There are 'what ifs', and then there's whatever went on with Netflix's Daredevil series. Charlie Cox, who played lawyer-turned vigilante Matt Murdock across three seasons, reveals that producers initially wanted him to play the role of Matt's friend Foggy – but he refused to even entertain the idea.
Speaking to British GQ, Cox recalled how he auditioned for the role of Matt Murdock and was then called over to Los Angeles for a screen test. The problem? They wanted him as Foggy, the role of Matt's best friend that eventually went to Elden Henson. For Cox, it was time to be The Man Without Fear – in all senses of the word.
