Charlie Cox might just be one of the examples of the sheer love and affection that an actor can build with their audience by giving their performance their 100%. He rose to the top of the popularity charts after portraying Marvel Studios’ Daredevil in Netflix’s original series of the same name, where we saw him inhabit the role of Matt Murdock, an advocate by day, and a crime-fighting vigilante by night. The depth to which the series went was the reason why Daredevil was such a big hit with the fans. Unfortunately, the series had to be canceled due to various unfavorable circumstances.
But it looks like Cox’s popularity far surpassed that of the character that he portrayed in the blockbuster Netflix series.
With recent news pouring in from DiscussingFilm, it seems like Netflix still has more expectations from Charlie Cox, as he has been summoned again by the OTT giant to play the lead role in their upcoming original series.
