“There Is a Lot of Story To Tell”: Charlie Cox Doesn’t Want ‘No Way Home’ To Be the Last Time Daredevil and Spider-Man Meet

Daredevil: Born Again star Charlie Cox, who plays the role of the titular superhero in the show, believes that his character and Tom Holland’s Spider-Man are overdue for a reunion on screen. Cox made his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Matt Murdock in the 2021 hit, Spider-Man: No Way Home. In his brief appearance, Murdock acted as Peter Parker’s lawyer after his superhero identity was revealed to the world. While Daredevil: Born Again Season 1 ended without a Spider-Man cameo, Cox thinks that there’s a lot of story to tell between the two MCU characters.

The actor spoke about wanting to collaborate with Holland again during an interview with Rotten Tomatoes. Cox was joined by his co-star and on-screen nemesis Vincent D’Onofrio, who plays the role of Wilson Fisk/Kingpin. According to the MCU star, crossing paths with Spider-Man would be “iconic” for both Daredevil and Kingpin. D’Onofrio agreed with Cox before joking that the web-slinging superhero has a great lawyer in case he runs into trouble with Kingpin. Cox concluded that another reunion between Daredevil and Spider-Man would mean a lot to longtime fans of Marvel Comics.

However, that might not canonically be possible, as explained by Marvel Television executive Brad Winderbaum on the Phase Hero podcast. When questioned about the possibility of a Spider-Man cameo in Daredevil: Born Again, Winderbaum confessed that he was unsure of what the rules were. He revealed that Sony has the long-form television rights for the character, which means. He added that the MCU seems to be restricted to a 30-minute animated portrayal of the iconic superhero, which is what led to the creation of the Disney+ series, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.

Charlie Cox and Andrew Garfield Snuck Out for Dinner While Filming ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’

As reported by Variety, Cox flew to Atlanta to shoot his scenes for Spider-Man: No Way Home in secret to avoid any spoilers leading up to the film’s release. However, the actor decided to break a few rules and reached out to Andrew Garfield while he was in town. In an interview with Marvel, Cox shared that he suspected Garfield was making a cameo in the movie himself because of all the rumors circulating online. So, he texted him to confirm the news.

Cox revealed that he and Garfield joked about their characters not being in each other’s scripts before heading out to dinner. However, when they reached the restaurant, they realized how bad it would be if they were spotted together near a Marvel set. “There was a table that had two chairs facing the wall. So we sat facing the wall and tried not to look at each other,” recalled Cox.

But this wasn’t Garfield’s first slip-up. In an interview with Esquire Magazine, the actor revealed that he ordered takeout on his first night in Atlanta, and the delivery guy recognized him. According to Garfield, he was trying to keep his identity under wraps and hiding his face. However, the delivery guy recognized who he was and later took to X to tweet about how rude he was. “I just blew it on multiple levels,” Garfield joked.
