Kevin Feige in an interview with Cinemablend confirmed the news and said, “If you were to see Daredevil in upcoming things, Charlie Cox, yes, would be the actor playing Daredevil.” He added, “Where we see that, how we see that, when we see that, remains to be seen.”  While fans have been coming up with their own theories ever since the ‘Daredevil’ series ended, this was the first time when Feige commented on the casting following a massive fan movement.
