The multiverse narrative in MCU has led to a grand collision of parallel worlds, and Charlie Cox’s Daredevil will also be a part of the mix. Reports suggest that he will have a small role in Avengers: Doomsday, but there are not many details about the same, perhaps it’s a cameo that would eventually lead to a standalone film.

Regardless, fans would be more than pleased to see Cox portray Matt Murdock once again. The blind lawyer from Hell’s Kitchen who works as a masked vigilante named Daredevil has already garnered critical acclaim and audience’s love through his titular series. He was reintroduced in Spider-Man: No Way Home and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, which set the stage for his Disney+ solo series. 

His appearance in Doomsday suggests that Marvel intends to have him as a key player in Phase 6. Daredevil is often a part of more ground-level matters and is known for his nuanced moral compass, so his involvement in the high-stakes film would provide a nice contrast. 

Why Daredevil is appearing at the perfect time in Avengers: Doomsday?

Daredevil’s comeback is timed perfectly because by the time of the Robert Downey Jr. starrer Avengers: Doomsday’s release, Cox’s character would have already gained traction. Thanks to Daredevil: Born Again, the Disney+ show that will premiere in March 2025. In the series, we’ll get to see the continuation of the Netflix iteration.

It would be fresh yet nostalgic for the fans to experience the show again with the same cast. Even this time around, Daredevil will go head to head with Wilson Fisk, aka Kingpin, and other enemies. Within no time, Daredevil: Born Again will become one of the most discussed shows due to its dark themes, gritty undertones, and amazing performances (if it gets the same treatment as its Netflix counterpart)

So by the time, Doomsday rolls around, the buzz surrounding Daredevil will be at its peak, which will make his appearance even more impactful! As Robert Downey Jr. steps into the menacing armor of Doctor Doom, fans can expect a clash of epic proportions, where every character, no matter how small their role, contributes to the larger narrative.
