Daredevil’s Charlie Cox Says Nanotech Helmet Would Avoid ‘Bad Hair Days’

Actor Charlie Cox, looking forward to playing Matt Murdock / Daredevil again in the upcoming Disney+ series “Daredevil: Born Again,” recently discussed the potential for his character to receive a nanotech helmet during an interview. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has increasingly incorporated nanotechnology, with various characters utilizing nano-technology for diverse purposes.

In a recent conversation with his fellow cast member Vincent D’Onofrio (depicting Wilson Fisk/Kingpin), one of The Defenders actors was interviewed. During this chat, the topic of nanotechnology, a key element in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, was brought up by the interviewer.

In a conversation with Screen Rant, the interviewer requested Charlie Cox to guarantee that he wouldn’t accept an upgrade to his helmet using Nanotechnology should the Avengers ever invite him. Amused by the question, Charlie inquired, “Alright, why?

In simpler terms, the interviewer argued that the helmets made using Nanotech technology in the MCU didn’t fit well with the character of Daredevil. He explained that when Daredevil removes his physical mask, there’s a sense of power emanating, and it wouldn’t have the same impact if it just malfunctioned away. In agreement with this point, D’Onofrio responded, “You make a good point.

Furthermore, Charlie Cox shared that street-level heroes were aware of this fact, and Vincent D’Onofrio cautioned his fellow actor against making promises beyond his capabilities. Cox concurred, adding a comment to the interviewer that hinted at the practicality of Nanotech helmets. “I should mention,” he stated, “that sometimes when that [helmet] is removed, it reveals a less-than-ideal hair day.

In my perspective as an avid Marvel fan, it’s fascinating to note that numerous characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) have wielded gadgets crafted with Nanotech or nanites – from Iron Man himself, Tony Stark, to Spider-Man, Peter Parker, Shuri, Black Panther (T’Challa), and even Erik Killmonger. Yet, the frequent employment of Nanotech as a narrative device across different MCU projects has sparked debate among fans like me. The reason being, instead of using practical effects, the creators opt for Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI) to bring these tools to life on screen.

Meanwhile, Daredevil: Born Again premieres on Disney+ on March 4, 2025.
