In this bonus episode of #TalkDaredevil, we finally gather to discuss the exciting news that Charlie Cox *will* be reprising his role as Daredevil in future MCU projects, confirmed directly by Kevin Feige himself. We talk about the campaign's reaction to the interview and where we stand as #SaveDaredevil (spoiler alert: it's an incredible win for our campaign, but we aren't done yet!), and why it means a lot for Feige to share this news now.

This is a bonus mini episode originally published for our YouTube channel - join the conversation on our channel!

#SaveDaredevil Spoiler Policy: Given all of the potential happenings for next week, we'll begin implementing a temporary #SaveDaredevil spoiler policy for our official social media channels, including --

+ Tagging spoilery posts with #DDSpoilers on platforms where you can mute/block hashtags
+ For IG, using a spoiler warning in captions and a blurred-out slide in the image carousel. We will avoid posting direct spoilers in IG stories unless it’s been stickered over / blocked out.

While the majority of our followers have asked us to post + discuss any appearances right away, as a courtesy for fans who won't have time to immediately watch, this buffer will be in place for three days after any actual appearances. After three days, we will start relaxing our posts. Please remember that no method is perfect and the only way to avoid spoilers completely is to steer cheer of social media and shared fandom spaces on the internet. While we will make our best attempt to preserve the mystery, we will still be actively posting about anything of note to the #SaveDaredevil campaign, so tread carefully and generously exercise that mute button!
