The Netflix Daredevil series was great, but one thing it never really did was spend enough time focusing on Matt Murdock as a lawyer. As we prepare for Daredevil: Born Again on Disney+, Charlie Cox is speaking up about how that’s something that is about to change. Here’s what he had to say in a new interview with GQ.
“I think because of the number of episodes they’ve committed to, there’ll be a heavy influence of courtroom stuff – Matt Murdock, the lawyer, in the new show. So I’m heavily focused on researching that area of this character and his life. It was one of the areas we didn’t do a huge amount of exploration around before.”
In regards to what it’s like to step back into the role of Daredevil, it sounds like Cox is still working on getting comfortable with this new adaptation.
“To date, I’ve only done that cameo in Spider-Man and the one episode in She-Hulk, which was tonally so different from anything I’d done before. So no, I’m now in the process of preparing for next year when we shoot the show: I’ve been re-reading the comics from start to finish, and I’m just starting to try to get back into shape for a role like that.”
We’re excited to hear that the 18-episode show is going to bring more focus to Matt as a lawyer. It’s something that we thought was missing from the Jennifer Walters character in She-Hulk. Now we just need them to announce if they’ll be bringing back Eldon Henson and Deborah Ann Woll as Foggy Nelson and Karen Page.
The new series is set for a two-episode premiere, June 4 on Disney+.
