A new batch of photos from the New York City set of Marvel Studios’ upcoming Daredevil: Born Again series unveils a closer look at Charlie Cox as the titular hero.Shared by Daredevil Updates on Twitter, the behind-the-scenes images feature the actor in a navy blue office suit paired with a black coat. To complete his Matt Murdock look, Cox is also wearing his character’s signature red glasses. Some of the photos also show Cox playing tricks with Daredevil’s handy cane including balancing the stick on one of his shoes.
With the working title of "Out the Kitchen," production on the upcoming Disney+ series started two months ago after five years since Netflix canceled the original series. Daredevil: Born Again was officially announced by Marvel Studios during San Diego Comic-Con 2022. Created by Matt Corman and Chris Ord, the revival will see Cox reprise his fan-favorite role as Matt Murdock/ Daredevil.
Before landing an official 18-episode series order, the Stardust actor made his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, in which he briefly appeared as Peter Parker/Spider-Man's (Tom Holland) lawyer after the friendly neighborhood hero was wrongly accused of killing Mysterio. In addition to his No Way Home appearance, Cox also guest-starred in Disney+’s She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, where he showed up in a comic-accurate red-and-yellow Daredevil suit.
During his two-episode She-Hulk arc, fans saw a new side to Matt Murdock. "I had to adapt a little bit my Matt Murdock so that he was in a place in his life where he's having fun and life is good and he's a bit cheeky and a bit flirty, and it's just, tonally, slightly different," Cox said of his performance. "And it was a bit of an experiment, but it was really enjoyable and I really had a good time."
