Charlie Cox: Daredevil is not a 'different character' in the Disney+ series

With Charlie Cox returning as Daredevil for his upcoming Disney+ series Daredevil: Born Again, many fans are wondering if this will be a different version of the character he played for several years on Netflix.

In a recent interview with iNews, Cox was asked about this and said he doesn't think his character in the upcoming show will be a new version or a different character. Instead, Cox said, it will be a Matt Murdock going through a "different time" in his life.

"I don't think it's a different character," Cox said. "I just think maybe it's a different period of his life. I don't think my interpretation will change – they've hired the same actor. We're saying it's a whole new... era, or variant ?" He pauses for a moment. "I haven't read the scripts, so I don't know. But like, this is part of the multiverse?"

Cox credits the new way of playing to Murdock thanks to his brief appearance in the Disney+ series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. According to Cox, She-Hulk's goofier tone gave him a new perspective on the character of Daredevil, one he thinks will make its way into Born Again.

"The only way to change is that while the show is very different in tone, I don't think anyone should read into the name what kind of stories we're going to tell," Cox said. . on the name of the series, which refers to one of the most iconic comic stories in Daredevil history.

Daredevil: Born Again is the work of editors Matt Corman and Chris Ord, who will also serve as executive producers with Kevin Feige. The series will be broadcast on Disney+ in the spring of 2024.
