Spider-Man and Daredevil have teamed up multiple times in the Marvel comics, and fans have been hoping for an MCU crossover for years.
Charlie Cox, who plays Matt Murdock/Daredevil, made his official Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) debut in 2021'sSpider-Man: No Way Home, appearing as Peter Parker's (Tom Holland) lawyer. Since then, he has returned as the vigilante inShe-Hulk: Attorney at Law,Echo,and two seasons ofDaredevil: Born Again.
After the Season 2 finale ofDaredevil: Born Again, many fans believe that Matt Murdock will appear inSpider-Man: Brand New Day.
In the Season 2 finale, Matt Murdock ends up in prison after revealing his secret identity as Daredevil. A scene in the trailer forSpider-Man: Brand New Dayshows Tom Holland's Spider-Man fighting ninjas inside a prison setting.
These ninjas, dressed in red, appear to belong to The Hand, an organisation Daredevil has previously faced in the second season of Netflix'sDaredevilandThe Defenders.
Many moons ago i would’ve believed that Daredevil wasn’t actually in Spider-Man Brand New Day.But no. He’s absolutely in it. There’s physically no world where they don’t overlap.IT’S LITERALLY THE HAND IN A PRISON.pic.twitter.com/VCr6a5XNWR
Some fans believe Spider-Man could be breaking Matt out of prison, with Peter rescuing Murdock after The Hand goes after him following Daredevil's identity reveal. However,others thinkthat Matt wouldn't agree to escape prison, even if given the chance.
Still, The Hand's return inSpider-Man: Brand New Day, along with the appearance of Frank Castle/The Punisher (Jon Bernthal), has fueled speculation that Cox could at least make a cameo.
Additionally, with New York being ruled by a corrupt mayor waging war on vigilantes through an Anti-Vigilante Task Force, some find it hard to believe that Spider-Man didn't somehow get involved in the fight against Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio). With all these connections, many fans believe that Charlie Cox will be inSpider-Man: Brand New Day.
Charlie Cox has denied being in the movie on several occasions. Last year,the actor said, 'I know that they all think I'm in Spider-Man because I'm filming something in London, which I'm not. I'm not in Spider-Man...I'm just concentrating on DD right now.'
