6 Ways Daredevil Could Return In The MCU

2. A Big Screen Cameo

Even though all three seasons of Daredevil were spectacular, there was one issue Marvel fans just couldn't seem to get over - the lack of any tangible connections to the MCU on the big screen.

Of course, the show itself couldn't really do much about this; relations between Marvel Studios and Marvel TV have been fractious for a while now, and though the TV series did occasionally make reference to the MCU, whether by calling back to the Battle of New York or to Ultron's Sokovian catastrophe, meaningful connections were nowhere to be found, either on the small screen, or on the big.

Which is why it's so fitting that, if Daredevil is to continue, his destiny should lie on the big screen. Fans have been calling for the character to star opposite the Avengers for years now, with actors Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio speaking fondly of their desire to see Daredevil join up with Black Widow, and Kingpin to face off with Spider-Man respectively.

And really, this is where the Man without Fear and his supporting cast belong. No one's denying the magic his TV show conjured, but if this truly is the end for the character on the small screen, then Marvel must surely realise just how strong a following the hero has, and bring him onto the MCU in one way or another.

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.
