8 Amazing Casting Choices In Marvel TV Shows

5) Charlie Cox – Matt Murdock/Daredevil

There have been many a controversial superhero casting over the years that have in fact turned out for the best. Michael Keaton, Robert Downey Jr., Grant Gustin, the list goes on. A more recent one, however, is the appointment of Charlie Cox as Marvel’s Man Without Fear, Daredevil. Once most known for family-friendly fantasy movie Stardust, Cox definitely did not seem the right fit for the Hornhead’s helmet at first glance. We should have trusted Marvel, though, because he turned out to be the perfect choice.

Daredevil is a series where the supporting characters (Punisher, Elektra, Fisk) often steal the show, but Cox’s Matt Murdock always remains its core. Through him, we get a believable portrayal of a religious, lawful man torn by his quest to become a violent vigilante. The British actor’s American accent might be a little bit shaky on some occasions, but Cox’s conviction to the role never fails.
