Charlie Cox Gives Update On Daredevil & Kingpin MCU Future
Daredevil actor Charlie Cox reveals that he has no confirmation on what is happening with his character or with Kingpin in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but believes that there’s still more to come. Cox played the titular role in the Netflix Daredevil series, released in 2015. The show was the first of an interconnected series of Marvel programs on the streaming platform that also included Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, The Punisher, and The Defenders (which featured their team-up, excluding The Punisher).
Following a series of cancellations throughout 2018 and 2019, these characters sat stagnant for several years, much to fans' chagrin. Due to contract stipulations, Marvel has been unable to use any of the characters from Netflix’s adaptations, at least not until two years after their series cancellation. With Marvel regaining the character's rights in late 2020, Cox’s Daredevil was one of several surprise characters seen in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Similarly, Cox’s co-star Vincent D’Onofrio (Kingpin) made an appearance in the new Marvel TV series Hawkeye on Disney+.
