Daredevil's highly anticipated return is on the horizon, and the creative team is already contemplating future storylines, potentially including a Defenders reunion.
Brad Winderbaum, Marvel Studios' head of streaming and TV, revealed in an EW interview that the possibility of reuniting the street-level heroes – Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, and Iron Fist – is actively being explored. While nothing is confirmed, Winderbaum expressed excitement about the potential, acknowledging the logistical challenges of working with actors' schedules and the large-scale production demands of building a cinematic universe, especially for television. He emphasized that despite these factors, the creative possibilities are incredibly appealing and under active consideration.
Daredevil: Born Again will directly continue the Netflix Daredevil storyline. Netflix previously hosted a smaller-scale Marvel universe featuring Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage. Winderbaum's comments suggest that Daredevil: Born Again could serve as a launching point to reintroduce these characters within Disney's MCU framework on Disney+. The inclusion of Jon Bernthal's Punisher in the new season further supports this possibility, marking another successful transition of a Netflix character.
The upcoming premiere of Daredevil: Born Again on March 4th will be crucial in determining how the series might connect to the broader MCU. Until then, speculation remains.
