Spread MCU News

Charlie Cox, best known for his role as Daredevil in the Netflix series and subsequent Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) appearances, has reportedly been training to reprise his role in the upcoming film “Avengers: Doomsday.” According to posts from the gym he frequents, DFRNT Health and Fitness, Cox has been intensively preparing for his role as the Man Without Fear. The gym’s Instagram account initially revealed that Cox was training for his part in the next Avengers movie, where he would play Daredevil. This information was later edited out, but not before it sparked significant speculation among fans and media outlets.

The anticipation surrounding Cox’s return as Daredevil is palpable, especially given the character’s recent resurgence in the MCU. After the Netflix series was canceled, Cox reprised his role in “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law,” and “Echo.” This return to the MCU has been well-received by fans, who are eager to see Daredevil take on a larger role in the upcoming Avengers films. The timing of Cox’s training coincides with the production schedule for “Daredevil: Born Again,” a Disney+ series set to premiere in March 2025. This series will explore Daredevil’s life several years after the events of the Netflix series, adding depth to the character’s arc before his potential appearance in “Avengers: Doomsday”.

While Marvel Studios has not officially confirmed Cox’s involvement in “Avengers: Doomsday,” the rumors and leaks from his gym suggest that Daredevil may indeed make an appearance in the film. Given the high stakes and multiverse-spanning narrative of “Doomsday,” it would make sense for street-level heroes like Daredevil to play a part, even if it’s a cameo. The film, set to be released on May 1, 2026, is expected to feature a massive ensemble cast, including the Fantastic Four, Doctor Doom, and other major MCU characters. Cox’s training and the timing of “Daredevil: Born Again” suggest that his return as Daredevil could be a significant moment in the MCU’s evolving storyline.
