Charlie Cox to reprise his role as Daredevil in The MCU

Charlie Cox to reprise his role as Daredevil in The MCU


So big news coming out of Hollywood saw Marvel Studios head confirm Kevin Feige that Charlie Cox will reprise his role as Daredevil in The Marvel Cinematic Universe. This is not unexpected but big news and here are the places that I think he could appear in The MCU. 

Spider-Man: No Way Home 

This rumour has been spreading for a long time and this news basically confirms this. The theory is that Matt Murdoch is one of the lawyers helping Peter Parker escape criminal charges for being Spider-Man. It makes sense that he would try to help a fellow powered individual, especially a young man who he will know is innocent. I think this could literally be a one scene cameo, but it will be good to see him reprise the role as his lawyer persona even though I think we will have to wait a bit longer to see Daredevil himself. 

She-Hulk 

Again another heavy rumour is that Cox will appear in the upcoming Disney+ show She-Hulk. It has been confirmed that the show will have plenty of courtroom scenes and that seems like an appropriate place for an appearance from Matt Murdoch. I also think this show will see Jennifer Walters and Daredevil team up to fight bad guys outside the courtroom which should be fun. 

Echo 

This is pretty much a guarantee. The character of Echo recently debuted in Hawkeye and it has been confirmed that she will be getting her own spinoff show. With the connection between Echo and Daredevil in the comics and the seemingly confirmed appearance of Wilson Fisk, he will be in this show. I think this is likely to be the largest role he could be a part of for the foreseeable future. 

His own film or Disney+ Series 

This is complete conjecture but it seems like The MCU has some plans for Daredevil. The question will be whether it is a film or TV series, we have already seen a mostly successful Netflix series so a film could be more ideal and expose the character to a larger audience. 

Could this see the return of more Netflix Marvel Characters?

The big question now is will this lead to the return of other Netflix characters to The MCU. Daredevil was the one who started it all so it makes sense that he would be the first to appear. With Kingpin also seemingly confirmed I think it could be likely that we get the chance to see some others. I think Luke Cage & Iron Fist would be the more likely ones, Jon Bernthal has made it clear he doesn't want to play a watered down version of Punisher so I think that he can be ruled out and I think something similar would be in place with Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones. 

Overall

Overall, this is really exciting news and will hopefully see the return of many characters from the show because I really loved the Netflix show of Daredevil. It seems strange to confirm this so close to his probable first appearance but it still excites me for the future of the character.
