Charlie Cox might just be one of the examples of the sheer love and affection that an actor can build with their audience by giving their performance their 100%. He rose to the top of the popularity charts after portraying Marvel Studios’ Daredevil in Netflix’s original series of the same name, where we saw him inhabit the role of Matt Murdock, an advocate by day, and a crime-fighting vigilante by night. The depth to which the series went was the reason why Daredevil was such a big hit with the fans. Unfortunately, the series had to be canceled due to various unfavorable circumstances.
But it looks like Cox’s popularity far surpassed that of the character that he portrayed in the blockbuster Netflix series.
With recent news pouring in from DiscussingFilm, it seems like Netflix still has more expectations from Charlie Cox, as he has been summoned again by the OTT giant to play the lead role in their upcoming original series.

Daredevil was the launching pad that Netflix was looking for so long to build out its own version of The MCU, but on the small screen with relatively underground superheroes that worked from the shadows to protect the people from everyday dangers. In order to do so, they collaborated with Marvel Television to bring those heroes to life. and thus, Charlie Cox was brought in to play the role of Matt Murdock, a.k.a Daredevil.

But due to unfortunate timing, Marvel Studios pulled back all the licenses from Marvel Television to create a separate small-screen MCU that would tie to the grand scheme of things with the major motion films by Marvel Studios. This in turn led to the cancelation of Netflix’s beloved Daredevil. But it seems like Netflix doesn’t want to get rid of Charlie Cox that easily. With recent news and first-look stills, we now have confirmation of the Daredevil star’s return to Netflix’s upcoming original series Treason.
