“I love Charlie to bits. We did a play together on Broadway years ago.”
In 2019, the stage play “Betrayal” starred Charlie, Tom, and Zawe Ashton.
“I think Wolverine was in the original Avengers as far as I remember, so there’s some comic book history there,” he shared. “I’d have to dig my old comic books out and see what the storylines are.”
Cox previously headlined the successful Netflix series “Daredevil,” which garnered high praise as part of the DefenderVerse.
However, following Netflix’s decision to cancel all DefenderVerse shows in 2019, “Daredevil” was also suspended.
