Daredevil: Born AgainactorCharlie Coxcan’t fully say which Marvel team he wants to join, but he dropped an exciting tease. Cox first appeared as Matt Murdock/Daredevil in 2015’sDaredevil, which debuted on Netflix and became the anchor of various grounded MCU series that includedJessica Jones,Luke Cage,Iron Fist,The Punisher, andThe Defenders,and was dubbedThe Defenders Saga. DespiteDaredevilbeing canceled in 2018, Cox’s Daredevil returned in a number of MCU projects before getting to lead his own show in 2025’sDaredevil: Born Again.
Cox attended FanExpo Chicago and took part in a panel hosted by Joe Deckelmeier ofScreen Rant. During the panel, a fan asked Cox which MCU actors he would like to work with in the future. While he didn’t name any one actor or character by name, he hinted at a particular group he would like to work alongside. While this could be interpreted as The Guardians of the Galaxy or The Fantastic Four, it is more likely the premier superhero team of The MCU, The Avengers. Cox said:
I have to be so careful. Look, I can’t! I’m not going to say, there’s so many. There’s one particular group of people that I would like to be invited to play with… But we’ll get into that a little bit later.
Daredevil: Born Again
Marvel Appears to Be Setting Up Daredevil as an Avenger
The originalDaredevilseries is one of the most acclaimed adaptations of any Marvel Comic, so Marvel Studios jumped at the chance to bring Cox back as Daredevil and properly fold that corner of the franchise into the larger MCU. The previous show was restricted from playing with the larger MCU due to the separation of Marvel Studios and Marvel Television at the time. While the television series on Netflix and ABC would reference the films, the movies paid no mind to the television series. Now there is no division, as it is all under Kevin Feige, and he seems to have big plans for Daredevil.
Marvel Studios has made Cox’s Matt Murdock and Daredevil persona a major player in the Multiverse Saga. He first appeared as Matt Murdock in 2021’sSpider-Man: No Way Home, with a guest appearance as Daredevil in 2022’sShe-Hulk: Attorney at Law. He recently appeared in the first episode ofEcho. In addition to leading his Disney+ series withDaredevil: Born Again, he will return to voice the character in the animated seriesYour Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. Cox haspreviously said he wants Daredevil to be an Avenger, and Marvel might make that happen.
Why Daredevil Has Earned His Spot as an Avenger
The Man Without Fear is officially a part of the MCU. But here’s why Daredevil should also get a spot on the Avengers.
The character was featured on theDisney California Adventure concept art forAvengers: Infinity Defense, fighting King Thanos alongside other heroes like The Hulk and Captain America. There is a good chance Cox’s Daredevil will be a significant part ofAvengers: Doomsdayand a possible recruit for the new roster of heroes. While Cox might not get to star alongside the originalAvengerscast, fans wouldn’t mind seeing him share the screen with Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange, Brie Larson’s Captain Marvel, or Simu Liu’s Shang-Chi. Daredevil being part of The Avengers would show how far the character has gone since his Netflix series debuted.
