Lately, hypothesis relating to the longevity of Daredevil: Born Once more swirled after its star Charlie Cox referred to its upcoming sophomore outing as “the ultimate season.” The Disney+ collection serves as a continuation of the 2015 Netflix collection Daredevil, which starred Cox alongside Vincent D’Onofrio. This revival was usually well-received by followers and critics, making Cox’s assertion all of the extra shocking.
Nevertheless, in a latest interview with ComicBookMovie.com, Cox debunked his earlier statements. Requested point-blank if the second season of Daredevil: Born Once more, he bluntly acknowledged “no,” earlier than including “I don’t suppose so.” When prompted by the interviewer suggesting Marvel must put him in one other Spider-Man movie, Cox replied, “precisely, precisely.”
Cox isn’t the one Daredevil: Born Once more solid member who spoke in regards to the present’s future following his feedback. D’Onofrio, who performs Wilson Fisk/Kingpin, addressed the hypothesis, saying that there’s a “good likelihood there will likely be a 3rd.”
The actor then elaborated: “I consider [Cox] meant the final season we truly shot, which means the second season. But he used the time period ultimate season, so it’s a bit complicated.” Opposite to this, D’Onofrio revealed that the celebs have talked in regards to the collection’ future, and so they “each agree there’s an excellent likelihood for a 3rd season.”
That is hardly a shock—Marvel Studios’ Head of Streaming, Brad Winderbaum, beforehand mentioned the collection’ future earlier than its first season even debuted. The manager confirmed that “one-hundred % it is a multi-season present,” earlier than including that he didn’t “know what number of seasons it will run.”
With all of this additional context in thoughts, it’s clear that Cox doubtless misspoke.

As D’Onofrio acknowledged, he gave the impression to be indicating the newest season they filmed.
Given the constructive crucial reception of Daredevil: Born Once more and the remainder of the Netflix Marvel characters being built-in into the MCU, it will be a shock if the collection doesn’t make it to a 3rd season. Nevertheless, its streaming numbers weren’t significantly sturdy, leaving some room for doubt.
Nonetheless, Daredevil and Kingpin, particularly Cox and D’Onofrio’s variations, are fan-favorite characters, which is why they have been introduced again within the first place. Marvel doubtless intends to maintain Daredevil: Born Once more going so long as it stays profitable and of curiosity to followers, however the actors might proceed the characters in one other MCU manufacturing if its second season is its final.
