Marvel shocks fans by announcing a new 'Daredevil' show starring Charlie Cox
- Marvel announced Charlie Cox's return as Matt Murdock/Daredevil at San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday.
- Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio (Wilson Fisk/Kingpin) will star in the upcoming Disney+ series.
Charlie Cox is officially returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) as Matt Murdock/Daredevil in a new series for Disney+, titled "Daredevil: Born Again."
The announcement about the show was made at Marvel Studios' Hall H panel on Saturday during day three of San Diego Comic-Con. "Daredevil: Born Again" is set to release in spring 2024 and Cox will be joined by Vincent D'Onofrio (Wilson Fisk/Kingpin).
The show will also be part of Marvel's phase five, which includes "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3," "Secret Invasion," "The Marvels," and more.
Cox previously portrayed the superhero in Netflix's Marvel series "Daredevil," which lasted for three seasons between 2015 and 2018. Following its cancellation, fans rallied for the streamer to revive the show, to no avail.
The actor reprised the role for a cameo in Tom Holland's third standalone film, "Spider-Man: No Way Home." Cox appeared early in the blockbuster 2021 movie, during a scene in which he gave the teen web-slinger legal advice and showed off his superhuman reflexes.
Following the cameo in "NWH," Cox expressed interest in continuing his journey as Daredevil. He also alluded to a mystery project in an interview with RadioTimes.com published in late February, saying: "I know something. I don't know much, but I know there will be something else."
Aside from the upcoming "Daredevil" show, the character will also appear in the new series "She-Hulk" starring Tatiana Maslany as the titular character.
Daredevil was briefly shown in the latest trailer for "She-Hulk," released during Marvel's SDCC panel. "She-Hulk" premieres on Disney+ on August 17.
In addition to his live-action return, Cox will also voice Daredevil in the upcoming animated series "Spider-Man: Freshman Year." The show debuts on Disney+ in 2024.
