Sometimes producers fail to maintain the originality of a series/movie. Charlie Cox, who is famous for playing Daredevil, seems to be a victim of such trends. We all know how insanely popular his show was on Netflix, but they are moving to Disney+ from March 16 onwards.
Regardless, last week the actor talked about his surprising cameo in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Needless to say, those few seconds of his screen presence were very much in talks.
Charlie Cox wanted to take a taste of the audience’s reaction so he snuck into a theatre. He said, “It’s funny, I got so many text messages and so many calls about that moment in the cinema. My nephew sent me a recording of everyone cheering. So I snuck into a movie theatre near where I live and literally stood in the corridor… and, sadly, my experience was it was dead f**king quiet! I was so disappointed – my wife was with me and she was recording me because it’d be fun to have that moment of everyone cheering, and then… tumbleweed!”
But you would wonder how come he is sceptical with Marvel or Daredevil. Then hold on because his latest statement definitely reflects that. When asked will Marvel and Disney be able to pull off a light version of the character going forward that isn’t R-Rated?
“I wouldn’t put it past the folks at Marvel to be able to accomplish that. I’m such a fan of everything they’ve done so far, I wouldn’t underestimate them at all… so if they wanted to make a more PG version of Daredevil, I back them to find a way to do where it feels totally in keeping with everything we’ve done. And maybe there’s a little less blood, maybe there’s a little whatever, but I back them to do it. It absolutely can work, but I guess what you can’t deny is Daredevil is never going to work as well in a PG world as Spider-Man does. ”
