Charlie Cox's Daredevil appearing in Spider-Man: Freshman year comes a few weeks after it was reported that Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio would return and reprise their roles as Daredevil and Kingpin in the upcoming live-action Disney+ series, Echo. In 2021 Kevin Feige said in an interview with CinemaBlend that Cox would return as Daredevil, with the actor making a brief cameo that same year in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Although no trailer was shown at the panel, we did get plenty of new details on the upcoming animated show outside of a release window and Cox returning to voice Daredevil. This includes confirmation of some villains set to appear in the series: Dr. Octavius, Chameleon, Speed Demon, Scorpion, and Butane the Pyromaniac. Additionally, Harry Osborn and Amadeus Cho will appear in the series.
The panel also revealed, that the second season of the show, subtitled "Sophomore Year," will focus on Peter's sophomore year of high school.
