Charlie Cox says he owes the rest of his career to the 'Save Daredevil' campaign.
From 2015 to 2018, Cox played Matt Murdock / Daredevil, a blind lawyer by day who fights criminals as a masked vigilante by night. Even though the series proved popular with fans, it was cancelled by Netflix after series three due to Disney acquiring the sole streaming rights to Marvel properties.
Following the cancellation, the term #SaveDaredevil began trending on social media.
It was believed that Daredevil, the show, was dead, but in 2022, an official reboot was announced titled Daredevil: Born Again.
Cox would subsequently make his return as the character in Marvel Cinematic Universe show, She-Hulk: Attorney At Law.
"There's so much I want to say," he told Marvel.com when asked if he had any tributes for the Save Daredevil campaign.
"Whatever happens to my career going forward from this point on, I owe most of it to the “Save Daredevil” campaign. That even when I had lost hope years ago, they did not, and they continued to campaign and support. And over the years, I've met many of them, and they're such an enthusiastic, passionate crowd.
"Daredevil is such an amazing character. It's been the great honor of my career to be offered that part and to be able to play him. I've had such fun with it. It's changed my life irrevocably. And when the show came to an end, despite the disappointment of the journey ending, I felt like we'd done a good job, and we had an amazing time and we could only be grateful for what we'd had."
