Since the ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ trailer dropped on Wednesday, fans have been in awe, as their favorite stars will return. However, there were speculations surrounding another star being a part of the superhero film. Fans were speculating that ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ star Charlie Cox will also be a part of the film. Now, the star has cleared up the clouds of speculation.
How the speculations started?
During the Wednesday episode of ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live,’ the talk show host had Cox spill the tea. Kimmel grilled Daredevil: Born Again star Charlie Cox about his potential involvement in ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’. Speculation surrounding Cox’s character Matt Murdock/Daredevil appearing in the film has skyrocketed following the release of the first Brand New Day trailer earlier that day.

I haven’t seen it,” Cox, who flew from New York, where Daredevil films, to Los Angeles for his Kimmel appearance, replied. “I’m sorry, I haven’t seen it.”
