Will the Marvel Cinematic Universe cross over with its TV counterpart? That’s the question on the minds of millions of fans across the globe. Unfortunately, for those who cling onto the hopes that Spider-Man will fight baddies alongside The Punisher will have to wait a little longer though as the possibility of a crossover looks slim at the moment.
Although the writers of Captain America: Civil War recently mentioned that there were conversations about bringing Daredevil into the film, Charlie Cox has confirmed that Marvel have not approached him about appearing in any upcoming MCU movies.
“There was no conversation about joining any of the movies,” he said via CNET (via Squareeyed). Although, the actor continued to express an interest in appearing on the big screen alongside the Avengers and the rest of the superheroes.
“Who wouldn’t want to be in the highest grossing film of all time?” Are you only in it for the money then, Charlie? Nah, just kidding.
It makes sense that Daredevil was left out of Civil War but will he eventually cross paths with The Avengers down the line? It’s clear that the fans and actors are up for it but it’s up to the powers that be in Marvel headquarters to sign on the dotted line.
“What we do know is at the end of this year we’re going to be making The Defenders and, of course, Daredevil is very much a part of that foursome,” Charlie Cox said (via Independent/Comic Book).
“I have no idea what the storyline is going to be for that show. I’m very excited to see how those world’s combine… and interested to see tonally how those shows become one.
“In terms of wrapping up any storylines, maybe they’ll do some of that in The Defenders. Or maybe they won’t.”
Marvel’s Daredevil Season 2 was released on Netflix on March 18th, which will be followed by Luke Cage on September 30th. Iron Fist is currently gearing up for production for an early 2017 release. The Defenders, which will see Cox’s return as Daredevil, can also be expected in the same year. We are also awaiting the second season of Jessica Jones.

Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
