Spider-Man: No Way Home

By now , all the grounds points to Charlie Cox appear inSpider - Man :   No Way abode – but he ’ll likely appear as Matt Murdock , not temerarious , and here ’s why . The MCU Phase 4 is already shape up to look far different than the first three phases that saw   Marvel through the Infinity Gauntlet electric arc . With Marvel Television having been wave into the studio division and   Sony and Marvel having re - upped a new contract bridge , Marvel has far more fictional character to play with than they did before .

That will never be more discernible than with this year’sNo Way Home , which will dive late intothe MCU multiverse concept . Already , multiple characters from Sony ’s Spider - Man franchises have been support to be come out in the third MCU Spidey movie : J.K. Simmons , who was last seen in a post - credits scene inSpider - Man : Far From Home , will be recapitulate his function of J. Jonah Jameson , which he first played in Sam Raimi ’s Spider - Man trilogy . Also joining the movie from that trilogy isAlfred Molina ’s Doctor Octopus , and Jamie Foxx will be reprising his office of Electro from Sony’sAmazing Spider - Man 2 .

It ’s not just villains rumor to be returning , however . BothAndrew Garfield and Tobey Maguireare reportedly also   reprising their roles as Peter Parker / Spider - Man from their various movies , with each Spider - Man dealership being treated as an alternate cosmos . Though Andrew Garfield recently denied even getting a call from Marvel , considering the evidence , it ’s fair to   assume Marvel has him under one of its infamous NDAs and he ’s bluff his way out of disclose anything – even though , at this spot , it ’s been all but confirm considering leak set photos .

Lost in the excitation of all the Sony Spider - Man characters return , however , is the rumor that Charlie Cox would be reprize his role of Matt Murdock / Daredevil from Marvel ’s Netflix series , Daredevil . wonder in the conformation ofKevin Feigehas on a regular basis swing its historically vague hints that it would be capable to bringing back some of the Netflix characters . As always , Kevin Feige addressed the hearsay of Daredevil ’s returnas an open - ended hypothesis rather than a confirmation . The reports of Cox returning toNo Way Homewas the first moderately tangible evidence it might actually take place , further by the reports thatCharlie Cox had wrapped film onSpider - Man : No Way Home . However , even if Cox returns , it almost for certain wo n’t be as Daredevil , but only as Matt Murdock . Here ’s why it makes sense .

Peter Parker Won’t Run From Far From Home’s Murder Accusation

At the terminal ofSpider - Man :   Far From Home , Tom Holland ’s Peter Parker seemed to have won the day . However , as mentioned above , J. Jonah Jamesonappeared in a takeover video   outside Penn Station with   a touch on video by   Mysterio claiming Spider - Man was about to shoot down him . He also claimed Spider - Man was the one to call the drone attack and it was he , Mysterio , who cease it and save the day . After beam the video , JJJ follow it up   by incriminate Spider - Man of the slaying of Mysterio before unmask Peter Parker as the identity operator behind Spider - Man . There ’s virtually no fashion to avoid the fallout from the accusal for Peter .

stack of masses have speculated that the plot of the third picture show might involve Peter   going on the political campaign and trying to clear his name . It ’s a fair guess – after all , momentary superheroes going on the run was pretty much the theme of Phase 3 . But that theory does n’t make much sense if who Spider - Man is is truly deliberate . Peter ’s just a 16 - year - one-time kidskin ; he has no resources to go on the ladder . Further , he would n’t want to pain his Aunt May or his friends like MJ and Ned by just evaporate and leaving them to wonder , and it ’s not as though there are even many Avengers left who can help him . Plus , theMCU edition of   Spider - Manis still extremely naive . Plucky , optimistic Peter   would absolutely believe that if he just told the truth , the courts will see he was framed . It ’s a likelier termination that he ’d turn himself in and believe in the system to clear up the mistaking and get to the bottom of the faux   video .

Matt Murdock Spider-Man No Way Home

Matt Murdock Is The Best Lawyer To Represent Him

That means he ’ll need a lawyer : enter Matt Murdock . The dear grinder Spider - Man being accuse of murder is a gamy - profile compositor’s case , but neither Peter   nor Aunt May have a high - profile bank business relationship . Nor is Tony Stark around any longer to   bankroll his refutation with a sensation lawyer . That think whatever attorney agree to take his compositor’s case would have to be open to working very chintzily , or to do it pro bono – and there is no defence attorney in New York City who does safe pro bono work than Matt Murdock , Attorney - at - Law .

Peter Parker could get word of Matt Murdock ’s work and contact him , but   it very well could be that Matt is the one to seek out Peter and provide to guard him . It ’s unclear if Matt Murdock is still wait on in the function of Daredevil in the MCU , or if his character , exchangeable to the return Sony villains , is being treated by Marvel as an substitute universe rendering of Matt Murdock . However , it ’s impossible to imagine Matt Murdock would n’t be Daredevil wherever he is , and if that ’s the case , then the Devil of Hell ’s Kitchen would definitely know about Spider - Man and his exploits . Being a familiar vigilance man , and one who had been frame himself by Wilson Fisk and Benjamin Pointdexter , Daredevil   would have fellow feeling for Spider - Man ’s plight , especially once learning Spidey is   just a small fry . There ’s no beneficial fictional character to represent Spider - Man in a criminal tryout than Matt Murdock , who is unambiguously suitable to understand both the legal philosophy and the specific pressure sensation Peter Parker is facing as a superhero .   That ’s why it ’s likely that Charlie Cox will regress in his office as an attorney , not a superhero .

Why It’s Better To Have Matt Murdock, Not Daredevil, In Spider-Man 3

Granted , Charlie Cox appearing as Matt Murdock to defend Peter Parker in judicature does n’t completely rein out him suiting up as Daredevil at some point in the movie , especially not if , as it seems , Spider - Man will have multiple villains to fight . However , if he does , it will likely only be in brief in the third bit , not a major plot . But that ’s all right – better , even . Having Charlie Cox appear as Daredevil would further clutter an already packed moving-picture show . The Sony villains and Spider - military man returning , as exciting as it is , already threatens to undermine the grandness of the MCU Spider - Man and take the focus off Tom Holland . Throwing Daredevil into the mix would sure enough be chaos . As a few recent franchise IP blockbusters have shown , too much fan table service is n’t needfully a serious matter . It ’s overbold to apply Cox in a limited capacity now and thenDaredevil back   afterwards – for deterrent example , in the upcomingShe - Hulkseries .

bring in Matt Murdock in , not Daredevil , also allow Marvel to test integrating the Netflix characters into the MCU and formulate a uniform approach . It appear more and more that Marvel Studios is determined to make the non - Disney+ Marvel TV bear witness non - canon . So if Marvel does indeed resolve to fetch back role from the other TV series , then it needs to adjudicate how it wants to treat the in - creation continuity . Will these character all be conceive canonical to the principal MCU ? Will they be treated like the same character but from alternative macrocosm , allow Marvel to make tweaks ? Will each TV program be count its own alternate population , i.e. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.in one , the Netflix heroes in another , the Hulu and Freeform series another ? It ’s not worthrushing Charlie Cox ’s madcap into the MCUfor shallow fan service   if it means his return is build on a shaky narrative foot . Matt Murdock , but not Daredevil , appearing   inSpider - Man : No Way Home , makes the most sense with the storyFar From Homeset up and ensures a smoother integration back into the MCU .
