Marvel Studios has had a wildly successful year in 2026, and the release everyone's been talking about is Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Not only did the film gross over $2.5 billion at the global box office, but it also earned enough in America to become the highest-grossing movie in domestic box office history before hitting VOD platforms like Prime Video this week. In addition to its first feature film of the year, Marvel has unleashed several seasons of Disney Plus shows out into the world, as well as introducing an entirely new show, Wonder Man. Wonder Man will not be returning for another season, but the beloved animated hit X-Men ‘97 will, as well as another show that returned for Season 2 earlier this year, Daredevil: Born Again.

Marvel renewed Daredevil: Born Again for Season 3 around a year ago this time, months before the Season 2 premiere. The future of the series beyond Season 3 was unclear until a few weeks ago, when news broke that the show was officially set to end with Season 3. Also in this report was the news that showrunner Dario Scardapane had left the show during the middle of post-production, but the nature of his departure has still not been confirmed. The question on everyone’s mind right now, though, is whether the show ending in Season 3 was as much of a shock to the cast as it was to fans. During a recent interview with Collider’s Maggie Lovitt at New York Comic Con, Daredevil: Born Again star Charlie Cox said that “Yes, we knew [the show was ending],” even admitting that “no, it wasn’t that much of a surprise.”

Charlie Cox Has Played Daredevil More Times Than You Realize

Not even counting his pre-MCU appearances in the Netflix Daredevil series and the Defenders series, Charlie Cox has suited up as Daredevil in the MCU quite a few times already. He first played Matt Murdock for only one scene in Spider-Man: No Way Home, but he did not return in Spider-Man: Brand New Day alongside his long-time co-star, Jon Bernthal. Following his brief stint in Spider-Man 3, Cox returned in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law before also reprising the role the next year in Echo. He’s even settled into a role voicing Daredevil in the beloved animated series, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, which is returning for Season 2 on January 13.
