Loki and Daredevil have yet to face off in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but there was almost a crossover of sorts behind the scenes of Daredevil: Born Again<\/em>. In an interview ahead of the Born Again<\/em> season two finale, star Charlie Cox revealed that Tom Hiddleston\u2014whom he\u2019s worked with on non-Marvel projects and is a personal friend\u2014came very close to directing a Born Again<\/em> episode.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Josh Horowitz onstage as part of the Happy Sad Confused<\/em> podcast (via CBR), Cox was delighted by a video clip of Hiddleston, who brought up their 2019 stint co-starring on Broadway in Harold Pinter\u2019s Betrayal<\/em>. That led to a story about how the star of Disney+ series Loki<\/em> almost helmed an episode of Cox\u2019s own Disney+ show, Daredevil: Born Again<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first season of Born Again<\/em> was originally, before the strike [in 2023], going to be 18 episodes long, and Tom was going to direct one of the episodes,\u201d Cox revealed.<\/p>\n

He went on to call it \u201cone of the great losses of the back half of that original season.\u201d Season one, which streamed in 2025, ended up running nine episodes instead.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe changes that were made to the show were needed and necessary and made it much better,\u201d Cox admitted.<\/p>\n

But Cox is still bummed it didn\u2019t work out: \u201cHe was going to direct episode 12 or something\u2026 We were already on the phone collaborating and coming up with ideas and stuff. That would have been lovely.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hey, there\u2019s always Born Again<\/em> season three.\u00a0Make it happen, Marvel!<\/p>\n
