Charlie Cox's Daredevil will undoubtedly be a key figure in the new era of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Matt Murdock has made a few appearances in the MCU so far, but they've been nothing more than cameos. For instance, he was Peter Parker's lawyer in Spider-Man: No Way Home. In addition, he appeared in the MCU shows She-Hulk and Echo.
Come March, Cox's Daredevil will be properly introduced into the MCU in Daredevil: Born Again. The series brings back the old team from Netflix's original Daredevil show (which subsequently landed on Disney+, and is now MCU canon). The nine-episode debut season brings us up to speed with Murdock's story, re-introducing fans to Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll) and Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson). Wilson Fisk, aka the Kingpin, is now mayor, which will surely lead to no end of difficulties for our heroes.
As for further MCU appearances, Disney has been tight-lipped. But fans have long been wondering whether Daredevil will have a role to play in the franchise's next big ensemble movie, Avengers: Doomsday. The movie is the first Avengers film since Endgame, and it'll bring together the next generation of heroes, including Anthony Mackie's Captain America, Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, and more.
We expect Daredevil to have some part to play, and Cox's gym, DFRNT, recently announced his involvement in a social media post. "It’s been Awesome having Charlie and his wife, Sam Cox in at DFRNT over the past few weeks!" the post read. "Charlie is currently training for his role in the upcoming @marvel Avengers movie where he will play @daredevil. It’s been our absolute pleasure working with you both and we can’t wait to watch you on the big screen!"
Of course, this is far from an official announcement, but we'll take whatever we can get. Rumors aside, I'd be incredibly shocked if Cox's Daredevil didn't feature at all in Avengers: Doomsday. In the meantime, Daredevil returns in Daredevil: Born Again, which premieres on Disney+ on March 4.
