So far, Charlie Cox’s hero of Hell’s Kitchen has only spent a few minutes on the big screen when he appeared in Spider-Man: No Way Home, but the star isn’t opposed to going back there, even with Daredevil: Born Again continuing to go from strength to strength. After the warm reception for Matt Murdock’s horn-headed vigilante making his official appearance in the MCU and season 2 currently being filmed, Cox was asked if there are any talks about Daredevil getting a solo movie further down the line. To put it simply, hell if he knows.
“I’m the worst person to ask,” Cox admitted in an interview at the SAG-AFTRA Foundation. “I have no idea. I don’t know — you have to ask the grown-ups. I don’t know anything. And I like not knowing anything, you know?”
What we do know is that Marvel Studios has plans for Matt Murdock and his short-fused frenemy, Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal), aka The Punisher. For the lawyer-turned vigilante, it’s been confirmed that the second season will see the return of Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones, who has already been seen training with her co-star for her arrival into the new era of street-level superheroes. As for Castle, he’s set for a Marvel Special Presentation that is said to be assembling an “incredible group” to bring a new Punisher story to life. With all that going on, it’s understandable why Cox is content with what’s going on right now, and instead suggested the fans make a push for getting the Devil back in theaters in the future.
“The only thing I’ll say is I’m just such a happy camper. I’m so thrilled to be here. I love that I get to tell the story in long-form. Also, because I’m part of the show, like you guys just had the experience, every season, we get to see the first two episodes on the big screen. So I get that experience. It is a shame because, particularly with the pilot, it’s such a cinematic episode,” Cox said. “It feels like it deserves to be seen on the big screen. But, I don’t know. Just write letters, everyone just write letters.”
It’s also worth noting that Cox has done an impressive job historically of keeping things quiet about the return of Daredevil. So, while a solo film might not be on the cards, there are two potential opportunities for him to appear in other movies in the future. As it stands, Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Avengers: Doomsday have swapped schedules slightly, with the web-head returning earlier than Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, who have been pushed back to December 18, 2026. Brand New Day is still settling at July 31, 2026, with plot details at a minimum, and with Kevin Feige confirming that the cast list isn’t finished for Doomsday, Daredevil could drop in for either.
