Charlie Cox Returns: Daredevil in the MCU & Future Projects

28th January 2026

Fantastic news for fans of Netflix’s Daredevil broke overnight, after it was confirmed by Kevin Feige himself that Charlie Cox is the MCU’s Daredevil. After Daredevil was cancelled back in 2018, when plans for Disney+ were set in motion, fans of The Man Without Fear were left disappointed. This bombshell was especially disappointing considering that the third season left us on somewhat of a cliff-hanger regarding Bullseye being introduced as the main antagonist in season 4. Ever since then, the question of Daredevil in the MCU has been left hanging, until now. MCU mastermind Kevin Feige recently did an interview with Cinemablend, where he confirmed Daredevil would not be recast in the MCU. If/when the character next appears in a Marvel movie or original series, he will in fact be played once again by Charlie Cox. Whilst this is exciting news for fans of that version of the character, it should be noted that this doesn’t necessarily mean that Cox will appear in the MCU anytime soon, as he has not officially been casted in any upcoming projects. All this really means is that another actor will not play Matt Murdock within the MCU. Check out Feige’s direct quote regarding the matter below and you can decide for yourself what this could mean. “If you were to see Daredevil in upcoming things, Charlie Cox, yes, would be the actor playing Daredevil. Where we see that, how we see that, when we see that, remains to be seen.” As I said above, Charlie Cox has yet to be officially cast as Daredevil in any upcoming projects, that said though, there are a few different spots where he could re-emerge within what is currently taking place in the MCU. It has been heavily rumoured, (and backed up by a leaked photo,) that Charlie Cox will appear in Spider-Man: No Way Home as Matt Murdock. The rumour goes that after the film opens with Peter Parker being wanted for the murder of Mysterio, Matt Murdock will be the lawyer brought in to clear his name. We won’t know until next week whether or not he will appear as Daredevil in the upcoming Spidey sequel or just as Matt Murdock, though I’d say it is pretty certain that he will indeed show up in some form. Over on Disney+, the upcoming She-Hulk series centres around Jennifer Walters, who just happens to work as a lawyer in her day job. Could we see the two cross paths in the courtroom at some point? Hawkeye is also currently streaming to the platform every Wednesday and the previous episodes have hinted that The Kingpin could be making an appearance in a later episode. If Kingpin does indeed show up, does that mean we could also be getting an appearance from The Devil Of Hell’s Kitchen? As is the case with Charlie Cox, Vincent D’Onofrio has not officially been cast in any upcoming MCU properties at the time of writing. That said, we can presume that if Cox will remain as the MCU’s version of Daredevil, then D’Onofrio will more than likely remain the MCU’s version of Kingpin. Hawkeye is certainly dropping a lot of hints towards Kingpin and at this point, if he doesn’t show up, then a lot of people are going to be left disappointed. So with all of that being said, what do you make of Feige putting rumours and worries to rest regarding the future of Daredevil within the MCU? Are you excited to see the character onscreen again? Let us know in the comments section down below.

Review – Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace GN

4th February 2026

  SUMMARY The days of peaceful negotiations are lost to the eclipse of the dark side of the force. The Trade Federation seeks to put an end to the reign of Queen Amidala under the influence of the mysterious Darth Sidious. It’s up to Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi to protect the Queen of Naboo so to restore Order and save the galaxy from certain war. ART As the dialogue and story have more or less been transmitted from script to speech bubble, the main selling point for this novel is it’s artwork. What’s really cool about this being a Disney product is that we get to see the film reimagined in Disney’s art style! A lot of exaggerated cartoon features that some times work and some times don’t. Underneath the characters are lush and grandiose backdrops of different terrains, cities and halls, reminiscent to the backdrops of Pokemon strangely enough. My favourite thing about the artwork however is the out of the box colour palette, it’s hard to pin down what makes it pop in it’s realistic but futuristic way but it’s gorgeous nonetheless. WRITING Seeing the dialogue replicated and displayed in text bubbles here compared to the delivery of the film’s dialogue, I can see what Lucas was trying to achieve in the story. While the dialogue of the film is widely regarded as hoaky throughout, there is solid and fantastical worldbuilding at the heart of it. Here, without poor direction, you better understand the contrasting social situations characters are dealing with. With this adaptation being strictly just that; an adaptation, I can’t help but feel there was a missed opportunity to amend or expand on some of the lesser elements of the original film with a competent writer. If anything and understandably so, some of the scenes have been omitted or condensed. With this comes the problem of highlighting plot issues amongst rushed developments. OVERALL In conclusion, the graphic novelisation of Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace GN is fine. Inoffensive to new fans and old and it serves it’s purpose to be a more kid-friendly representation of the film, I definitely have a better understanding of the story now that I’ve read this! A fun or summarised adaptation of the original film for fans who maybe don’t have the time to watch it or just enjoy the art style!     If you want to be part of the BGCP community, Join us on Discord, Twitter, Instagram etc then click HERE

Star Wars: The Destiny Path

4th May 2021

Review – Star Wars: The Destiny Path Written By Charles Soule Illustrated & coloured by Jesus Saiz & Arif Prianto Published by MARVEL Comics Released in November, 2020 SUMMARY Star Wars: The Destiny Path is a 2020 tie in comic set between the events of The Empire Strikes Back & Return of The Jedi, filling in the gaps and answering the questions of a galaxy far far away. Written by Charles Soule and illustrated by Jesus Saiz. With the Rebels on the run from Darth Vader on Cloud City, leaving behind a hand and a Han, it’s up to Luke, Leia & Lando to locate Han Solo and strategize their next move against the Empire. With power and confidence not on their side, there is only hope for our ragtag Rebellion and the intel of one Lando Calrissian.  ART Firstly, Saiz’s art style is bombastically classic looking, especially in dog fights. Conversely, his work during the more sombre and expositional scenes gives the titular characters emotional depth and focus, really capturing the likeness of each beloved character. Solid work! Equally, Arif Prianto and his team of colourists throughout present a galaxy of colour variations and combinations that allow each new planet, setting and character to shine independently with identifiable palettes.  WRITING What could just as easily serve as simple filler between episodes, instead unexpectedly opens up a whole new dynamic dimension within the saga. With interesting character developments for fan favourites as well as brand new characters, there is so much to love about this comic!  The most notable of these character developments is the internal conflict of Luke as he reflects on the shocking revelation of his relation to Daddy Darth Vader. It’s a primary story beat that is surprisingly brushed over by Lucas.  With it being a 2020 release set during the original trilogy, fans will be happy to see some recent additions to the story from Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and The Mandalorian, as well as some PTSD flashbacks to Order 66. It’s incredible how many surrounding plot strings Soule binds together! Crucially, the balance of light and dark is more akin to a pendulous potentium as we learn more about the aftermath of the Death Star’s destruction and the remnants of its humanity within the Empire. In a never-ending war of two factions, there is no peace. OVERALL In conclusion, Star Wars: The Destiny Path is an exciting and audacious addition to the old saga that bridges the dominant favourite film to the first finale through new and expansive lore. Outside of the main story itself, the comic makes for a dramatically fresh take on the deeper Hero’s Journey. Some minor details disrupt the continuity of the films but hell, if Lucas can take leaps in the plot between films, then Soule can take liberties when trying to fix them! Furthermore, a benefit of Lucas leaving out a lot of detail between films is that these gaps can be filled by a wealth of new writers, more often than not with a blissful nostalgia for the galaxy before them. This destiny is far from fulfilled but the path is clear and promises a masterclass in balancing the new and old.
