The 40-year-old deems D’Onofrio possibly delusional, harboring aspirations for a Daredevil resurgence in the MCU.

Vincent D’Onofrio, elevated by optimism, believed in the potential return of Marvel’s Daredevil. Even after its abrupt cancellation on Netflix after three seasons.
On the contrary, Charlie Cox, embodying the iconic Matt Murdock, harbored no expectations of reprising his role in Marvel Studios’ Daredevil: Born Again.
Cox, to the extent of labeling D’Onofrio “delusional,” dismissed any prospect of returning to their former superhero personas. During the Panel Wales Comic Con, the artist said,
“I really thought that ship had sailed, you know? I thought it was over. I didn’t know that. I just thought it was over. And Vincent [D’Onofrio], who plays Wilson Fisk, and I would chat occasionally on the phone. And he would kind of say, ‘I’m sure they’re gonna bring us back.’ I’d be on the phone being, like, ‘Mate, the guy’s delusional! He’s got to let it go.”
In a surprising twist, D’Onofrio reprised his role as Kingpin in the 2021 Disney+ series Hawkeye. While Cox made a cameo appearance in Spider-Man: No Way Home the same year, setting the stage for his return in Disney+’s She-Hulk.
This unawareness during the hiatus led to amusing exchanges with the 64-year-old, who remained hopeful during occasional phone conversations.
Ultimately, despite earlier skepticism, Cox and D’Onofrio successfully reunite in Daredevil: Born Again, underscoring the unpredictable twists in the superhero saga.

The eagerly awaited reunion of the Kin star and D’Onofrio has come to fruition as they once again join forces in the revival of Daredevil.
Their collaboration extends to Marvel Studios’ inaugural TV-MA series, Echo, and the forthcoming Disney+ production, Daredevil: Born Again. Adding to the excitement, Jon Bernthal is set to reprise his role as The Punisher, bringing another layer of complexity to the narrative.
Directed by Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, known for their contributions to Loki Season 2 post a creative overhaul, the series promises a fresh perspective.
Cox, envisioning Daredevil in the MCU also expressed a desire for an unlikely partnership with Iron Man. It acknowledges the challenge due to Tony Stark’s demise in Avengers: Endgame. According to the Popverse, Cox stated,
“I was actually catching up on some of the comics recently, and I was reading one from 2020 where Daredevil and Iron Man have a bit of a run-in together, which is quite fun. I was thinking that would be very cool. I don’t think that’s possible now because he’s dead, isn’t he? But you know… it’s Marvel… who knows.”
As the narrative unfolds, the return of these iconic characters not only signifies a success for the actors but also fuels anticipation among devoted fans of the lauded series.
