Marvel’s famous blind vigilante, Daredevil, has taken quite a journey into live-action. Aside from an appearance in a TV movie in the late 80s and a fairly divisive 2003 feature film starring Ben Affleck in the title role, Matt Murdock has spent much of his screen time being played by Charlie Cox. The actor portrayed Matt in all three seasons of Daredevil on Netflix, plus the Defenders miniseries. But when all of Netflix’s Marvel shows were canceled en masse, fans were left clamoring for more time with the character.
Of course, they didn’t have to wait long, as Murdock appeared as Peter Parker’s lawyer in Spider-Man: No Way Home, while his archnemesis, Wilson Fisk, made his presence known in Hawkeye.
Now, the future looks bright for Daredevil and Kingpin, as they both appear in Marvel Studios’ Echo and Daredevil: Born Again, not to mention Cox guest-starring as Matt on She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.
But what about some of the other characters that originally appeared in the series on Netflix? Are they back for more Marvel fun?
Daredevil Supporting Actors Share MCU Excitement
Following the announcement of the upcoming MCU series Daredevil: Born Again, several supporting cast members from the original Daredevil show took to social media to post about the program. These posts could be interpreted as the actors hinting at their possible returns to the Disney+ offer. Read also : New on Netflix: The Best Movies and TV Shows Coming in July 2022. However, it should be noted that they can also only express their general enthusiasm.
Royce Johnson, who played NYPD Detective Brett Mahoney, posted the title treatment for Daredevil: Born Again with the caption “Summer 2024.”
Geoffrey Cantor, the actor who portrays Mitchell Ellison, the Redcor character in the New York Bulletin, made the same post as Johnson, ” Cantor also made a large multi-post spread showing the Born Again logo on his Instagram .
And finally, Amy Rutberg, who played lawyer and Foggy Nelson’s girlfriend Marci Stahl, also tweeted her reaction: “How exciting! Two of the BEST characters in the MCU. Hope the show is original and nostalgic.”
Are Daredevil Actors Hinting at a Comeback?
It would certainly be a big plus for Daredevil: Born Again to sign these actors for the series. After they originated the roles and became all popular fan favorites. Of course, it remains to be seen if Marvel Studios will use them or if this new show is some kind of soft reboot for the Daredevil mythos.
Arguably, the two most important players that Daredevil needs to bring back are Elden Henson as Foggy Nelson and Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page. Even if the show gets a continuity reset, many fans will be unhappy if these two characters and their actors are not brought back into the fold.

And what about some of the other Netflix Marvel staples? Krysten Ritter has been rumored to reprise Jessica Jones for some time, but word on the street is that Mike Colter’s Luke Cage and Finn Jones’ Iron Fist will eventually be rewritten with new actors.
Daredevil will next appear in Marvel Studios’ She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (premiering Wednesday, August 17) before making the jump to Echo (from summer 2023) and finally landing his own show in Daredevil: Born Again on Disney+.
