The business of non-MCU characters coming under the Marvel Studios umbrella isn't a simple one – as Daredevil star Charlie Cox can vouch.
"I really thought that ship had sailed, you know? I thought it was over," Cox said during an appearance at Wales Comic Con about the prospect of his character returning. "It had been a couple of years since [Netflix's Daredevil had been canceled]. What I didn’t know was there was an embargo on that. So, there was an amount of time – I think it was probably two years – after the show was canceled before Disney and Marvel could approach us."
