At a recent fan signing event, fans eagerly questioned Daredevil: Born Again star Charlie Cox about the possibility of seeing Daredevil in Avengers: Doomsday. When directly asked if his character would appear in the highly anticipated film, Cox provided a quick and definitive answer: “No.” Despite the widespread hopes of Marvel enthusiasts, he confirmed that The Man Without Fear would not be joining the lineup for the 2026 MCU blockbuster. This news, while disappointing for many, sets the stage for Daredevil to continue his journey independently in the ever-expanding Marvel Cinematic Universe.
This revelation leaves fans with mixed feelings. On one hand, it’s disappointing not to see Daredevil share the screen with the Avengers in such a monumental film. On the other hand, it opens the door for the character to shine in his own narrative.
The Expanding MCU – Room for All Heroes
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is larger than ever, with a growing roster of heroes and villains. Although Daredevil’s absence in Daredevil in Avengers: Doomsday might feel like a missed opportunity, it reflects Marvel’s strategy to create distinct arcs for its characters. By focusing on individuality, Marvel ensures that each hero has a unique narrative within the broader MCU. Moreover, by allowing heroes like Daredevil to develop independently, Marvel can ensure more impactful and meaningful crossovers in future projects.
Charlie Cox’s portrayal of Daredevil has already garnered widespread acclaim, with fans praising his nuanced take on Matt Murdock. Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 is expected to delve deeper into the character’s evolution, possibly setting up future collaborations with the Avengers.
Avengers: Doomsday – A Star-Studded Blockbuster
Both Avengers: Doomsday and Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 are currently in production, with both projects slated for 2026 releases. Directed by the acclaimed Russo Brothers, Avengers: Doomsday is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious films in Marvel history. The movie features an impressive lineup of stars, including:
- Robert Downey Jr. in a shocking return as Doctor Doom,
- Pedro Pascal in an undisclosed but pivotal role,
- Chris Hemsworth reprising his role as Thor,
- Paul Rudd as Ant-Man,
- And the return of iconic X-Men actors Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen.
Marvel Studios has hinted at even more surprise appearances, fueling fan excitement. The multiversal storyline offers endless possibilities for characters to interact and unexpected alliances to form.
The Multiverse and the Possibility of Daredevil in Avengers: Doomsday Surprises
Although Charlie Cox stated that Daredevil won’t appear in Avengers: Doomsday, the MCU often surprises fans with its secrecy and unexpected last-minute reveals. Could there be a post-credit scene teasing Daredevil in Avengers films? Fans can only speculate.
Additionally, the multiverse storyline creates opportunities for heroes from different timelines to cross paths. Even if Daredevil isn’t part of Doomsday, his presence in the wider MCU is undeniable. From his cameo in Spider-Man: No Way Home to his ongoing series, Daredevil remains a crucial figure in Marvel’s interconnected universe.
Daredevil’s grounded, street-level heroism sharply contrasts with the cosmic and multiversal scale of Avengers: Doomsday. Marvel likely intends this separation to preserve the character’s gritty realism, keeping it distinct from larger-than-life battles.
By focusing on Daredevil: Born Again series, Marvel can maintain the character’s unique tone and storytelling style. Fans can look forward to a deeper exploration of Matt Murdock’s struggles, relationships, and challenges as Hell’s Kitchen’s protector.
Charlie Cox has confirmed that Daredevil won’t be suiting up for this multiversal war — at least for now. But fans shouldn’t lose hope. Marvel Studios is known for its unexpected surprises. Future crossovers could still bring Daredevil into Avengers: Doomsday.
So while he may be sitting this one out (for now), the MCU still has plenty of heroes — and twists — in store. Audiences can expect to stay thrilled and engaged.
