The possibility of Jones’ return is exciting for fans of the Netflix Marvel shows, which were well-received for their unique take on the superhero genre. The shows explored darker themes and more complex character development compared to their MCU counterparts. However, the cancellation of these series left many storylines unresolved, and fans have been clamoring for a proper conclusion to these characters’ arcs.

Defenders Reunion Teased as Daredevil Leads the Charge into the MCU

Charlie Cox’s Daredevil and Vincent D’Onofrio’s Wilson Fisk marked the beginning of the Defendersverse characters’ integration into the MCU. Their appearances in recent MCU projects have been met with positive reactions, fueling hopes that other characters from the Netflix series will follow suit. The upcoming Daredevil: Born Again series, set in Hell’s Kitchen and starring Cox and D’Onofrio, presents an ideal opportunity for cameo appearances by other Defenders, including Iron Fist.

Marvel Studios’ control over the future of these characters, combined with the introduction of the multiverse concept in the MCU, opens up endless possibilities for their return. The multiverse allows for the inclusion of past characters without affecting the continuity of current storylines. This narrative flexibility means that characters like Iron Fist, Luke Cage, and Jessica Jones could potentially receive a fitting farewell or even a new lease on life within the MCU.
