Until Sunday, September 11, New York is the venue for one of the most anticipated events of the year for comic book readers: the Comic Con. For its twentieth edition, this gathering of superhero story enthusiasts once again focused on masterclasses, with several prestigious guests. During an exceptional panel that took place on the evening of October 8, Charlie Cox, the star of Daredevil: Born Again, appeared on stage to discuss the future of the series. And to say the least, he was in very good company!
Bad news confirmed for fans of Daredevil. The famous "Devil of Hell's Kitchen," Charlie Cox has been at the center of a masterclass organized by the New York Comic Con and Marvel Studios last night. This was an opportunity for fans of the series to see its main actor up close, but also to hear from him a terrible confirmation: the cancellation of the series. Cancelled once in 2018 to the great dismay of its fans, the series finally returned in 2025, ten years after its launch, on Disney+ with Daredevil: Born Again. However, despite good viewership and praise from critics, this latest season was itself cancelled only a year after its launch, as we reported on September 22. Although this information, picked up from our colleagues at The Hollywood Reporter, had not yet been officially confirmed, it is now confirmed. The third season of Daredevil: Born Again, soon to be released, will be the last.
However, Charlie Cox's appearance at the Comic Con was also an opportunity for Marvel Studios to calm angry fans with another announcement, much more positive. An announcement that brings a lot of comfort! The big surprise of this evening focused on the third season of Daredevil: Born Again. Charlie Cox did not appear alone on stage! Indeed, to the great pleasure of the audience present in the room, he was accompanied by the actors Krysten Ritter and Finn Jones. If the series fans probably recognize them mainly for their historical roles in Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones, many forget that they were also part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Let's go back to 2015. Before the creation of Disney+, it was Netflix that had the rights to adapt Marvel licenses into series. Working in partnership with Marvel Studios, the famous platform gave life to no less than five original series, each centered on a different superhero: Daredevil (Charlie Cox), Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), Iron Fist (Finn Jones), Luke Cage (Mike Colter), and the Punisher (Jon Bernthal). These series have since been grafted into the canon of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Daredevil even received a sequel (Born Again, therefore), and Bernthal's Punisher appeared alongside Tom Holland and Zendaya in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Since the third season of Daredevil: Born Again will therefore be the last, the fervent comic book readers have had the pleasure of learning that these characters, gathered under the code name "Defenders" (a sub-team of the Avengers, like the Fantastic Four), will return in the series for a final farewell before possibly returning to the cinema for the continuation of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
