Recently, we spoke with actor Charlie Cox about his new film “King of Thieves,” which reunites him with his “The Theory of Everything” director James Marsh. He discussed working with the outstanding cast led by Michael Caine, “Mindhunter” screenwriter Joe Penhall‘s subversive script, the privilege of working in prestige television, and, of course, all things “Daredevil.”
For those that have been living under a rock over the last three months, one of Netflix’s most successful and critically acclaimed shows, “Daredevil,” was inexplicably canceled. Whether or not Disney’s new streaming service Disney+ factored into that decision remains to be seen.
Running for three seasons, “Daredevil” starred Cox as the titular character. Its third and, for now, the final season just won the Golden Tomato for the best-review superhero show of 2018 on Rotten Tomatoes, with a critic score of 96%. Fans, critics, and cast members alike were shocked by the show’s cancellation, and fans have since created a petition coined #SaveDaredevil to bring the show back on Netflix, which has garnered over 200,000 signatures and counting.
In part two of the interview with Cox, he talks about his reaction to the news of “Daredevil” being axed, signing the petition incognito, and the future of the character in the MCU. Here’s where our conversation picks up from yesterday’s part-one interview here.
Many people, myself included, were disappointed by “Daredevil’s cancellation.
Have you signed the petition?
Yes. I did this morning.
Oh, did you? I just found out about it the other day. My mom told me.
How about you? Have you had the chance to sign it yet?
I wasn’t sure about adding my email because I’m not very technically savvy, and I didn’t want to suddenly put my email online; I don’t know if it was visible or not. But what I did do is I made a fake email for my two-year-old daughter, and she signed it [laughter].
