The appearance of Daredevil star Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock in Spider-Man: No Way Home was a highlight for many viewers, and now the actor has opened up about his hopes for future MCU involvement.
Speaking with Supanova Comic Con & Gaming’s Dan Cribb (who is also an editor at The Music) around the release of new crime drama Kin, Cox spoke about No Way Home and the MCU more generally for the first time since the Spider-Man flick dropped.
Cox jokingly said that questions about his rumoured appearance in Spider-Man: No Way Home in the lead up to its release were a “nightmare”.
“I don't think I've done any interviews [since],” he said. “I still don't know what the rules are. Obviously, it's now known that I'm in Spider-Man. So, yeah. But more than that, I don't know, and the little I do know, I'm obviously not going to say.
“But the only thing I would say is that for a long time I was asked these questions and I genuinely had not heard anything.
“For years, I have been asked questions about returning as Daredevil, and the genuine truth was I 100% assumed that was gone, that ship had just sailed. I didn't hear from any of the folks at Marvel for a couple of years.

“It does now look like I was lying for a long time, I actually wasn't, I was only lying for a little bit of time. You still don't want to spoil it for people.”
With rumours of Cox appearing in multiple upcoming MCU projects (which the English actor wasn’t quizzed about), he shared his future hopes for Daredevil.
“I mean look, I feel so lucky to have been cast in that role and it is the gift that keeps on giving," he said.
"I loved every single minute of making the show. And so, to be asked to come back and to be involved in any capacity is absolutely thrilling to me. And I hope, I don't want to sound greedy, but I hope I get to do loads more. I hope I get to be involved way, way more for many years. I hope it never ends. I hope it gets to the point where people are like, ‘You are too old to be playing this part.’
“I don't know what their plans are, but yes, my hope is that I get to do as much as I'm allowed to do, and to be involved. And it'd be really fun, the one thing that being in the MCU allows that we couldn't really do with the Netflix stuff, is that I can now interact with other MCU characters. So, that would be really cool.
“Crossovers is the thing I would like to do next. I don't know what that looks like, and I don't know what they're planning and all that kind of stuff. But there are some really interesting stories there that I'd love for the character to explore.”
Kin is now available exclusively via the AMC+ streaming bundle.
