Charlie Cox Reveals Why Daredevil and Kingpin Won’t Share the Screen that Much in ‘Daredevil: Born Again’

Daredevil: Born Again is one of the most anticipated series of 2025, as Marvel fans eagerly await the return of Charlie Cox’s superhero in a major role—not just brief cameos like in previous MCU films. The buzz surrounding the show is huge, and we’re just as excited for its premiere.

In the meantime, we’ve been covering various rumors and official updates from the cast and crew. In this report, we’re diving into an interview Charlie Cox gave to Collider, where he shared an intriguing detail about the show.

While the series promises another intense conflict between Daredevil and his archenemy, Kingpin, Cox revealed something surprising: the two won’t be sharing much screen time. Given their longstanding rivalry, this revelation adds an interesting twist to the upcoming storyline.

As mentioned, Daredevil: Born Again will continue the intense rivalry between Daredevil and Kingpin, who remain the show’s central characters.

While the series will also explore other storylines and characters, the spotlight will stay on the dynamic between these two adversaries, as expected. Previous comments from cast and crew have hinted at a new dynamic between them, with Daredevil being pushed to his breaking point in the upcoming season, which is certainly thrilling.

However, according to the Collider interview, it seems Daredevil may be pushed to his limits by someone other than Kingpin, or Kingpin might do so in a more subtle, manipulative way. Why? Based on Charlie Cox’s comments, Daredevil and Kingpin won’t be sharing much screen time, which adds an unexpected twist to their iconic rivalry.

“With these characters, you have to always feel like, were they to cross paths, they would fight to the death… it would be hugely explosive. So, you have to, in the writing of a show, in the construction of it, you have to limit the amount of time they can be together or you have to give them real reason for them not to be together.”

With this in mind, it’s hard not to wonder how the relationship between Daredevil and Kingpin will evolve in the upcoming series, set to premiere next year. It seems things will take a significant turn, as Charlie Cox confirmed that the two will form a “loose truce” in Born Again. It’ll be fascinating to see why this truce happens and how it impacts their rivalry moving forward!
