The British actor, who starred opposite Claire Danes in the 2007 film Stardust, will play the masked superhero last embodied on screen by Ben Affleck
Former Boardwalk Empire actor Charlie Cox will play Matt Murdock — better known as the blind superhero Daredevil from Marvel — in the upcoming 13-episode Netflix drama, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Cox’s good news comes after a shake-up on the production: Over the weekend, showrunner Drew Goddard (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Lost) left his post and was replaced by Steven S. DeKnight, though he will remain an executive producer as he reportedly focuses on the Sinister Six spin-off from The Amazing Spider-Man.
Daredevil is one of four solo Marvel superhero properties the streaming service will serialize. Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Luke Cage will then team up and join him for the Netflix miniseries The Defenders, Variety reports.
Netflix and Marvel declined to comment to THR about the rumor, which was first reported by Latino Review.

That's... an odd choice. Not necessarily bad, but not at all what I imagine Murdock looking like.

Mma fighters are very unassuming when they are wearing normal clothes. Murdock is supposed to be a man who is trained in forms of martial artist and gymnastic. Daredevil shouldn't be built like a captain america or a thor. |

Daredevil shouldn't be built like a captain america or a thor. ... just boxing, actually. And Murdock may not be huge, but he's never ever been presented as a skinny guy either.  Look at the size of this dude. He's a beast. More importantly, as Matt Murdock, he's always had a suave, genteel look that Cox just does not capture at all. |

Look at the size of this dude. He's a beast. More importantly, as Matt Murdock, he's always had a suave, genteel look that Cox just does not capture at all. Though he has no superhuman physical attributes beyond an enhanced sense of balance, Daredevil is a master of martial arts.[92] Having been trained by Stick, Daredevil is a master hand-to-hand combatant. His typical moves are unique blends of the martial arts of ninjutsu, aiki jujutsu, jujitsu, kung fu, capoeira, judo, aikido, wrestling, and stick fighting combined with American-style boxing while making full use of his gymnastics capabilities.[93] |

Yeah I forgot about the stick nonsense.... though I would argue to the death with whoever came up with that particular list of martial arts, because it's BS. Daredevil's entire arsenal of moves consists of a half a dozen generic looking leaping kicks, the occasional boxing jab, and those stupid sticks.
... and I still think you're way off base in thinking that Cox is a good choice.

I really liked Dinklage as Trask, even though he was clearly just cast because he's a big deal right now. The guy is a great actor, unfortunately limited by his condition.
