Fans are convinced the 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' trailer teases the return of a beloved Marvel Netflix superhero
- Sony Pictures debuted the first "Spider-Man: No Way Home" trailer at CinemaCon.
- In addition to multiple villains, fans think they may have spotted the return of Matt Murdock.
- Some fans are convinced a pair of arms in one shot belongs to Charlie Cox.
The first "Spider-Man: No Way Home" trailer teases the return of many iconic Spidey villains, but some fans think they may have spotted a hint at another hero in the coming sequel: Matt Murdock aka Daredevil.
Eagle-eyed fans are inspecting shots of arms and hands from the "No Way Home" trailer because they're convinced they belong to Charlie Cox.
Cox starred on three seasons of Netflix and Marvel's "Daredevil" as the New York City lawyer Matt Murdock by day and vigilante by night.
If so, that would mean Murdock may appear in the "Spider-Man" sequel.
Additionally, fans also think this may be a shot of Murdock. This one feels less convincing to us.
Why would Murdock even be in 'No Way Home'?
In the trailer, we see Peter Parker (Tom Holland) handcuffed and, presumably, in police custody. He's being accused of murdering Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal) at the end of 2019's "Spider-Man: Far From Home."
Fans believe it's possible Murdock could act as Parker's lawyer in the new film.
Peter is from Queens after all, and Murdock presides in Hell's Kitchen. It's a few quick subway stops (or Spidey swings) for Peter.
If a Marvel superhero needs a lawyer and you had the chance to use Murdock, it sounds like the perfect opportunity for a fun cameo.
Could we see the return of Matt Murdock? It's certainly possible.
In February, Marvel Studios' president, Kevin Feige, hinted we could "perhaps someday" see characters like Jessica Jones and others from Netflix shows enter the MCU one day.
Mashable reported that the rights for Netflix's Daredevil reverted back to Marvel in November. Theoretically, Charlie Cox's version of the character could play in the MCU sandbox.
Of all of the Netflix Marvel series, "Daredevil" was among the most popular.
When Insider attended a tribute event for Marvel's Stan Lee in October 2019, Cox was in attendance and mentioned the "Save Daredevil" campaign onstage to our surprise.
For now, we'll have to wait to see whether the masked vigilante will appear in the coming film.
"Spider-Man: No Way Home" is scheduled to arrive in theaters on December 17.
