Will Ben Affleck reprise his role as Daredevil in Deadpool 3? Here’s everything we know about the rumour

There are swirling rumours suggesting that Ben Affleck is delving into the realm of the multiverse once more. After his final portrayal of Bruce Wayne, also known as Batman, in DC's The Flash movie, speculation has emerged that the actor might return as his long-lost Marvel superhero character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Will Ben Affleck return as Daredevil in Deadpool 3?

According to industry insider KC Walsh, there is a new rumour circulating that Ben Affleck has been spotted on the set of Deadpool 3. Filming for Deadpool 3 commenced in May 2023 and is currently taking place in England, adding credibility to the recent report. However, the specifics of Affleck's role have not been confirmed by Walsh. Nonetheless, given the multiversal nature of the movie and the inclusion of past Fox-Marvel characters, it is reasonable to assume that Affleck could potentially appear as Daredevil.


Charlie Cox, who portrays Daredevil in the current Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), previously mentioned the possibility of a collaboration between his character and Wade Wilson in a Deadpool film. He noted the similarities in tone between the Deadpool project and the "Daredevil: Born Again" storyline. Cox made these remarks during a panel at German Comic-Con in Dortmund in December 2022. It is plausible that Ryan Reynolds and other individuals associated with the project heard Cox's statement. However, before any team-up with Cox's Daredevil, viewers may witness Deadpool bidding farewell to Affleck's portrayal of Daredevil from the 2003 film produced by Fox.

Despite the intriguing rumours, fans should approach the "Daredevil in Deadpool 3" speculation with caution. Even if it turns out to be true, it is likely that Affleck's appearance in the film will be limited to a cameo at most.
