Charlie Cox's 'Daredevil' contract includes movie opportunity

Marvel Universe(WENN) — TV 'Daredevil' Charlie Cox is keeping his fingers crossed for the opportunity to reprise his blind superhero character in a future Marvel movie.
The actor portrays attorney Matt Murdock and his vigilante alter ego in the popular Netflix series, which is currently in its second season, and the character is rumored to be involved in the forthcoming two-part blockbuster "Avengers: Infinity War."

Cox admits he would love the chance to star alongside the likes of Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man and Chris Evans as Captain America, especially as his Marvel contract includes the possibility of inclusion in future movie projects.
"When I signed the contract for the show, I signed multiple years for 'Daredevil' and, of course, (team-up series) 'The Defenders' - and in that package there was the opportunity to be involved in the movies," he confirmed at a Netflix event in Paris on Monday, according to DigitalSpy.com.

However, Cox reveals he has yet to hear from Marvel movie executives: "It would be great if that was to happen - it'd be wonderful - who wouldn't want to be in the biggest grossing movie of all time?" he smiled. "But none of those discussions have happened - certainly not with me."
Ben Affleck previously brought 'Daredevil' to life on the big screen in a critically-panned standalone movie in 2003. Ironically, Affleck has since been cast as rival comic book character Batman, making his debut as the Caped Crusader in 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.'
