Briefly

Charlie Cox, approaching 30, reconciled the idea of not becoming a superhero like his friends.

Now at 42, he rejoins the Marvel universe in Disney+'s 'Daredevil: Born Again', battling familiar foes like Wilson Fisk. He expresses excitement about this second chance and hopes for a long-term role, joking about the potential for another two decades as Daredevil, buoyed by a new comic release.
As he transitioned into his 30s, Charlie Cox watched friends like Andrew Garfield and Henry Cavill soar as superheroes, accepting that his own superhero role likely wouldn't come.
When the Netflix series Daredevil premiered in 2015, Cox was fortunate to land the role, but after three successful seasons, the show was unexpectedly canceled.
Returning at 42 for Disney+'s Daredevil: Born Again, Cox delights in having the opportunity to continue portraying the vigilante and discusses his hopes for longevity in the role.
Cox expresses gratitude for his comeback, humorously mentioning how the announcement of Daredevil's new comic gives him hope for another 20 years in the superhero universe.
