Daredevil star Charlie Cox opens up about when he got the call from Marvel Studios asking him to return to the MCU in SpiderManNoWayHome: 'I thought it was a joke or a prank.'
Charlie Cox talks about when he found out that Marvel Studios wanted him to return to the MCU as Daredevil in Spider-Man: No Way Home. In 2021, Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures ended the year with Spider-Man: No Way Home, wrapping up Peter Parker's first MCU trilogy. While the threequel had to conclude plot points set up in Spider-Man: Far From Home, the trilogy finale became a celebration for three generations of the web-slinger by tying it into the larger multiverse.

While his scene was brief, Matt had a pivotal role, serving as Peter's attorney. This became the first time since Daredevil season 3 that the British actor returned to the MCU after Netflix canceled his series, along with the other shows in The Defenders franchise.
"I thought it was a joke or a prank. I got a message from Kevin Feige's assistant saying, 'Can you call us back?' I thought it might be for a charity event on account of Covid and everyone would attend. But I was asked if I wanted to be in Spider-Man, it was crazy. I was in the garden of my house, and my wife was sitting on the steps, looking at me and asking: 'What's going on?' It was crazy. It's a childhood dream, it was unbelievable.
What's Next For The MCU's Daredevil Despite Cox's brief appearance in Spider-Man: No Way Home, his return as Daredevil has only just begun. This week, Matt finally makes his appearance on She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, as he and Jennifer Walters will come face-to-face in episode 8. After teasing it a few episodes back, Cox will also be sporting his new red-and-yellow costume, pulling directly from the Daredevil comics.
Whether or not Cox will show up in any other MCU films or TV shows prior to Daredevil: Born Again remains to be seen. Needless to say, there will be plenty of Daredevil in the next few years. Depending on what Marvel Studios has planned for their two upcoming Avengers films, it wouldn't be shocking if Cox's Daredevil is part of those movies as they get to the end of The Multiverse Saga.
