“I love Charlie to bits. We did a play together on Broadway years ago.”

Driving his fans’ attention towards Charlie Cox’s upcoming Daredevil: Born Again, and discussing his friendship with the actor, Tom Hiddleston then went on to tease the Loki vs Wolverine possibility.

Charlie Cox is Venturing into the MCU with Daredevil: Born Again

Meanwhile, as Tom Hiddleston urged fans to take a look at Charlie Cox‘s Daredevil: Born Again, it’s certainly important to address the demands of our absolute favorite God of Mischief. Well, Cox previously had his standalone Netflix show Daredevil, which earned rave reviews as a part of the DefenderVerse. However, after Netflix canceled all DefenderVerse shows in 2019, Daredevil got shelved as well.

Thereafter, it took years for any of the DefenderVerse shows to relaunch or even have the hope of hitting television. Recently, after Charlie Cox’s Daredevil appeared in Tom Holland’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, there seemed a possibility for the DefenderVerse characters to appear in the MCU. Soon, Marvel announced their decision to work on relaunching Cox’s Daredevil as a part of the MCU with Daredevil: Born Again.

Although the plot of the show has been successfully kept under wraps, it was previously rumored that Daredevil: Born Again will follow the events mentioned in Marvel’s Devil’s Reign. But with a lack of confirmation as such, media outlets could only verify that the upcoming show will pick up right where we last saw Daredevil in Netflix’s version.

Daredevil: Born Again is scheduled to premiere on Disney+ in 2025.
