But will theDaredevilstory continue in the upcomingSpider-Man 4?According to scooperDaniel Richtman, Daredevil will return to the Spider-Man franchise. After the popularity of the Netflix show and the positive reaction to Cox’s cameo inSpider-Man: No Way Home, fans are thrilled at the idea of the character’s revival. Cox returning to the MCU as a significant player inSpider-Man 4could also indicate theSpider-Man and Daredevil team-upthat fans have been hoping for. Spider-Man and Daredevil have been the central duo of many fan posters for the upcoming film, and perhaps the studio heads at Marvel Studios have been listening. Richtman also reported that Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man is being considered forSpider-Man 4in a role similar to Tony Stark or Doctor Strange’s in the previous two Holland-led movies.
InSpider-Man: No Way Home,Cox’s brief but memorable cameo as the Lawyer Matt Murdock, a.k.a. Daredevil, features him getting all of Peter Parker’s legal charges dropped after agreeing to take his case. This strictly civilian encounter left the fans wanting to see the pair fully suited up and left Peter Parker completely unaware that his lawyer is Daredevil. Thanks to Doctor Strange’s world-saving spell atthe end ofSpider-Man: No Way Home, Matt Murdock probably won’t remember Peter Parker either.
So how will the ultimate superhero team-up come together? At the end ofNo Way Home,Peter Parker is back to square one. The conclusion of theHometrilogy may serve as the perfect clean slate for Spider-Man, as he’ll now be supporting himself, fighting crime in New York without the help of Tony Stark or the Avengers. How the two characters will cross paths remains a mystery, but it doesn’t seem like a stretch given that they both work in NYC’s Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood. PerhapsDaredevilwill help Peter Parker readjust to his new life as an anonymous small-time superhero and evenkick off a new Spider-Man trilogy. Perhaps Holland’s Spider-Man will even appear inDaredevil: Born Again.
A little fan service may serve the struggling Marvel Studios well, and there’s no doubt that fans are already champing at the bit to see this potentially legendary team come together. If Richtman’s prediction turns out to be true, it could spell success for the MCU.
