Warning: Major spoilers from Hawkeye and Spider-Man: No Way Home ahead.
Rumors suggested that these characters would return via Disney+’s Hawkeye spin-off series Echo before getting their own movie or Disney+ TV series. According to rumors, Charlie Cox will reprise his Daredevil role in Spider-Man: No Way Home.Those rumors finally proved to be true, with the Daredevil actors making their formal debuts in the MCU via two of the month’s major releases. D’Onofrio’s return to the MCU was teased in Hawkeye Season 1’s penultimate episode, with his character set to play a bigger role in the finale. Meanwhile, Cox made his highly-anticipated return with a brief appearance in Spider-Man: No Way Home. In December 2021, Marvel boss Kevin Feige confirmed the casting in an interview with Cinemablend : “If you were to see Daredevil in upcoming things, Charlie Cox, yes, would be the actor playing Daredevil.” However, Feige told the outlet there are no specific Daredevil projects officially confirmed.
In February 2022, Cox talked about his involvement with Spider-Man: No Way Home during his interview with HeyUGuys, and it was there, the he shared a story about an encounter he had in late 2019 with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige. It turns out that the two met on Broadway one night, and according to Cox, Feige didn’t bring up Daredevil once. “I did a play in 2019 with Tom Hiddleston and Kevin Feige came to see our play,” Cox said. “And, Y’know, I went and shook hands with him and said hi and he said how much he enjoyed the play. Never mentioned Daredevil or anything like that. So it turns out he’s a very good liar as well.” Cox also said that he does know a “little bit” of what’s next for Daredevil, but he didn’t share any details about it Speaking to THR, Cox said, “Look, I don’t have any idea what anyone’s plans are at this stage, but I presume there’s more for us to do”. He continued: “I know a little bit — not a huge amount — but a little bit. I am imagining, I am hoping, that our worlds will collide again because the stuff we’ve done in the past was tremendous fun to do, and he’s such an incredible actor. We have to start every conversation with, ‘What do you know?’ because you have to be careful. It’s really exciting.” In early April 2022, it was reported that Stacy’s Caballero’s website reveals that she worked on the upcoming Disney+ series Echo, which supposedly stars Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio alongside lead star Alaqua Cox.

Daredevil: Born Again Plot: What will it be about?
Currently, it’s impossible to tell what a potential Daredevil continuation story would be about. Rumors suggest that Marvel and Disney are interested in rebooting the characters’ stories, meaning that they may not have had all of the same experiences as the Netflix characters even though their versions are similar. When the characters make their debut in Echo, it’s likely that their TV project would be directly related to the events of the series. However, no plot details have been officially confirmed yet. When asked if Daredevil would work in the Marvel Cinematic Universe sandbox, Charlie Cox is holding on to hope. “I wouldn’t put it past the folks at Marvel to be able to accomplish that,” Cox told ComicBook. “I’m such a fan of everything they’ve done so far, I wouldn’t underestimate them at all. So if they wanted to make a more PG version of Daredevil, I back them to find a way to do where it feels totally in keeping with everything we’ve done [on the show]. And maybe there’s a little less blood, maybe there’s a little whatever, but I back them to do it.” When Cox was asked by IGN if Daredevil: Born Again will follow Mark Miller’s run, he said: In October 2022, Cox makes his first in-costume MCU appearance as Daredevil in the finale of Marvel’s She Hulk. Watch the clip below to see some She Hulk vs. Daredevil action as well as the exchange of quips between the two Marvel characters:

Hanging in a bag on a railing was my suit that I recognized as the one I’d worn in the show before.” “While I was waiting, there was one computer-generated drawing on the wall of some other superhero,” he continued. “I was looking at it, like ‘Oh, that guy’s cool.’ And then I looked more carefully, and I was like, ‘Wait, that guy’s me.’ It was a rendering of this gold and red suit and I was like, ‘Oh my God, that is so cool.’ It’s such a great homage to some of the earlier Daredevil runs. I got goosebumps thinking about this moment, putting it on and the fans’ reaction.”
