Daredevil actor Charlie Cox is working on a new video game project, following his award-nominated turn as Gustave in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
Speaking to YouTube channel Agents of Fandom, Cox said the role — his first in the realm of video games — had “opened a new avenue for my professional work” and inspired him to take on another video game project this year, one that he was “much more involved” in.
For Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Cox only provided the voice of Gustave rather than full performance capture for the character — something which meant his time actually spent recording for the project was minimal, while motion capture was separately filmed by another actor. For his next video game project, however, Cox suggested he’ll be providing this too.
“I loved being part of Expedition 33, I was blown away by the success it’s had and how far-reaching that game has been,” Cox said. “And it has seemingly opened a new avenue for my professional work. I’m going to do another game this year which is going to be much more involved for me, much more work.
“It’s something I haven’t known much about and I honestly didn’t realize how passionate the fans were,” he continued. “They’re as passionate as the Marvel fans are, so that’s been really, really cool. And a special shout out to Maxence Cazorla who did the mo-cap for the character that I voiced.”
All of which begs the question — what is his new video game role? Presumably this isn’t a video game appearance for his Marvel character, who Cox has now portrayed for more than a decade across the original Daredevil series, Defenders team-up spinoff, plus guest appearances in She-Hulk, Echo and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.
Could it be the next project from Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 developer Sandfall Interactive? While it seems possible Cox might work again with the team, it’d likely be too soon for the small studio’s next project to be in the recording stages this year.
While we wait to find out, Matt Murdock fans have a second season of Daredevil: Born Again to look forward to, which premieres its first episode via Disney+ next week.
