With Dardevil renewed for a second season, Charlie Cox will soon be donning the horns once again as Matt Murdock for the Netflix superhero show, and the actor has been talking to IGN about the new showrunners Doug Petri and Marc Ramirez, as well as which characters we might expect to see when the series returns next year.
“The show has had such a great response that I imagine we’ll be wanting to stick in that world and tonally feel we’re in the same universe,” said Cox when asked if the change in showrunners could alter the tone. “It’s very hard to know – when you’ve got a writer’s room and a showrunner it’s very hard to know who’s influencing the dialogue. Who’s influencing the structure of the scripts, the tone of it. I imagine it’s very much a collaborative process.”

As for which characters he’d like to see appearing in season two, Cox said: “I think in our show we’re more likely to see the likes of Bullseye, The Punisher and Elektra. “I don’t know if any of those characters will appear, and also I don’t know what’s going to happen with Wilson Fisk. He’s certainly not out of the picture. Hopefully he’ll come back.”
And how about the continued evolution of Daredevil’s costume? “As people who have seen the show will know, we do get to the more recognisable classic red suit by the end of the series, But at this point we don’t have the ‘DD’ on the chest so maybe that’s something that will evolve with this suit as we go further along the line. Maybe he’ll decide to get that printed on!”
