Oddly for somebody who has made their name playing heroes in high-octane TV shows, Charlie Cox has never been mentioned in the running to play superspy James Bond, and it seems that’s the way he likes it. “Have you ever interviewed anyone who’s gone, ‘Nah, not really’?” he laughs when I ask if he fancies the role.

“I grew up with the Bonds... [but] what I get to do in the job scratches that itch. I get to have all the courtroom scenes and the lawyer stuff. And then I get to put on spandex and jump off roofs.” The job Cox is referring to, is his long-running stint as the MCU’s Daredevil – a role he’s played since 2015.
