Fan Wishes Granted — Marvel Confirms Charlie Cox to Return as Daredevil

After Daredevil was canceled after a three-season run, it looked as if Charlie Cox’s time playing the blind lawyer-turned-reluctant-superhero Matt Murdock had run out. Until now.

Disney Marvel boss Kevin Feige confirmed that the superhero would return to the MCU in an early December interview with CinemaBlend. This marks Daredevil’s first confirmed progress since Disney+ reacquired the show’s right from Netflix in November 2020. A fourth season got the nod, granting the masked man’s many fans. Though Cox’s role in the new season has been confirmed, there is no specific project yet in the works.

 “If you were to see Daredevil in upcoming things, Charlie Cox, yes, would be the actor playing Daredevil,” Feige said. “Where we see that how we see that, when we see that, remains to be seen.”

Fans are over the moon with the news. After the interview’s publication, theories immediately began flying as to where the red-horned vigilante may appear next. Because the rights to Daredevil are in Disney+’s hands, rumors are flying that Cox-as-Murdock could make an appearance in deeply-shrouded Spider-Man: No Way Home, arriving in tandem with Daredevil’s nemesis, the big bad Kingpin.

With Vincent D’Onofrio also making a return as Kingpin, fans are left wondering when the boss might appear after hints that he’ll show up in the new Disney+ “Hawkeye” series. With four episodes left, there’s plenty of room for Murdock to punch his way into the action, joining with the Hawk and his mentor to take on the Russian mob and whatever crime lords they may be connected to. 

While audiences may be geeked, Cox wants to take a thoughtful approach to Daredevil’s reemergence. There’s reassurance there because the creative team who brought him to life three years ago won’t be the same. During an October YouTube interview with The Pop Culture Spotlight on SiriusXM, the 38-year-old actor wanted to make sure that Devil of Hell’s Kitchen maintains what creators made over three superb seasons, from 2015 to 2018. 

“You don’t want to taint what you’ve already got,” he explained. “If we never come back, you’ve got these three great seasons — and our third season was our best-reviewed. So, the trajectory was up. I am tremendously proud and grateful for what we have.”

If the show lives up to any of 2021’s Marvel Universe work under Disney+, including the aforementioned Hawkeye, WandaVision, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and Loki, there shouldn’t be any cause for concern. 

The Man Without Fear is back. Where we see him next, remains to be seen.

The Night Agent season 2: Everything we know so far
We'll get you ready for The Night Agent season 2!

The Night Agent may not be everyone's choice to be among the best shows on Netflix, but it's in the top ten for us! The Shield creator Shawn Ryan adapted Matthew Quirk's spy action thriller, The Night Agent, for Netflix in 2023, and it proved to be a hit out of the gate. By Netflix's internal metrics, it's the sixth-highest viewed series in the history of the platform.

Those kind of numbers mean that a second season was inevitable, and Netflix made it official just over a week after The Night Agent premiered. Since the series is back in production, the details about what's coming up on the show have started to trickle out. To help you stay on top of this series, here's everything we know about The Night Agent season 2.

The 10 best Dominican cigars I’ve tried and tested in 2024
Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic.

Every seasoned cigar lover has a preference for where their cigars come from. Cuban and Cuban cigars are the more obvious choices, but there is also Nicaraguan tobacco, Central African, Indonesian, Mexican, Ecuadorian, and Dominican. Some tobacco is even grown in the United States. Each region has a distinct flavor profile that adds a little something extra to the tobacco grown locally, as well as the cigars made there. The Dominican Republic is prized by many connoisseurs because of exactly this -- a rich, unique profile that enhances Dominican-grown cigars. That's in no small part due to the fertile soil and thriving climate of the region, which is ideal for tobacco growth and cultivation. If you've never tried a Dominican cigar, you're in for a real treat, there are some fantastic options out there.

Out of all the cigar guides I've put together so far, this one was one of the more interesting experiences for me. I had a great time trying out Dominican cigars, and I've definitely come away with an appreciation for blends made in the region. I'd also like to point out that Corey Suarez helped recommend some of these. If you haven't tried the JR Cigars or Cigars.com concierge service yet, you really should.

The 12 best Connecticut cigars I’ve tried and tested in 2024
Best Connecticut cigars up close and personal

Connecticut cigars are the clear winner for smoking on a hot summer day, in the morning with some coffee, or when you just don't want a swift kick in the teeth (of pepper). There's no shortage of options, either. Connecticut shade wrappers are one of the most prevalent in the world of cigars, and it's certainly the most common natural shade. Maduro is also popular, but the two wrapper types couldn't be any more different. Connecticut wrappers, and by proxy Connecticut cigars, are typically mild to medium in strength and brimming with creamy, smooth flavors. They're composed of tobacco leaves grown in the Connecticut River Valley in the United States -- which is where the name Connecticut comes from. Consistent and flavorful, some of the best beginner-friendly cigars are Connecticut-wrapped, but you should never sell them short. A Connecticut shade cigar can be just as refined, elegant, and premium as any other. If you know where to look, you may even find some of your favorite blends in the category across a wide range of brands and cigar makers.

I'm about to take you on a magical, doughy, and delicious trek through the broad range of Connecticut cigars. In short, here are the best Connecticut cigars tried and tested by a genuine enthusiast of the craft: yours truly.
The best Connecticut cigars I've tried and tested
While the Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper is considered a Connecticut shade, I did my best to steer clear of recommending them for this list. They're better classified as a Maduro shade or darker cigar. That doesn't mean you should avoid them, quite the contrary. But for this list, I wanted to stick to smooth, relaxing smokes that are strong on flavor but not quite so strong on pepper and spice. I also tried not to choose a lot of repeats. If you see your favorite cigar missing, that might be because it was recommended on another list or it just didn't make the cut. If you have any recommendations of your own, I'm always available through social media or email. Without further ado, let's get this thing started.
