Charlie Cox on religion in Daredevil (Wizard World Pittsburgh, 11/6/16)

A fan at Wizard World Pittsburgh asks Charlie Cox a good question about the role of religion in Netflix's Daredevil during a Q&A panel. His reply is worth a listen.

Thank you for recording this particular question/answer. I've been wondering myself about it, and this is one of the highlights of the series/character for me, which BTW, I didn't even remember from the movie! I usually get annoyed or angry about Hollywood's portrayal of Catholicism/ Catholic characters, too cliche and cringe-worthy all the time. I find this one of what little I've seen, very refreshing and pretty accurate so far, or at least not that .

[@MrTechselect]

I agree. As a Catholic myself I find parallels with Matt's character and how he handles faith with my own struggles with faith. I just absolutely loved the conversations Matt has with Father Lantom who is played amazingly well. He was one of the characters I missed in S2. Also, Drew Goddard who is the creator of the show is himself catholic so he was keen that the show try to avoid the stereotypes.

Sorry! We didn't record the whole panel. (Glad you appreciate the quality though.) If you're interested, there's a teensy bit more info in an article we published on the panel: cultspark.com/2016/11/07/wizard-world-pittsburgh-notes-daredevil-panel/

"No one knows the answer to that" he says but we know what Uncle Ben and Aunt May said. We all know what the answer is.

I hope somehow mcu disney's daredevil reboot season 4 still make a correlation with the first 3 seasons which are in netflix so people have to watch the first 3 seasons first bcz this show is freakin mental good

@@priyac7054 not yet. Too many people are just now hoping on the bandwagon but don't understand the character yet, plus a majority of the fan base is wondering whether or not he gets a show and IF it will continue the Netflix story, Mature or not

[@priyac7054]

@@SecondAftermath it's going to be a movie not a Disney +series, MCU is definitely going darker if moon knight is any indication

[@SecondAftermath]

@@priyac7054 There's been no indication aside from a sort of brutal werewolf beat down in the trailer that Moon knight will be as dark and brutal as Daredevil and plus rumors and even Kevin Feige giving the green light for the show's fourth season on Disney plus before a movie

[@summerrose8110]

Why are the Marvel shows cancelled, but the CW Flash is ongoing? It makes no sense. I'm glad Matt didn't become the Punisher in season 2, he almost did. And as for Punisher, that annoying, cringe, hypocritical twat Amy from season 2 ruins the show for me.

[@HatCreature]

It's a damn tragedy the Netflix shows got cancelled, they were all really good for the most part. It looks like they're slowly bringing them back but it'll be under Disney's terms so it probably won't feel the same. CW is just a cesspool, the shows used to be decent but they've all changed to be agenda machines.

[@Sousabird]

I'd rather 3 strong seasons than watch it go to seed

[@cumbermarywho300]

Love Charlie ❤️

[@TheStephrules]

I think I know the movie Charlie was talking about and if it is the movie that I think he is talking about then he was actually the only good thing about the movie

[@jameshaggerty8348]

I feel like The MCU, is going to go in a direction like this. Can Matt Murdock be daredevil and be happy at the same time? That’s a good way to bring him out of the darkness and into the light. He doesn’t have to be gritty or bloody to be a hero. Perhaps an Avenger will help him with that. Like Barnes or Wilson? Becoming a better symbol in the light.

[@theguy5597]

thats like saying can deadpool be non-violent and serious, or he doesn't have to be that violent or goofy all the time. doing what you're saying would destroy what the amazing writers of the show have built when the show was still active

[@eero3698]

If Matt is happy and Daredevil at the same time would be a mistake. It's like making Spiderman with no problems, and super cool or something like that. Wouldn't make sense. Suffering and darkness is part of Daredevil.

[@jameshaggerty8348]

@@eero3698 Thats true. Also keep in mind that Daredevil didn’t originally start as dark and suffering. Frank Miller made him like that. I’m under the impression that they’re going down the Mark Waid route.

[@eero3698]

@@jameshaggerty8348 true, but Frank Miller also put emphasis on Daredevil's religion. I'm not catholic, but I know suffering it's part of catholicism. Also, now Daredevil can be partner with spiderman, who also is a character that has live a lot of bad situations in comics. About Daredevil doesn't being bloody, I don't think it doesn't mean he's not the best symbol of light. He has his own code. For example, he doesn't kill, but that doesn't mean he can't beat the crap out of his enemies.
