At long last, it looks as if Marvel has settled the great debate surrounding where Daredevil fits into the MCU’s canon.
On the company’s official site, there’s a section about Charlie Cox’s hero which mentions that following the events of Season 3 of his Netflix show, he was “hired as an attorney to defend Peter Parker.”
See below for the relevant passage:
Soon after, Matt attended the funeral for Father Lantom, where he made peace with Sister Maggie. Now in a better state of mind than he had been in quite a while, Matt fully reconciled with Karen and Foggy and the three of them discussed the idea of reforming their law firm with Karen now as the firm’s lead investigator and third partner.
Sometime later, Matt was hired as an attorney to defend Peter Parker, as Peter had been publicly outed as Spider-Man and accused of Mysterio’s murder. Though Peter was legally cleared of any wrongdoing, Matt warned him he’d still have to face the court of public opinion and advised Harold “Happy” Hogan to hire a good lawyer.
Of course, this indicates that the version of Daredevil we see in the MCU is the same one as we’ve come to know, and not a variant. Though when and where we’ll run into him next remains unclear for now.
