Marvel Boss Confirms Charlie Cox’s Casting as Daredevil in the MCU

Over the years, certain actors have grown to become synonymous with the Marvel character they were hired to play. Robert Downey Jr. IS Tony Stark. Chris Evans has claimed the fabric of Steve Rogers. And so on.

This is how many MCU fans feel about Charlie Cox and his portrayal of the blind attorney Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil. There have been calls to bring Cox over to the MCU and allow him to keep playing the Man Without Fear… and it seems like Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has been listening.

Feige sat down with CinemaBlend and fielded questions about Daredevil and the character’s potential in the MCU now that his Netflix show has run its course. Surprisingly, the usually covert Feige confirmed the news that so many fans will want to hear when he told CinemaBlend: “If you were to see Daredevil in upcoming things, Charlie Cox, yes, would be the actor playing Daredevil. Where we see that, how we see that, when we see that, remains to be seen.”

Obviously, Feige still kept some cards close to his vest with regards to the future of Daredevil when it comes to a concrete timeline, but those who loved Charlie Cox’s portrayal of the character can rejoice in knowing that he will return to Hell’s Kitchen at some point and patrol the streets on behalf of the neighborhood’s citizens.

Do you think he was just telling fans what they want to hear, or is a Cox as Daredevil appearance in the MCU already in the works?
