>I have absolutely no idea why Charlie Cox took this role

Seriously? It's his job lmao. Actors take the roles they're offered. Not alll of them can afford to be super selective and/or require to see every script for anything they touch with a 10 foot pole.

Have you seen De Niro's movies the past 20 years? He went from consistently being a big part of masterpiece after masterpiece, to consistently having a largely insignificant role in shitty comedy after shitty comedy. In recent years, he happened to get the Irishman and Joker, which released the same year, but has only had mediocre roles in mediocre films/shows again after that.

It's the nature of the job. What else has Cox even been in since Daredevil's cancellation? He, like all of us, needed work, so he took it.

Exactly good shows that touch us are a rarity .For every one premiere TV masterpiece theres 100's of garbage ass shows.Just look at How to Keep up with Kardashians and wonder why the fuck it still gets renewed.For every Bosch theres a tons of crappy procedurals that go nowhere. Hence why HBO was before Zaslav one of the best spots for talented creators because they approved very few shows.

So actors often have to take shit roles to stay relevant in hopes that someone talented eventually scoops them so they can truly EAT the script and earn bank,hopefully a good show with multiple seasons

Charlie Cox is probably happy that he was likely able to negotiate a good payout from this shitshow and is salivating at the prospects of starring in the Daredevil reboot alongside Vincent D'nofrio
