“And then he said,” Are you interested in returning? “They said: ‘It will be something in Spider-manprobably a cameo She-HulkAnd then we’ll see. ‘”

Since then, Cox has resumed its role Spider-Man: No Way Home, She-Hulk: LawyerAND Echo. Now, with Daredevil: born again Previewed on March 4th, he finally returned to the spotlight as the official DestaVil of the MCU.
