It doesn't look as though Daredevil or any of Marvel's TV heroes will show up in the comic book giant's movies any time soon. With "Captain America: Civil War" uniting a vast cast of big-screen heroes in just a matter of weeks, "Daredevil" star Charlie Cox has ruled out an appearance.

"There was no conversation about joining any of the movies," the British star said, although he said he would jump at the chance to appear in a Marvel movie. "Who wouldn't want to be in the highest grossing film of all time?"

"Civil War" is already stuffed to bursting with Marvel heroes, as Captain America and Iron Man lead opposing factions into a superpowered dust-up. New faces include Black Panther and a new version of Spider-Man, so adding Daredevil into the mix might be a bit much. Still, we've got a lot of love for Daredevil and his Netflix pals, and it would be fun to have the small-screen superheroes stretch their superpowers on the big screen at some point.

Cox was speaking on stage at a showcase event here in Paris held by Netflix, the streaming service that produces "Daredevil". Netflix executives and talent from its shows are in France to spotlight new productions, including the company's first French and British programmes.
