(Cox has also been asked repeatedly if he will appear in the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which he has consistently denied.)<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Now, Cox has given his most concrete denial yet \u2014 and said that Marvel itself had been clear with him that its focus on Daredevil will remain the Disney+ series, which is currently shooting its third season.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;Marvel have kind of been clear with me, for now at least, that I&#8217;m focusing on the show,&#8221; Cox said. &#8220;That&#8217;s our focus. That really is the truth.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">&#8220;It&#8217;s one of the things that, obviously, the fans of the MCU love it when the characters kind of clash,&#8221; he continued, &#8220;so we&#8217;ll see, but right now I&#8217;m certainly focused on our show.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><button type=\"button\" style=\"display:none\" class=\"jsx-2228525885\"\/><span data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-preview\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-1085005187\" data-cy=\"slideshow-preview-title\">The Most Surprising Avengers and Marvel Characters Not Announced for Doomsday<\/h3>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-images-container\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" data-cy=\"hero-image\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-1711207865 hero-image\"><img alt=\"Despite five hours of streamed casting announcements, there are still several characters and actors fans are surprised won\u2019t be in Avengers: Doomsday. &#10;&lt;br&gt;&#10;&lt;br&gt;&#10;Some we knew about \u2013 such as Elizabeth Olsen\u2019s Scarlet Witch and Benedict Cumberbatch\u2019s Doctor Strange \u2013 but the following omissions are notable given the cosmic cross-over nature of what\u2019s shaping up to be an Avengers, X-Men and Fantastic Four cinematic extravaganza.&#10;\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-2021719738 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-2605834259 jsx-2338608387 hover-opacity\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><span class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button button--primary jsx-3381835873 jsx-4266531355 row-pagination-button next contained centered round large\" data-cy=\"paginate next\" title=\"Open Slideshow\"><span class=\"ign-icon right-chevron jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"right-chevron\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/RightChevron.272be43c.svg?cors=1) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"\/><\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/output><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">It&#8217;s a stance that perhaps makes sense, as Daredevil: Born Again is used as a launch pad for a growing street level MCU, with characters such as The Punisher, Jessica Jones, and what appears to be more of the Netflix-era Defenders all already part of the series or coming in its upcoming third season. But it&#8217;s also a future that has recently been called into question, amid a drop in viewing figures for Born Again&#8217;s latest run.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">For now, or perhaps because fewer people are watching, Marvel seems keen that Daredevil remains in his own corner of the MCU, separate from the Avengers-level drama we&#8217;re set to see in Doomsday. But this also makes sense, considering the huge army of superheroes already confirmed to take the big screen. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Still, while Cox is seemingly ruling out an imminent return in Doomsday, could he somehow sneak in a cameo in Secret Wars? This would allow him to be telling the truth that Born Again is his current focus, with a small role in Secret Wars likely not due to be filmed until later this year, or next. Time will tell \u2014 though for now, it really does sound like the devil is remaining in Hell&#8217;s Kitchen.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><em>Tom Phillips is IGN&#8217;s News Editor.
