Charlie Cox made his debut as Matt Murdock in the then-Netflix series Daredevil, which ran for three seasons on the streamer, and even though it’s been four years since the series ended, Murdock is still officially a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which was ultimately confirmed last year when Cox reprised the role in a special cameo as Peter Parker’s attorney in Spider-Man: No Way Home.

In the Daredevil series, Vincent D’Onofrio played the role of the titular character’s archnemesis Kingpin. Much like Cox, D’Onofrio also reprised the role in the official MCU canon last year in the Hawkeye series on Disney+. Although his character was seemingly killed off at the end of the series, it looks like the fans’ theory about fake death is true.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, both Cox and D’Onofrio are set to reprise their roles in Marvel’s Echo, an upcoming spin-off series that will follow the solo adventure of Alaqua Cox’s Maya Lopez, also known as Echo. We met the character in the Hawkeye series last year, and her own spin-off series is currently in production, set to premiere exclusively on Disney+ in 2023.

According to THR’s report, “Echo will include a plotline in which Daredevil, whose alter ego is blind attorney Matt Murdock, is searching out a former ally,” and although it wasn’t confirmed, some believe that the former ally could be Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones, who starred in her own three-season series on Netflix, and she also starred alongside Charlie Cox in the crossover series The Defenders.

The news about bringing Daredevil and Kingpin back for the upcoming series will certainly increase the hype for the series, considering that both Cox and D’Onofrio were praised for the performances and the hero-villain chemistry their characters had in the Netflix series. Earlier this year, it was reported that a soft reboot of the series is in development for Disney+, and Feige already confirmed last year that Charlie Cox will continue to play The Man Without Fear in the future of the MCU.

He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
