My Take
Charlie Cox is my favorite kind of leading man: one who builds a hero from restraint. Daredevil could have been a gimmick, a blind vigilante in a red suit, but Cox grounded Matt Murdock in guilt, faith, and physical exhaustion, making him the most human figure in the Marvel machine. His earlier turns in Boardwalk Empire and The Theory of Everything showed the same quality: he serves the scene rather than stealing it. That fans campaigned for years until Born Again brought him back says everything. I trust him to make even pulp feel sincere, and that is a rare skill.
