Charlie Cox Backpedals on Previous Quote About DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN Season 2 Being Its Last — GeekTyrant
Last week, Daredevil: Born Again actor Charlie Cox made a statement at Galaxy Con that had a lot of people talking. While describing the show's second season, he called it 'the final season,' and it came as a surprise to everyone. Since then, the actor's co-star, Vincent D'Onofrio, said the statement was a mistake, and it was a simple slip of the tongue. He said the reports were 'not true,' and added, 'there's a good chance we will have a third season.' Now, Cox is answering for himself, as this weekend at the For the Love of Fantasy event in London, England, ComicBook caught up with the actor and asked for some clarification. After offering Cox some well-deserved praise for his return as Matt Murdock in the MCU, he responded to questions following those reports about season 2 potentially being the end of the road for Daredevil: Born Again . When asked directly whether it is indeed the last one, the actor carefully responded, "No," pausing a second before adding, "I do not believe so." When it was pointed out that Marvel Studios needs to get him into a movie with Spider-Man, Cox agreed, saying, "Yeah, exactly, exactly." It was a passing interview, and didn't get too in-depth, but he seems to agree with everyone's sentiment about that very long-overdue team-up! Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 is set to premiere on Disney+ in March 2026.
