Daredevil star Charlie Cox has spoken about the possibility of Daredevil returning to the MCU, saying he didn't want to "taint" what had already been done with the character in the Netflix show of the same name.

There have been rumors that Cox's character could make an appearance in Spider-Man: No Way Home with the opening of the multiverse and the return of Marvel characters past like Alfred Molina's Doctor Octopus and J.K. Simmons' J. Jonah Jameson. However, those particular rumors have been put to bed – and Cox doesn't seem too keen for the character to come back to the MCU, either.

He added: "You’ve got to be careful what you wish for. You come back and it’s not as good or it doesn’t quite work or it’s too much time has passed. It doesn’t quite come together in the same way. You don’t want to taint what you’ve already got. If we never come back, you’ve got these three great seasons and our third season was our best-reviewed. So, the trajectory was up. I am tremendously proud and grateful for what we have."
