Charlie Cox’s involvement in a major future Marvel Cinematic Universe project may have been revealed. Cox has received extensive acclaim for his portrayal of Matt Murdock/Daredevil in Netflix’s Daredevil series, which was abruptly canceled after season 3. He has now reprised the role in the MCU’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, Echo, and in the highly anticipated Daredevil: Born Again series debuting on Disney+ in 2025.
As shared by DFRNT Health & Fitness on Instagram, Cox is training for an Avengers movie. If true, Cox is likely to appear as Daredevil in Avengers: Doomsday or Avengers: Secret Wars. It is also possible that Cox is training for Daredevil: Born Again season 2. However, Cox’s involvement in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars has not yet been officially confirmed, nor has Daredevil: Born Again getting a season 2.
Daredevil May Have A Prominent Role In Doomsday Or Secret Wars
If Cox is training for Avengers: Doomsday or Avengers: Secret Wars, this has potentially major implications for the upcoming stories. Daredevil could play a significant role and even become part of the Avengers’ line-up in Doomsday. This would be Cox’s largest role yet in an MCU movie, as other than one scene in which he helps Peter Parker (Tom Holland) with a legal issue in Spider-Man: No Way Home, he has exclusively been a television character for the MCU.
With Doomsday and Secret Wars’ plots being deeply grounded in the multiverse, it is also possible that Cox will be playing a different version of Daredevil and Murdock than the one that he has played in the MCU thus far. Cox could even be playing a more villainous version of the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen.
More Daredevil In The MCU Is A Good Thing
After the Netflix series uncerimonious cancellation, it’s alwas good to see Charlie Cox embrace the character, now with Daredevil: Born Again. Playing a bigger role in an Avengers movie is arguably just as exciting. If Daredevil is set to appear next in Doomsday, it will be intriguing to see how Daredevil: Born Again season 1 ends, with the finale potentially setting up the character’s next Marvel Cinematic Universe appearance.
