12 years before Charlie Cox’s Marvel hero got his debut, the 2003Daredevilmovie released to a more complicated reception, and the difference between the Man Without Fear’s on-screen reputation then and now makes the idea of an MCU movie seem all the more pertinent. Daredevil‘s initial three-season-long run from 2015 to 2018 cemented the series as one of the most well-regarded superhero releases of all time. This long-lasting reputation helped bring Charlie Cox’s Daredevil back and officially into the MCU via his cameo in Spider-Man: No Way Home, building a new path forward.
