Avengers: Infinity War - 10 Surprise Cameos That Could Still Happen

6. Daredevil

Daredevil Defenders
Netflix

Further to Karen's potential cameo in Infinity War, that Lego set may yet have given us another clue that Daredevil will appear in the film. Marvel have played down rumours that their Netflix properties would ever intersect with their films, but again, it wouldn't be a difficult cameo to incorporate.

Matt Murdock might be presumed dead by the time The Defenders ended, but he's alive and well in its closing frames, although perhaps reluctant to don the red and black outfit too quickly. He still hasn't returned by the time of Marvel's The Punisher, and while New York isn't exactly short on vigilantes, his absence looks to have been felt by the city, with the aforementioned headline in that Lego set mentioning that 'Crime Floods the Streets' with a big picture of Daredevil there too.

Could Infinity War be the vehicle for Matt Murdock to mount his return? Perhaps not, but it would be a nice nod towards the Netflix side of things if a red figure were seen fighting some of Thanos' minions in Hell's Kitchen, especially since those film-to-TV connections have become something of a one-way street in recent years.

Some reciprocal love for the Netflix side of things from the films wouldn't go amiss, and if Daredevil's the man to make it happen, then Infinity War will only be better for it.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
