Netflix stuff, is that I can now interact with other MCU characters. Crossovers [are] the thing I would like to do next. There are some really interesting stories there that I'd love for the character to explore."
"I don't want to sound greedy, but I hope I get to do loads more," Cox added, making his love for 'ol Hornhead clear. "I hope I get to be involved way, way more for many years. I hope it never ends. I hope it gets to the point where people are like, ‘You are too old to be playing this part.'"
With rumours swirling about plans for Daredevil in She-Hulk and Echo, it appears we can expect Cox to have a bright future in the MCU. We've also heard that the character will don his red and yellow costume from the comic books, so Kevin Feige clearly has plans to put a fresh spin on the hero.
