Charlie does not want to jeopardise Daredevil’s MCU chances

Actor Charlie Cox says he does not want to jeopardize ‘Daredevil's chances in the future of the MCU. Cox played Matt Murdock/’Daredevil’ in the Netflix series ‘Daredevil’ that ran for three seasons and was established as being set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Created by Stan Lee and Bill Everett in 1964, Daredevil has been a staple character for the Marvel brand ever since, crossing over mostly with fellow street-level characters such as ‘Spider-Man’, ‘Luke Cage’, ‘The Punisher’, etc.

 The son of a boxer in Hell's Kitchen, New York, Matt Murdock was blinded at a young age by a toxic chemical that enhanced all his other senses, giving him a kind of "radar sense" that allowed him to see in a very different way. Trained by a mysterious ninja master named Stick, Matt grew up to become a lawyer by day and adopted the signature red costume and Daredevil moniker by night, fighting crime in his Hell's Kitchen neighborhood (or anywhere he was needed).

The Netflix show drew heavily from ‘The Man Without Fear’ comics by Frank Miller and John Romita Jr., as well as many of the storylines that laid the foundation of the character, particularly from the 80s era. Daredevil's main nemesis in season 1 was Kingpin, as played by Vincent D'Onofrio, with more of his rogues' gallery introduced later on in the series, including the anti-hero ‘The Punisher’ (as played by Jon Bernthal) and Bullseye, who appeared in the third and final season. Another character that played a significant role in the show was Elektra, a romantic nemesis for Daredevil that continually re-enters his life. Cox also portrayed the character in ‘The Defenders’ mini-series, which brought together characters from the other Marvel/Netflix series to fight a larger threat.    —Forbes
