It feels like only yesterday when Marvel fans were on the edge of their seats, watching Charlie Cox deliver an impeccable performance as both Matt Murdock, the skilled lawyer, and Daredevil, the fearless vigilante.
Stepping into different shoes
Cox's excitement wasn't just limited to one side of Matt. He cherished both. "I think of them as the same person," Charlie emphasized, fondly reminiscing about scenes that were quick-witted and flirty with Tatiana at a bar. This sense of fun was contrasted by the unpredictable, sometimes hilarious conversations with She-Hulk on rooftops. This new side of Daredevil was something fresh, a departure from the intense rooftop scene with Punisher fans might recall from Daredevil Season 2.

Daredevil's carefree escape
Taking a trip down memory lane, Charlie spoke about a lighter, more charming Matt Murdock. In his appearance on She-Hulk, Matt was seen taking a break from the chaos of Hell's Kitchen. Representing Luke Jacobson in a trial, Charlie described this version of Matt as being on a holiday, temporarily escaping the weight of his responsibilities in New York. It was an exciting phase where the character felt the freedom of the weight being lifted. This new version of Daredevil was refreshing, showing the superhero in a more relaxed setting, away from the stresses of Hell's Kitchen.
The unforgettable hallway fights
Marvel fans remember the thrilling hallway fight scenes synonymous with Daredevil. In Episode 8, the set-up cleverly played with these expectations. As viewers anticipated another high-adrenaline combat, "there's that excellent drop-the-mic moment where She-Hulk comes into the room," Charlie recollected with a chuckle, lauding Jessica Gao's brilliant scriptwriting.
Gratitude to devoted fans
The "Save Daredevil" campaign played a pivotal role in reviving the character in the MCU. The fan-driven initiative never lost hope, even when Charlie did. Expressing his deep gratitude, he mentioned, "Whatever happens to my career going forward, I owe most of it to the 'Save Daredevil' campaign." The love and enthusiasm from fans made the character's return feel like a dream come true for Charlie.
Looking ahead, the actor's excitement for the new Daredevil show is palpable. Training sessions, script discussions, and planning are already underway, making the hero's return in the MCU feel more real than ever.
Charlie Cox's journey as Daredevil has indeed been remarkable, filled with ups and downs, challenges and triumphs, and a fan base that remained steadfast in their support.
