There are ‘what ifs’, and then there’s whatever went on with Netflix’s Daredevil series.

They wanted him as Foggy, the role of Matt’s best friend that eventually went to Elden Henson.

Im only reading for the lead," Cox said.

From there, of course, the rest is history.

Now, Cox is set to put the mask back on once more for Daredevil: Born Again.

Daredevil: Born Again hits Disney Plus on March 4.
