Daredevil’s Charlie Cox on Cancellation: ‘We Had a Lot of Stories to Tell’
Daredevil actor Charlie Cox is excited by what would have happened in a fourth season of the show had it not been canceled by Netflix.
In an interview with EW, Cox discusses how difficult the cancelation has been for him and those who worked on the show, saying "A lot of us really expected to keep going, and I certainly did. The truth is, I felt like we had a lot of stories to tell, and although I understand, I’m very saddened by that.
"These characters mean a lot to people. It’s weird to think there’s a chance I won’t be playing Matt Murdock ever again. That’s a bizarre feeling, because that character has been such a huge part of my life for the last four and a half years.”

South Korea Makes Boosting Other Players’ Game Levels Illegal
South Korea’s National Assembly recently passed an amendment that can result in players caught boosting in online games getting charged with a two-year suspended prison sentence and a fine of up to $18,000.
As reported by Inven (via Dot Esports), the law is an amendment to South Korea's Game Industry Promotion Act, which already applied these punishments to crimes related to hacking, the illegal distribution and licensing of games, and more. Boosting occurs when a highly-skilled player in games like Overwatch or League of Legends is paid to artificially boost another player’s ranking by logging onto their account and winning matches for them.
