Kevin Smith Clarifies Recent "Rumor" He Shared About Daredevil Being In SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME Sequel

You might have heard about Kevin Smith (Mallrats) sharing a rumor about Charlie Cox returning as Daredevil in the next Spider-Man movie, but the popular director has now been forced to correct himself!

There's a good reason we don't cover stories from We Got This Covered here on CBM; they share what can only be described as "FAKE NEWS!" on a daily basis. That's made the site the butt of many a joke online, but one person who didn't get the memo is Indie filmmaker Kevin Smith.

A few days ago, Smith shared a rumor about Charlie Cox returning as the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Man Without Fear in the next Spider-Man movie, and the internet was loving it!

Understandably, the excitement to see Matt Murdock represeting wanted murderer Peter Parker in court was a simply spectacular thought for many, while watching the wall-crawling wonder fighting side-by-side with Daredevil was a thoroughly thrilling prospect.

We didn't cover this bogus story, but most sites did, and Smith himself has now been forced to clarify his remarks. The popular writer and director wants you to know he was only sharing a rumor he too had read online, so he will surely be a tad more careful in future, no matter how cool it might be.

Cox is unlikely to return to the Daredevil role now that Marvel Studios mastermind Kevin Feige seems to be rebooting the Marvel TV shows, but Spidey could get a helping hand from She-Hulk.

This guy has a LEGIT MOTOR MOUTH. He talks way too much and gets over excited about every little thing. Now he has to "clarify" things because of said mouth.

@BlackBeltJones - yeah this is one of the reasons I don't like Smith that much. He is kind of the worst kind of superfan

@HeavyMetal4Life - And he's not the normal superfan too, as he is in Hollywood and around this world, so some, maybe even most, will take what he says or posts with more credence. Case in point.

@BlackBeltJones - hes the worst kind of superfan for getting excited about a rumor? We've had fans giving death threats. Not saying Kevin's in the right, but the main problem i see here is not clarifying this during the actual discussion.

@Origame - The death threat guys aren't even fans in my book: they're psychos

@BlackBeltJones - you cant really pick and choose when arguing the worst though.

@HeavyMetal4Life - idk, Kevin Smith is just an overall joyful and positive guy. I love listening to the guy because, for me at least, that excitement is always somewhat infectious.

@AbidNaga - he certainly is, yes, I don't disagree with that. But he has a tendency to put his foot in his mouth.

I will say, his videos talking about his work on Superman Lives are freaking hilarious and comedic gold.
