Spider-Man: No Way Homelead Tom Holland has at last opened up about one of the many surprise cameos featured in the epic MCU outing. Namely, the return ofNetflix’sDaredevilstar Charlie Cox, who appears in the movie as alter ego Matt Murdock to help Holland’s Peter Parker out of a legal jam. In a discussion withMarvel.com, Holland described working with Cox as “tho,” and loved teaming up with another superhero in a more down-to-earth style scene.
“We had so much fun working with Charlie. It’s really interesting doing a scene between two Super Heroes that has no real Super Hero stuff in it. Apart from the bit when he catches the brick. It was awesome.”
While the scene does not include MJ, Zendaya revealed that she had been present on set to watch events unfold adding, “I didn’t get to be there….I was there for the behind-the-scenes watching you guys. But I didn’t get to be in it.” Holland clearly loved the opportunity to work with theDaredevilstar concluding, “But it was great. I loved working with Charlie.”
There have been rumors surrounding Charlie Cox’s role inSpider-Man: No Way Homefor some time now, with the cameo in question featuring Cox sharing the screen with Holland’s Peter Parker, as well as Aunt May and Happy Hogan. Holland had teased Cox’s triumphant return in the past, and while he played coy, many guessed that it would include Matt Murdock. “It’s four people sitting at a table, having a conversation about what it’s like to be a superhero, and it was amazing,” Holland said. “The other day we watched the scene, my brother and I, and our jaws were on the floor.” No doubt many audience members had the same reaction.
Like so many other stars ofSpider-Man: No Way Home,Charlie Coxhas denied his involvement multiple times over the past several months. “I hadn’t heard those rumors, but it’s certainly not with my Daredevil. I’m not involved in it,” Cox said of his rumored involvement back in September. “If that’s true, it’s not with me. It’s with another actor. As a fan of the Marvel movies, I’ve loved the little stuff where they pop up here and there but because we were on Netflix, we weren’t able to do as much for legal reasons, I don’t know why. But I love the idea of Jessica and Matt showing up in the background or Matt as a lawyer advising Peter Parker. That’d be really, really cool.” It’s likely that no one will ever believe another word he says.
Charlie Cox’s comeback also gives weight to other Daredevil-related rumors that have been floating around,including the recent leakwhich allegedly reveals a casting grid confirming that a Marvel Daredevil project is indeed now in early development.
Spider-Man: No Way Homefinds Peter Parker asking Doctor Strange to help make his identity as Spider-Man a secret following its public revelation, which leads to the multiverse being unleashed, and was released on July 14, 2025.
