When a canister of toxic waste splashed into his eyes, young Matt Murdock lost his ability to see. But between his natural talents, the effect of the chemicals, and the cruel tutelage of his mentor Stick, Murdock enhanced his other senses. So acute are his hearing and smell, in fact, that he can tell when someone is lying just by listening to the increase of their heartbeats and the odor of sweat on their brows.That talent sure would be handy when listening to Daredevil star Charlie Cox talk about the new Marvel movie Spider-Man: Brand New Day. “I’m not in the movie,” Cox told Jimmy Kimmel when the host brought up the subject of the new Spidey trailer. In doing so, Cox echoes the words of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, both of whom told people they were not in Spider-Man: No Way Home, a movie that co-starred Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. Also appearing in No Way Home? Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock.cnx.cmd.push(function() {cnx({playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530",}).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796");});Cox appeared on Kimmel to talk about a different Marvel property, season two of Daredevil: Born Again. The second season of the Disney+ series finds Daredevil leading a resistance against the former Kingpin of Crime and current governor of New York, Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio), who has used his Anti-Vigilante legislation to declare martial law on the city and send militarized police to attack citizens. The new season brings back not just Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page, but also Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones, marking her first appearance in the MCU.The season also sees Daredevil wearing a black costume inspired by the Back in Black comic book storyline by Charles Soule and Ron Garney, and, for the first time in the show, with the “DD” logo on the chest. “It’s been a long time coming,” admitted Cox, after pointing out that the logo consists of “interlocking Ds” and not “double Ds” (“That would be a very different kind of show,” quipped Kimmel). He said, “I’ve been asked about it since I was cast in April of 2014,” and assured viewers that the decision wasn’t arbitrary. “They wound the logo into the story, so there’s a reason for it,” he promised, and then became spoiler-phobic again to add, “I’m not sure how much of that I can give away yet.”In both his comments about Born Again season two and Brand New Day, Cox is upholding a long-standing Marvel tradition. Actors in Marvel movies are strictly forbidden from revealing any spoilers about their movies. An older performer with less investment in the franchise (like, say, Ian McKellen) might violate that rule, but most actors make it very plain that they are not allowed to say much about the movies.Still, it’s hard to believe that Daredevil won’t make some sort of appearance in Brand New Day. Not only does the movie let Spider-Man stay in New York City, the same place where Matt Murdock lives, and not only are Daredevil and Spidey frequent allies in the comics, but the trailer is chock-full of Daredevil stuff. So Daredevil must be in Brand New Day, right? To his credit, Cox acknowledges the game he has to play when dealing with spoilers. “If I was in the movie, I would also say ‘no,’ to be clear,” he told Kimmel. “But I’m not in the movie.” And he said it with such confidence and conviction that it would take someone with superhuman senses to know if he’s lying. Or, we can just wait until Spider-Man: Brand New Day comes to theaters on July 31, 2026.Daredevil: Born Again season two debuts on Disney+ on March 24, 2026.The post Daredevil’s Charlie Cox Insists He’s Not in Spider-Man Movie, Just Like Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield Did appeared first on Den of Geek.
