Charlie Cox Has Signed 10 Microwaves For Netflix Daredevil Fans

by

Summary

  • Charlie Cox‘s portrayal of Daredevil in the Netflix series led to the character’s resurgence.
  • Fans convinced Marvel to bring Daredevil back with “Born Again” after the show’s popularity.
  • “Born Again” aims for a gritty vibe, focusing on action over humor with big potential in the MCU.

As a dedicated cinephile, I’m thrilled to share that the return of Daredevil: Born Again has ignited a spectacular resurgence for the character, spotlighting none other than Charlie Cox. In appreciation for the die-hard fans who admired his performance in the original series, he’s unveiled one of the wittiest and most remarkable pieces of memorabilia ever created – a testament to our shared love for this iconic role!

Regardless of starring in his own movie, the character of Daredevil truly made an impact as a genuine live-action powerhouse with Charlie Cox’s portrayal on the Netflix Marvel series during the 2010s. Sharing screen time with Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin, the Man Without Fear gained immense popularity, leading fans to successfully persuade Marvel Studios to revive the character for the upcoming miniseries, “Daredevil: Born Again.” With only a few episodes of “Born Again” released on Disney+ thus far, it is already evident that Daredevil has managed to establish a gritty, realistic hero within the MCU in a way that even the big-screen adaptation, “Captain America: Brave New World,” did not quite achieve.

Among the many appealing aspects of Netflix’s Marvel series, such as Daredevil, is the impressive action sequences. The enthusiasm fans have for these shows has been evident in a recent interview where leads Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio discuss iconic moments and intense fight scenes from Daredevil: Born Again. During their conversation on GQ’s Action Replay series on YouTube, they revisit a memorable scene from the second episode of the original Daredevil show on Netflix. In this moment, Cox points out to D’Onofrio a scene where a microwave strikes an adversary and asks, “By the way, do you see that microwave hitting the guy in the head?” This query serves as the setup for one of Cox’s most amusing stories ever shared. He shares that he has signed approximately 10 microwaves since this scene aired, leaving D’Onofrio amazed. Early fans of the show found this early moment to be particularly significant, and Cox himself refers to it as “certainly… a very special moment.

Although Daredevil: Born Again initially made an impact with its violent tone, it’s debatable if it has created moments as iconic as the microwave toss from the original series. With a long history of fan backing and complex character developments now in the past, and an increased importance within the MCU, there’s a chance that Daredevil: Born Again may be too focused on seriousness to generate those type of memorable moments. This is unfortunate because they were more effective than the typical humor often found in MCU productions, which has had inconsistent results across both cinematic and streaming releases. Unlike its predecessor, Born Again aims to bring a new level of grittiness and brutality to the franchise, which might limit the inclusion of humor in the fight scenes.

Essentially, Netflix’s Daredevil has moved out of sight, while Born Again offers greater potential for the character than previously imagined in any other franchise. The series’ success on Disney+ suggests a promising future for Daredevil within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), and this is merely the start of its growth in popularity. Eventually, fans may witness a softer side to both the show and the character, but for now, there’s plenty to appreciate about Daredevil: Born Again.

Daredevil and Daredevil: Born Again are available to stream on Disney+.
