'Daredevil' Season 2 News, Spoilers: Charlie Cox Wants to Be in a Marvel Movie, Explains Hallway Fight Scene
Actor Charlie Cox, who plays the titular role in Netflix's superhero series "Daredevil," says that he would love for the iconic character to return to the big screen.
Daredevil was previously portrayed in the 2003 live-action film "Daredevil" by "Batman v Superman" star Ben Affleck.
Cox, who plays lawyer-by-day vigilante-by-night Matt Murdock/Daredevil, has previously spoken about wanting to see the Marvel Comics character make his way into a Marvel film. With the recent release of the show's second season, Cox reiterated his previous statement, telling IGN, "Personally I would love to be in one of the Marvel movies, but that's completely out of my hands – I'm not privy to those conversations."

Though the actor admitted that he doesn't know if a crossover could happen between his Netflix series and a Marvel Studios project, he emphasized that Marvel Studios characters have appeared in or gotten their own Marvel TV shows.
"I know it happened in other shows, I know it's happened in 'Agents of SHIELD' and of course 'Agent Carter,' but I have no idea," he said.
Meanwhile, Cox also recently spoke about the intense and realistic hallway fight scene in the recently-released season 2. Similar to the crowd-pleasing fight scene in season 1, the fight sequence in season 2—where Daredevil faces off with an angry gang of bikers after having just survived a brush with Frank Castle/the Punisher (Jon Bernthal)—features precise, realistic choreography.
According to the actor, though the scene was difficult to shoot, it was also really fun and "different." Speaking to Business Insider, Cox explained why the three-minute fight scene, which was directed by Marc Jobst, had short breaks for Daredevil to catch his breath.
"If you were to get into fights that lasted that long, you would be dying," the actor said. "You would be so out of breath. You wouldn't be able to get the air in quick enough. I just think that's such a smart piece of choreography..."
The second season of "Daredevil" is now streaming on Netflix.
