Charlie Cox has pushed back on speculation that Daredevil appears in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, telling a fan-site interviewer at New York Comic Con that he is “not in Spider-Man” and isn’t filming in London despite social posts that suggested otherwise. The exchange, captured on video, follows weeks of online chatter tying the street-level hero to Tom Holland’s fourth outing after a moment on stage was interpreted as a slip. Cox reiterated the denial when pressed, adding that he is focused on his own series.
Rumors gained traction because Matt Murdock briefly appeared opposite Peter Parker in No Way Home and because Marvel’s street-level corner is active again on both film and streaming. The new Spider-Man movie is dated for July 31, 2026, with Destin Daniel Cretton directing, while Daredevil: Born Again returns on Disney+ in early 2026, creating a neat calendar proximity that fans read as a possible crossover window. Studio listings still frame Brand New Day as a Holland-led feature, with no official confirmation of Daredevil.
Other connective tissue is real. Jon Bernthal is set to reprise Frank Castle in Brand New Day, bringing a character introduced in Daredevil’s Netflix era into Holland’s film and reinforcing the shared New York crime canvas that links Spider-Man to vigilantes and kingpins. That casting, confirmed over the summer, has fueled theorizing about additional street-level cameos even as principals demur.
Production headlines have kept the project in the news independent of cameos. Filming paused briefly in September after Holland sustained a mild concussion during a stunt sequence before resuming on schedule, and shooting has continued in the U.K. ahead of the 2026 release. Against that backdrop, Cox’s comments aim to reset expectations: enthusiasm for a team-up remains high, but the actor says this film is not where it happens.
