Charlie Cox has resumed his iconic role as Daredevil, appearing in a key scene of Spider-Man: No Way Home, marking his definitive integration into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). This return was met with great anticipation from the actor, who expressed his excitement at sharing the moment with fans. However, the audience’s reaction turned out to be notably more subdued than expected. In an interview, Cox revealed his disappointment at not hearing cheers or applause in the theater, unlike other standout moments in the film, which contrasts with the usual prior euphoria of the American audience.

Despite the comparisons to other iconic returns, such as those of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, Cox’s appearance did not resonate in the room as anticipated. “My nephew sent me a recording of how the audience cheered, but in the end, my experience was one of absolute silence,” the actor commented, making it clear the disconnect between his enthusiasm and that of some viewers. This has led some analysts to speculate about the varied reception of the character among the current MCU audience.
However, it is expected that the character of Matt Murdock will make more appearances in future projects, including the upcoming Avengers movies, under the direction of the Russo brothers. This possibility has renewed the interest of fans, who, despite the lukewarm reaction to No Way Home, trust that Daredevil will be treated with the dignity and development he deserves on the big screen.
It is expected that with these new projects, the character can regain the recognition it deserves and capture the attention of both old fans and a new generation of viewers within the MCU.
