These questions are basically, “Do you want another job in a profile movie and we will pay you more money?” I mean, who says no, other than those that have leverage to demand money for an appearance?
Eastern_Hornet_64322025-09-22 00:00
The New Avengers (or Avengerz, or Thunderbolts, or whatever we're gonna end up calling them) make more sense for Daredevil than the OG Avengers, as he's closer to the average power level on the team than he would be on a team with Thor, Hulk, Iron Man, Scarlet Witch, etc. Yes, there's Sentry, but his drawback is so severe that it kinda evens out - in most situations, you would rather send Daredevil to handle a problem if possible, rather than send Sentry and risk him triggering a depressive episode that might, I dunno, destroy the world?
In the comics, DD also has extensive history with Black Widow, which I assume would be changed to being with Yelena. Since his current girlfriend just went MNYGA and all.
I would also dearly LOVE to see DD tangle with USAgent. I'm not sure why USAgent specifically, since Red Guardian and Bucky are also on the team and have similar powers, but I just get the impression that it would be an absolute barnstormer.

Yeah these "actor wants to act" posts are always nothing burgers IMO
Subject-Ad50712025-09-22 00:06
I like hearing these to see which characters and movies they’re interested in. I don’t care for Echo, but it’s a little bit interesting she wants to fight Green Goblin when she could just go for put me in Daredevil just because it’s busting.
Charlie Cox could say he wants to be an Avengers instead or be in Spider-Man. 2 properties more well known and profitable than New Avengers, btw.
Tachibanasama2025-09-22 01:15
Not necessarily 100% true, for example Jon doesn't just wanna appear as punisher for appearance sake he values how his character is used. I'm sure these actors like Charlie want more appearances and more money of course, but being invested in a character they played for a decade they probably do want to crossover with the wider universe as fans themselves.
WithArsenicSauce2025-09-22 01:30
Redditors love to repeat this any time an actor says anything about potentially being in a project. Obviously money is a part of it, but actors also enjoy acting and most get creatively excited about the prospect of working in different environments/projects/genres/styles/etc.

Champing.
The phrase is “*champing* at the bit”.

[Both are correct.](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/champing%20at%20the%20bit )
EDIT: mf gets confronted with a link to the dictionary and downvotes lol
mvrander2025-09-22 08:38
Only because people have been getting it wrong for so long that they both became used. Language evolving with usage
Same with card sharp/shark
zdbdog062025-09-22 11:29
Exactly they changed it because everyone gets it wrong instead of just correcting them
SeriousButton62632025-09-22 21:03
If that bothers anyone, then they better start speaking in perfect Old English and never use a single word added to modern English because of common use.
Or, for those pedantic people: If such doth vex any soul, then let them utter forth naught but flawless Old English, eschewing any word born of common tongue and added to the modern parlance.
Eastern_Hornet_64322025-09-22 00:12
Don't they mean the same thing, though?
MechaNickzilla2025-09-22 00:59
Olde English is the best English!!!
_jackychain2025-09-21 23:45
I genuinely don’t understand the reason why they would bring in the defenders characters and not incorporate them into the large movies. It’s great punishers in BND, but uh, why isn’t daredevil in doomsday?
GodFlintstone2025-09-21 23:52
There's also comic book precedent for it.
Brian Michael Bendis' New Avengers run initially had Daredevil and Luke Cage in the line-up with both Jessica Jones and Iron Fist joining up later. Strangely it worked.
Probably one of my all time favorite runs.
wharpua2025-09-22 01:36
That New Avengers run was great, Bendis pulled Wolverine and Spidey onto the team, too
thebluediablo2025-09-24 23:24
That series was worth it for the Wolverine/Aunt May interactions alone.
Nishachor2025-09-22 13:08
Luke Cage was basically running the New Avengers since Civil War.
JayZsAdoptedSon2025-09-22 17:55
Daredevil rejected being in the team, he was only part of the initial prison escape
GodFlintstone2025-09-22 17:56
Iirc he did actually rejoin the team for awhile several issues later.
JayZsAdoptedSon2025-09-22 21:29
Do you recall when? From what I remember, the only connection was Maya as Ronin
Because of the Bendis run’s status quo, I remember him rejecting the offer and being VERY distant from the other heroes for a year
Crimkam2025-09-21 23:57
A lower budget section of marvel movies that use street level characters like the defenders and much more limited cgi would be great for the MCU
cwatson2142025-09-22 14:57
It would be great for fans, but the studio isn't spending that money. They are making blockbusters first, and maybe shows, but Disney won't spend any money on mid-level, direct to streaming movies any more (and yes, I understand the irony as a kid growing up in the 90s)
Crimkam2025-09-23 05:37
I meant mid budget theatrical release movies. Something along the lines of Nobody or Monkey Man, or even Beekeeper. If they could make a 90-100 minute Daredevil or Luke Cage or whatever other hero movie for \~40-50 million I think they'd get a decent return in theaters without the need to break 800 million or some ridiculous number just to be considered a success
Eastern_Hornet_64322025-09-22 00:08
Narratively, there's no reason he WOULD get involved. Nobody in the Avengers OR Thunderbolts is gonna be like "oh, a dimensional incursion, we better call that street-level hero none of us has ever met". Spider-Man, Echo, Hulk and She-Hulk aren't in the main cast either; they're the only ones who have met him.
I don't want 60% of Doomsday's runtime to be wasted just showing all these characters get drawn into the story. "Incursions happen, the fabric of reality is deteriorating, and the FF and X-Men start showing up outta nowhere talking about a crisis, so the world calls upon its mightiest heroes, except apparently that means two separate, competing teams now" is enough to be getting on with.
I do want DD to show up in movies but he missed the boat for this one. If Marvel wanted him in Doomsday, they should have started setting that up long before now.
22LOVESBALL2025-09-22 00:24
But narratively, you could say that about a lot of characters. How is Shang Chi connected to any of these characters? Just cause of that one scene with Wong? They could literally make one short scene of someone showing up to Datedevils apartment, like how Iron Man went and got Peter in Civil War, and then boom theyre in it.
M4DDIE_8822025-09-22 01:04
I suggest reading the Kang Dynasty script, it’s really interesting and you can see the abandoned seeds that were supposed to lead to Kang. The ten rings, sling rings, and ms marvel’s bangel were all weapons leftover from kang’s multiversal war and that’s why they were sending out a signal, the council of kangs was preparing to retrieve them and wipe out the heroes.

They really dropped the ball by not using shang chi at all for the last 4 years. He could have easily been in the marvels. He could have been in ant man 3 (they're both in San fran, though quantumania would have needed to be drastically different...and probably should have been). It probably wouldn't hurt to have had him in some kind of Dr strange related project due to Wong proximity. And then having him in or around a hulk related project (even a post credit in Cap 4 with all that "build a new Avengers" charter)
jrod42902025-09-22 01:26
yeah but this could be said for a lot of characters, especially in the more recent years of the MCU.
Eastern_Hornet_64322025-09-22 01:48
That's why the "chair announcement" cast of Doomsday are basically pre-assembled teams:
* The Avengers (so anybody who was on the team before)
* The Thunderbolts
* The FF
* The X-Men
There are very few exceptions, and the exceptions have good reasons:
* Shuri and M'Baku already know the Avengers through the late T'Challa who was a member of Team Iron Man and Okoye who was a member of Nat's Avengers
* Shang-Chi has already been introduced to Wong, Hulk, and Captain Marvel, so it's fair to assume he's "in the group chat"
* Loki oversees the multiverse now so this is basically his job
The odd man out is Namor, who has tried to keep himself secret so far and so wouldn't be on anybody's speed dial.
wharpua2025-09-22 01:35
When the Defenders were going on while Civil a war was going to come out, I had high hopes that there’d be a scene of some of the Defenders getting chased down by gov’t goons trying to subvert superheroes into registering or being captured, etc.
For people who hadn’t watched they’d just understand that they were powered people being hunted but for the rest of us it’d be a nice cameo that contributed to the stakes of the main storyline.
Mcspeed1232025-09-22 02:22
Yeah,what was the point of it if not for the larger scale stuff.They have a chance to show the battle from the street level with these characters,Marvel moves too slow at times.
TelenorTheGNP2025-09-22 16:37
The official cast list for Doomsday is 27 people deep. The Infinity War cast was slightly bigger. People are already (stupidly) complaining about bloat, but that doesn't mean we should just throw everyone in there.
Except Madisynn. She should be there.
Emergency-Soil-89352025-09-25 02:43

macbookwhoa2025-09-22 00:29

rgators2025-09-22 01:06
I’m sure he will someday, just maybe not Doomsday. Perhaps he will be in Secret Wars.
Tachibanasama2025-09-22 01:17
Ironically, doomsday would've been better appearance for him than secret wars I would assume secret wars has the bigger Multiversal shenanigans like the other Spider-Men and Deadpool, but doomsday would presumably be more focused and hypothetically cap would probably want to recruit him or something. It's not like he's any more useful than Yelena in these movies.
Prize_Instance_14162025-09-22 01:16
They need some super powered people to be interesting.
If she hulk tv show wasn’t so reviled I’d say she was a good choice. I thought Tatiana did well but the overall vibe of the show was off.
Maybe a real speedster with good fx? Not just punchers and shooters.
Tachibanasama2025-09-22 01:22
X men looking like they would wipe these teams tbh
Prize_Instance_14162025-09-22 14:30
Yes a large beast, collissus , cyclops, powered up rogue, and others are what I want to see. I’m over the mildly or not at all augmented super soldier types.
Notoriously_So2025-09-22 01:17
Tachibanasama2025-09-22 01:19
Shang-Chi, Thor & Sentry looking like the only powerful members of these two avengers teams, definitely should've added She-Hulk & Spider-Man to these films. And daredevil isn't powerful but it's about time he crossed over with the the big leagues.
ABC_Dildos_Inc2025-09-22 03:32
If Black Widow and Hawkeye can be Avengers, so can Daredevil and the Defenders.
DiskKey56832025-09-23 12:48
Particularly Luke Cage, the guy with invulnerability and super strength.

TelephoneCertain53442025-09-22 20:05
