Charlie Cox, the star of the Disney+ reboot “Daredevil: Born Again,” recently shared his thoughts on one particular episode that he wished had been cut from the series. In a sit-down interview with The Playlist, Cox revealed that Episode 5, titled “With Interest,” remained unchanged despite his reservations.
The episode in question sees Cox’s character, Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil, caught in the middle of a bank robbery while trying to secure a business loan for his law firm. Cox admitted that this episode was his “least favorite” of the season and that he had pushed back against it as much as he could.
Cox expressed his concerns about the episode, stating that it felt outdated and not sophisticated enough for the show’s modern setting. Despite his reservations, Cox acknowledged that the episode has been well-received by viewers, with many considering it to be one of the highest-rated episodes of the series.
While Cox may not have been a fan of Episode 5, it seems that the episode has resonated with audiences and received positive feedback. It just goes to show that everyone’s taste is different, and what one person may not enjoy, others may love.
Overall, despite his personal feelings about the episode, Cox recognizes the subjective nature of storytelling and the fact that not every episode will appeal to every viewer. In the end, “With Interest” remains a standout episode in the “Daredevil: Born Again” series, even if it wasn’t Cox’s cup of tea.
