As usual, I find something else I didn’t hear/see/whatever with Charlie. This time it’s Charlie with his DAREDEVIL co-star Deborah Ann Woll (Karen Page) with Erik Nagel on his Youtube channel. Another amazing interview with Charlie in that I could listen to this guy’s voice all the livelong day and not get tired. I love the interplay with Deborah and their shared approach to acting. Please give it a listen.
As I’ve been want to do in the past week since I began building this site, I’ve been watching as many videos as I can with Charlie to bring them here. One of the ones I just got through with was with Yesterdays Wishes on Youtube. The girl who has the channel is the Digital Ambassador for Living Paintings, a site that brings digital content to the visually impaired. This interview with Charlie not only shows his charmingly adorable side, but his innate humanity as he addresses the aspect of being visually impaired. I know all about this personally through my late mother who suffered from Centre Vision Macular Degeneration for the last twenty-five years of her life. Watching as Charlie was so engaging with Lucy shows I think what I’ve come to love about Charlie. How he’s not only engaging, but interested in what you’re saying and the work he’s done to make the Matt Murdock side of the character so realistic and believable. This interview was just quite a find. I was delighted to sit through it, though I wish it were longer. Charlie has one of those personalities you just want to sit and just listen to forever. Thank you Charlie for how wonderful and magnanimous you are.
While searching the Youtubes for stuff on Charlie, I found this long interview with Rajeev Masand where Charlie talks about Matt Murdock’s flaws, his love life and his hope for THE DEFENDERS. This is a really cool interview with Charlie and he shows how truly sweet he is. I loved Charlie’s reaction to what Rajeev said about the discussion on message boards about whether Charlie really is blind. Charlie’s candor with regards to the question about religion is quite a humble thing on his behalf, as well as his admission to being a private person and not having all the social media stuff. It is for that reason this site will respect Charlie’s privacy and not post any photos of him in his private life. He’s allowed that, I feel. The other thing I found very cute was his telling about being an Englishman in New York. I’m thinking a Sting song at this moment, though I know that’s about being an illegal alien. Same thing. Here’s the interview.
Here is a video where Charlie talks to Entertainment Weekly. Charlie talks about season two of DAREDEVIL and Matt’s arrogance at believing only he can do what he’s doing. He also talks about Matt’s need to protect those he loves.
Charlie has stated there is still not talk about the possibility of him taking Matt/Daredevil onto the big screen. Personally given the success of the show, I’d say Marvel would be insane not to transfer Charlie and the other actors into the larger cinematic universe. I mean you have Deborah Ann Woll (Karen Page) and her background with True Blood, then Elden Henson (Foggy Nelson) and his success with the Hunger Games films, then you have Elodie Yung (Elektra Nachios) and her big screen presence already established, then there’s both Ayelot Zuerer (Vanessa Marianna) and Vincent D’Onofrio (Wilson Fisk) and their big screen successes, and who can’t believe that Jon Bernthal (Frank Castle/Punisher) aren’t big screen worthy? The entire cast and show are ready to make that transition. The show is that good. So come on Marvel, let’s bring Deredevil into that pantheon of our Earth’s Greatest Heroes.
Daredevil won’t show up in a Marvel movie, says actor Charlie Cox
The British actor says there has been “no conversation” about making the leap from Netflix to movies such as the upcoming “Captain America: Civil War”.
It doesn’t look as though Daredevil or any of Marvel’s TV heroes will show up in the comic book giant’s movies anytime soon. With “Captain America: Civil War” uniting a vast cast of big-screen heroes in just a matter of weeks, “Daredevil” star Charlie Cox has ruled out an appearance.
“There was no conversation about joining any of the movies,” the British star said, adding that he would jump at the chance to appear in a Marvel movie. “Who wouldn’t want to be in the highest-grossing film of all time?”
“Civil War” is already stuffed to bursting with Marvel heroes, as Captain America and Iron Man lead opposing factions into a superpowered dust-up. New faces include Black Panther and a new version of Spider-Man, so adding Daredevil into the mix might be a bit much. Still, we’ve got a lot of love for Daredevil and his pals on Netflix, and it would be fun to have the small-screen superheroes stretch their superpowers on the big screen at some point.
Cox was speaking on stage at a showcase event here in Paris held by Netflix, the streaming service that produces “Daredevil”. Netflix executives and actors from its shows are in France to spotlight new productions, including the company’s first French and British shows.
“Daredevil” was the first of four Netflix shows to feature a Marvel hero, followed by “Jessica Jones” which debuted last year, “Luke Cage”, which is due in September, and “Iron Fist”, which is currently in production. Once all four have aired, the heroes will unite as super-team The Defenders in an eponymous mini-series, also on Netflix.
Unless he shows up in “Luke Cage” or “Iron Fist” — and with an appearance in “Civil War” apparently ruled out — “The Defenders” will be the next time we’ll see Cox in costume, as the miniseries will arrive before series three of “Daredevil”.
Cox describes the various Marvel-Netflix series as “very different shows…I’m interested to know how tonally they will become one.”
