Three of the MCU’s biggest franchises could have crossover potential ifSpider-Man,Deadpool, andDaredevilwere to united under one team. The idea of these three legendary characters joining forces isn’t a new one, considering Team Red existed as a one-time comic in the late 2000s. However, the cinematic universe hasn’t witnessed the formation in any capacity. The closest it got was Charlie Cox’sDaredevilmaking a cameo inSpider-Man: No Way Home.
In the not so distant past, the thought of Spider-Man and Deadpool being a part of the MCU seemed like a pipe dream, but with Spider-Man joining duringCaptain America: Civil War, and Deadpool making the leap duringDeadpool & Wolverine, infinite possibilities have emerged. With Cox remaining as Daredevil for theDaredevil: Born Againseries, naturally, he was posed the question about the potential team up. According toScreen Rant, at Rose City Comic-Con 2024, Cox finally addressed the possibility of a crossover in the vaguest possible way. He said:
“I’ll have to check my schedule!”
The Idea Of Team Red Has Been Teased In The Past
While the trio of Spider-Man, Deadpool, and Daredevil has not been directly foreshadowed, the appearance of Cox’s Daredevil character in the latest installment of the Spider-Man franchise, left a lot of questions about what could be. Even though his character was in the film for mere moments, it left an impact on Spider-Man actor, Tom Holland, who opened up toThe Hollywood Reporterin 2022, teasing the possibility of the red-suited heroes teaming up in a larger capacity.
Charlie was a lot of fun. It was really cool to see him snap back into a character that I am really a fan of and that he has a lot of love for, obviously. So it was pretty awesome, and I hope that one day we find a way for Spider-Man and Daredevil to team up again.
More teases involving this trio were givenduring the press for Daredevil & Wolverine, with Ryan Reynolds expressing his love of Holland’s work as the webbed hero. He stated:“If I could pick one, I’d love to play Spider-Man. Tom Holland is amazing.”

Kevin Feige has previously suggested wanting to put a lot of focus on “street-level heroes” at some point in the future, which could finally see at least some of this team-up becoming a reality.
