Charlie Cox Has Questions About Daredevil’s Future

The end of The Defenders was filled with many tragic moments, and it almost seemed like one pivotal character wasn’t going to make it out alive.

Spoilers for The Defenders below.

After the high-rise building at Midland Circle crashed down on top of Matt Murdock and Elektra, the other Defenders thought their teammate didn’t make it out alive. But the final scene Marvel crossover series revealed that Daredevil was alive but he wasn’t unscathed.

With Daredevil Season Three on the horizon, where can the character go from here? The series actor gave an answer to the Hollywood Reporter.

“I honestly have no idea,” said star Charlie Cox. “Whenever I think I know where something’s going or what something’s going to mean, I’m often completely wrong and surprised by the scripts when I read them. I almost prefer not to speculate. God knows. I could see it going many different ways for him.”

The Defenders began with Murdock putting aside his vigilante ways until the circumstances dictated his return. Just when he thought he was out, the Hand pulled him back in.

“He’s been struggling with who he is, or at least this aspect of himself, being Daredevil and engaging in vigilante justice on a regular basis,” Cox said. “I can’t personally see a world where he’ll ever rid himself of that, despite the attempts to hang up the horns, as it were. At some point, one of two things is going to happen: either he’s going to embrace it in a way he never has before, or he’s going to continue to fight it. But at some point, ‘it’ will probably win over.”

Based on Cox’s on interpretation of the character, we can probably expect to see a more intense Devil of Hell’s Kitchen in the future.

The Defenders is now streaming on Netflix.
