This is a story of doer earnestness that is almost too cute to bear : Charlie Cox has revealed he latterly mess up up a heavy tryout for a role in a Star Wars movie . How ? By being too honorable … at playing Matt Murdock in Daredevil .

The adorable tidbit comes from a new interview conducted byThe Hollywood Reporterabout Cox ’s upcoming office in an off - Broadway product called Incognito . In the play , Cox has six dissimilar roles , and unlike his part as the Man Without Fear , all of them have eyesight . It ’s likely a welcome interruption from play unsighted in Daredevil … which is what make Cox to botch up an auditory sense for a possible use in what he believes was the Han Solo spinoff motion-picture show :

I had gone to an auditory modality — one of those thing that are super secretive and they do n’t secern you , but I ’m fairly sure it was for the Han Solo reboot — and halfway through it , the casting theater director block me and said , ‘ Why are n’t you face at me ? ’ I clear I had gotten into a habit of not making heart contact lens , because the only thing I had done for two twelvemonth is play someone who is blind . I never got invited back , likely because they could n’t forecast out why I was acting like a perfect idiot .

That ’s veracious : Cox has gotten so used to bet blind as Matt Murdock , he kept forgetting to make eye contact when auditioning for other roles . It ’s skillful to see him so attached to his Daredevil work , even if it ends up making him blow a character elsewhere .

That tell , now I ’m imagining an alternate realism where Charlie Cox is play the vernal Han Soloinstead of Alden Ehrenreich . It … weirdly works ?
