Charlie Cox Discusses Daredevil’s Return in ‘Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man’
While he will not be joined by his Daredevil cohort Vincent D’onofrio, Charlie Cox is set to reprise his iconic role as Matt Murdock/Daredevil in the upcoming animated series Friendly Your Neighborhood Spider-Man.
Originally titled Spider-Man Freshman Year, Marvel Studios’ first Spider-Man series will feature a high school-age Peter Parker. While we do not know a ton about what the show will entail, we do know that it will focus on a variant of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man.
The character’s story “follows the pattern that you see in [Captain America:] ‘Civil War,’” with Peter even “getting the broken Blu-ray player from the trash and he walks into his department for the famous moment where Tony Stark is waiting for him to offer him the Stark internship and take him to Berlin,” according to a Brad Winderbaum, Marvel’s head of animation and streaming.
Because of a multiversal event, however, it is not Tony Stark who is waiting for Peter but Norman Osborne.
Cox Recorded His Lines For the Series Years Ago
When Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man was originally announced, Marvel revealed that Charlie Cox would be reprising his role as Daredevil in the series.
During a recent appearance at Fan Expo Boston 2024, Cox finally got a chance to discuss his work on the show. As it turns out, the actor actually recorded his lines for Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man when he was filming his scenes for She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.
“I went into the studio and did some voiceover for that a long time ago. Years ago, during when I was shooting She-Hulk, so I think that was 2021,” he explained (via ComicBook). “I’ve just seen a couple of scenes that I’ve voiced. And I haven’t even seen the scenes, I just saw the early drawings of it. That’s all I know.”
While Murdock may not be privy to the ins and outs of the upcoming Spider-Man series, he is happy that Daredevil is part of it.
“I haven’t seen any of it, I have no idea what the story is, but it’s cool. It’s cool that [Daredevil’s] in it. I’m excited about it.”
