Daredevil Star Charlie Cox Credits Social Media Push for His Character’s Second Life
Daredevil star Charlie Cox credits the “Save Daredevil” social media campaign for the revival of his role as the blind superhero. Netflix canceled the show Daredevil in 2018. Since then, the character has appeared in the film Spider-Man: No Way Home and had a cameo in Disney+’s She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. Now, Daredevil is getting his own show on Disney+, Daredevil: Born Again. “Whatever happens to my career going forward from this point on, I owe most of it to the ‘Save Daredevil’ campaign,” Cox said. “That even when I had lost hope years ago, they did not, and they continued to campaign and support. And over the years, I’ve met many of them, and they’re such an enthusiastic, passionate crowd.”
