Why Daredevil Is the Key to Spider-Man’s Future

Out of all the projects Marvel discussed at San Diego Comic-Con this year, the one we’re most excited for is Spider-Man: Freshman Year, a new animated series set in Peter Parker’s earliest days as the Friendly Neighborhood Wall-Crawler. One of the more interesting aspects of the show is the fact that Charlie Cox will reprise his role as Daredevil in the series.

But what Daredevil will we see? Is this the same guy we saw in the MCU’s Daredevil TV show and Spider-Man: No Way Home? And how does he fit into what we know about the show’s premise (which takes place in a variant reality where Norman Osborn, rather than Tony Stark, becomes the mentor to the young Peter Parker)? That’s the subject of our latest Marvel video, which explores Daredevil’s return to the MCU, examines what we know so far about Spider-Man: Freshman Year, and tosses out a few theories about what we’ll see from Cox’s Daredevil in his upcoming series Born Again and maybe even in the next Spider-Man movie. Watch it below:
