'Daredevil': Charlie Cox Talks Joining the MCU and Season 2 Possibilities

While we all hoped Marvel’s Daredevil was going to turn out well, I’ll admit the show is a lot better than I expected. As most of you have seen, it’s gritty, dark, and features great performances across the board with special mention to Vincent D'Onofrio’s work as Kingpin. He’s a fully formed antagonist that has issues like the rest of us. What I also love is Daredevil is doesn’t shy away from showing the dark underbelly of New York City (specifically Hell’s Kitchen), and gives us a very different look at what’s going on in the Marvel universe. Recently I landed an exclusive video interview with Charlie Cox (Daredevil). He talked about the experience of getting cast, making the show with limited pre-production time, if Daredevil could appear in the Marvel films and the exciting possibility of teaming up with Spider-Man, if he noticed the Marvel Easter eggs as they were filming, if there any Daredevil storylines he wants to do in season 2 (which just got ordered), and a lot more.
