What Netflix's Daredevil Cast Is Doing Now, Including Charlie Cox
With only three seasons and nearly 40 episodes, Netflix's Daredevil didn't have a long stay, but it kept a devoted fanbase. The gritty, grounded take on the popular Marvel character ushered in a short-lived sideverse for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which also included Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, The Punisher, and The Defenders. Played by Charlie Cox, this brooding comic book series proved to be a more fitting take on the crime-fighter than the lackluster 2003 film adaptation, and it established the darker, more adult avenues that Marvel could explore.
But, now that the show is over, at least for the present moment, what is the Daredevil cast working on? Let's take a look and find out!
