Marvel fans have been hoping that Charlie Cox would return as Matt Murdock ever since Netflix was forced to cancel Daredevil and their prayers have finally been answered. He’s set to return to Hell’s Kitchen in the new Disney+ series Daredevil: Born Again.
The announcement of Daredevil’s return was made at this year’s Comic-Con and we’ll have to wait until 2024 for this series to see the light of day. Disney+ gave Daredevil: Born Again an 18-episode order for the first season, which is an uncharacteristically large number of episodes for this streaming service.
If you don’t feel like waiting until 2024 to reunite with Daredevil, don’t despair. Cox previously made a cameo as Matt Murdock in Spider-Man: No Way Home, and he’s also expected to pop up in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and Echo, and do a voiceover role in Spider-Man: Freshman Year. He’ll be joined by Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk aka Kingpin, who previously reprised this role in the Disney+ series Hawkeye.
Charlie Cox initially played Matt Murdock, a blind lawyer who leads a double life as a vigilante, in Netflix’s Daredevil and reprised his role in the crossover miniseries The Defenders. Both shows were canceled and later removed from Netflix after Disney regained its license for them.
