Daredevil Actors Charlie Cox & Vincent D’Onofrio to Return to Marvel in Echo

It has been announced that Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio will be returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in next year’s Echo series on Disney+.

Cox, who played Matt Murdock/Daredevil, and D’Onofrio, who played Wilson Fisk/Kingpin, were originally seen in Netflix’s Daredevil series. However, both would appear in more recent MCU works, with Cox’s Murdock having a cameo in Spider-Man: No Way Home, and D’Onofrio’s Fisk playing a major part in Disney+’s Hawkeye series.

Allegedly, Matt Murdock will be looking for a former ally during the series, whom The Weekly Planet podcast says is Jessica Jones — a fellow Netflix Marvel character originally played by Krysten Ritter. The two previously teamed up in Netflix’s The Defenders miniseries, so it’s not out of the question to say that the two could meet again.

This looks almost as violent as the Marvel Series at Netflix.  Not your usual Disney TV Series.
