Daredevil could appear in future Marvel films, Charlie Cox confirms

The actor said 'it’d be wonderful' to star in one of the blockbuster films

Netflix is hosting a two-day event in Paris, which will see the cast and crew of some of the streaming service’s most popular shows - including House of Cards and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt - take to the stage for panel discussions and what has promised to be exciting new announcements.

British actor Charlie Cox took to the stage on Monday morning (11 April) to discuss Marvel television series Daredevil, the first of four standalone superheroes to be getting their own Netflix Original Series (including Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Luke Cage).

The actor, who revealed to a crowded room of journalists in La Cite du Cinema, that The Defenders - a series starring all four of the characters mentioned above - announced that his character could potentially one day appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

"When I signed the contract for the show, I signed multiple years for Daredevil and, of course, The Defenders, and in that package there was the opportunity to be involved in the movies in some way,” he said.

“But at this stage, no conversations have been had with me about doing any of the movies. I don’t know what the politics are behind it all but Marvel Studios and Marvel TV are different,” Cox continued.

“It would be great if that was to happen, it’d be wonderful - who wouldn’t want to be in the biggest grossing movie of all time? But none of those discussions have happened - certainly not with me,” said Cox.

The next film to be released in the MCU is Captain America: Civil War which hits cinemas on 29 April.
