‘Daredevil’ Star Charlie Cox Thankful For Fan Support & Petition

Daredevil star Charlie Cox is thankful for the ongoing fan support and petition to save the series following the Netflix cancellation.

Daredevil launched the Netflix corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe back in 2015 and has been hailed as one of the best comic book television shows of all time. Season 3 dropped back in October to rave reviews, but the series was cancelled a month later, joining other Netflix-Marvel shows. Cox expressed his love of the character and the material over the years and shared his honest feelings about the show’s controversial cancellation with ComicBook.com:

“Just thank you. Just, thank you, and it’s so cool that people care that much, and it’s difficult because I love the character so much, I love the show so much that I’m feeling the same feelings. I’m feeling the disappointment, I’m feeling the sadness, I’m feeling the anger about it and I’m trying not to…I don’t wanna get my hopes up, because obviously, I know that an online petition doesn’t necessarily mean anything’s gonna happen, but also, you hope that in this day and age the people who make those decisions do listen to what’s going on online and if we make a big enough splash then maybe something can be done.”

A current petition called #SaveDaredevil has been supported by many of the cast and crew and has already reached thousands of signatures. It is not unheard of for a cancelled show being revived on another network. However, it seems unrealistic the cancelled shows will continue on Disney+ and Hulu due to the contract between Disney and Netlix, but Cox supported fans fighting for a series revival:

“I don’t know what the legal rules are, I don’t know what the politics are behind it all, but I’m hopeful that, at some point, we’d be able to pick up the batons, as it were. And continue on with this journey that we started. So my message is thank you and keep it up. I think we’re almost at a couple of hundred thousand signatures and we started with a goal, they started with a goal of fifty thousand or something so let’s get more people to sign it.”

Daredevil season 3 stars Charlie Cox, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, Vincent D’Onofrio, Wilson Bethel, Jay Ali, and Lesley Ann Warren.

Missing for months, Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) reemerges a broken man, putting into question his future as both vigilante Daredevil and lawyer Matthew Murdock. But when his archenemy Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) is released from prison, Matt must choose between hiding from the world, or embracing his destiny as a hero.

Daredevil Season 3 is now streaming on Netflix. Stay tuned to Heroic Hollywood for the latest news on the future of the Netflix corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as we learn it.
