Spider-Man: No Way Home saw the surprising return of many characters in either small cameos or large roles, one being Charlie Cox's Daredevil from the acclaimed Netflix series of the same name. Now, star Tom Holland would like to see his Spider-Man team up with Cox's Daredevil in future MCU projects.
While Spider-Man: No Way Home focused on the return of past Spidey's and his villains from previous films, Cox's appearance as Matt Murdock sparked interest in the future of the character, especially whether Daredevil was canon in the MCU was in question after the show was canceled. While fans still don't know exactly what's in store for Daredevil, Holland certainly has his own hopes.
Promoting his upcoming adventure film Uncharted, Holland spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about Spider-Man: No Way Home's success and his time getting to work with some incredible talents like Cox. “No one has really asked about that. Working with Charlie was incredibly exciting,” Holland said. "I was a big fan of the Daredevil series, and I think he’s a fantastic actor. He’s done a wonderful job with that character, and albeit it was a small cameo, it obviously teased the future of what could be." Holland would then go on to share his hopes of one day reuniting with the Daredevil actor and seeing their characters team up at some point in either the MCU or Sony's separate Spider-Man universe.
“It was really cool to see him snap back into a character that I am really a fan of and that he has a lot of love for, obviously,” Holland said. “So it was pretty awesome, and I hope that one day we find a way for Spider-Man and Daredevil to team up again.” The Spider-Man: No Way Home scene with the two heroes didn't last long, but having a character like Daredevil make his introduction into the MCU, especially with Cox reprising the role from his own series instead of a new actor, opens up many doors that will now see the MCU tie into previous Marvel shows that were separate from the ongoing cinematic universe.
On top of that, Vincent D'Onofrio reprising his role as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin from Daredevil in Disney Plus' Hawkeye also means that fans could be seeing the return of many fan favorite heroes and villains, as the Marvel Studios' spin-off series Echo is rumored to feature the villainous character in more of a lead role. It will be interesting to see how Kevin Feige and the rest of the team look to bring back many of the heroes from the Netflix series to the MCU, as they will most likely start gradually appearing in this expansive phase four.
While it is still unclear what direction Holland's Spider-Man is headed next, Sony producer Amy Pascal has confirmed that his version of Spider-Man will return for at least three more films, so perhaps Daredevil will featured in one of those. But for now, fans will just have to catch up on Netflix's Daredevil and No Way Home to see more of blind vigilante.
