According to Cox, 'I dunno if this is of interest, but I will say this: amongst all of this, there was one episode we didn't change at all. It's the episode in the bank, and that was part of the original [shoot]. We shot that before the strike. That was part of the original [draft], and just for my money, I wasn't into it.'He labelled the episode as his 'least favourite' one out of the series and also shared more thoughts on why he was not pleased with that episode specifically. He shared that 'I pushed back against it as much as I felt was possible. That feels like a 1970s game; there's too much technology these days for that to work. And also, I didn't think the actual device used for the theft was sophisticated enough.'He then shared that even though he was not keen on the release of that episode, he saw that a lot of viewers and fans of the show seemed to find it enjoyable enough. He stated that 'I hear from so many people that they love that episode. So, it just goes to show you just don't know. It's so subjective. Everyone's taste is different. And I've heard that that episode is one of the highest-rated. Internally, when they do their ratings, it's one of the highest-rated Disney shows that they've had.'

Charlie Cox singles out his least favorite Daredevil: Born Again episode
Daredevil: Born Again season 1 was largely reconceived after the 2023 actor and writer strikes. Dario Scardapane — a veteran of The Punisher series on Netflix — was brought in to be the new showrunner and he made a lot of changes to the series that were well-received. However, there's one episode that Scardapane didn't really change at all, and it happens to be the least favorite episode of Daredevil: Born Again's leading man, Charlie Cox. During an appearance on The Playlist, Cox noted that he wasn't very fond of the season's fifth episode, 'With Interest,' which was a largely standalone episode that featured his character, Matt Murdock, in a bank during a hostage crisis. Recommended Videos 'I [don't know] if this is of interest, but I will say this amongst all of this, there was one episode we didn't change at all,' said Cox. 'It's the episode in the bank, and that was part of the original [shoot]. We shot that before the strike. That was part of the original [draft], and just for my money, I wasn't into it.' Cox went on to reveal that it was his 'least favorite' episode and added that he 'pushed back against it as much as I felt was possible.'
