Daredevil actor Charlie Cox’s appearance at Fan Expo Canada was made even more special when several Marvel artists presented Cox with a gift of one-of-a-kind Daredevil sketches, celebrating the actor’s tenure as the on-screen representation of the character, from the early MCU Netflix Daredevil series to the upcoming Daredevil: Born Again.
Posted on Instagram by Kirby’s Comic Art (@kirbyscomicart), the photo shows a bearded, grinning Charlie Cox holding up three pencil sketches of Daredevil’s profile, reminiscent of his portrayal of the character.
Kirby’s cites the sketches as coming from Dike Ruan (@dikeruan), Francesco Mobili (@francesco.mobili), and Casey Parsons (@caseyarts77).
Charlie Cox Is The MCU’s First And Foremost Television Star
Charlie Cox starred as lawyer and superhero Matt Murdoch on Netflix’s Daredevil for three seasons, from 2015-2018.
The upcoming Daredevil: Born Again series is a hotly anticipated television reboot for the character, bringing the character’s story firmly in line with the conventions of the contemporary Marvel Cinematic Universe. When it premiered, Netflix’s Daredevil was its own distinct entity from Marvel’s films at the time – while the series was ostensibly set in the MCU, direct ties were few and far between; moreover, the style of the series was distinct from its big screen counterparts. By the time the series was canceled by Netflix, after a 36-episode run, the MCU had released Avengers: Infinity War and were six months from releasing its follow-up, Avengers: Endgame.
Those two Avengers films not only served as the climax to the first three Phases of the MCU, they also firmly codified the form of MCU films that had been developing over the first decade of its existence. Now, when Charlie Cox returns as Daredevil on the Disney+ series Daredevil: Born Again, he will exist fully within the greater scheme of the company’s cinematic landscape. Fans and members of the comic book industry alike are excited – as exemplified by the sketches gifted to Cox at Fan Exo Canada, by notable artists such as Dike Ruan, Francesco Mobili, and Casey Parsons.
Daredevil: Born Again Will Be Charlie Cox’s True Entrance Into The MCU
Due to a creative overhaul of the series, in addition to production delays due to the WAG and SAG-AFTRA strikes, Daredevil: Born Again may not premiere until late 2024, early 2025. The series is set to be part of Phase 5 of the MCU.
While Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdoch has made several brief cameo appearances in the MCU in the interim between Daredevil and Daredevil: Born Again, the new series will be his full, legitimate introduction to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, taking his place once more as one of the company’s premiere superheroes, in any medium. The sketches gifted to Cox serve as a reminder of the enduring appeal of the character, and once Born Again introduces Daredevil to yet another generation of Marvel fans, Charlie Cox can expect to receive more gifts of art from creators of all skill levels and ages, for a long time to come.
