Charlie Cox, known for his portrayal of Daredevil, appears set to feature in at least one of the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) Avengers films.
Cox gained acclaim as Matt Murdock in all three seasons of Netflix’s Daredevil and the crossover series The Defenders. He later reprised the role in 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, 2022’s She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, and 2024’s Echo.
Before his return in the new live-action series Daredevil: Born Again, premiering this March, Cox will voice Daredevil in the animated series Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.
Recent speculation about Cox’s involvement in an Avengers film arose from a post by DFRNT Health and Fitness, an Australian gym and training facility.
According to their Instagram post, Cox is currently training for his role as Daredevil in an upcoming MCU Avengers movie.
“It’s been awesome having Charlie and his wife, Sam Cox, in DFRNT over the past few weeks!” the post reads.
“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!”
