Iconic Marvel Netflix Actor Debunks Rumors of MCU Return

by

Despite the popular Marvel shows originally on Netflix now being officially part of the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe, a key actor has shared some discouraging news about continuing in their role. As the MCU moves into its next phase, it appears the established storyline might be changing. A highly anticipated development is the return of Jessica Jones, played by Krysten Ritter, in season two of Daredevil: Born Again. Ritter joins other Netflix alumni like Jon Bernthal’s Punisher, who have already appeared in the MCU, and her upcoming role is generating a lot of excitement.

Jessica Henwick has confirmed she won’t be in season two of Daredevil: Born Again. Though she was a fan favorite as Colleen Wing in Iron Fist and The Defenders on Netflix, she won’t be reprising the role. Henwick told The Hollywood Reporter that while she did visit the set, she isn’t part of the new season. She did share that the season looks “incredible” and watching Charlie Cox as Daredevil again was “nostalgic and fun.” While fans hoping to see Colleen back in the Marvel Cinematic Universe will be disappointed, Henwick’s comments are still positive overall.

Jessica Henwick’s Colleen Wing Deserves An MCU Return

Colleen Wing was a fan favorite among the supporting characters in Netflix’s Marvel series. Many viewers actually thought she was the best part of Iron Fist, even outshining the main actor, Finn Jones. Although fans hoped she’d return for the Daredevil: Born Again revival, Jessica Henwick has stated she isn’t involved. Still, she’s a former Netflix Marvel star who deserves a place in the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe, and there’s still a chance it could happen.

Henwick hasn’t dismissed the possibility of reprising her role, and her recent statements suggest fans might have reason to hope she will. She visited the set during filming, showing she’s still close with her former co-stars, Charlie Cox and Krysten Ritter, which likely keeps her on Marvel’s list of potential actors. Given Henwick’s current popularity in Hollywood, bringing Colleen Wing back would be a particularly exciting move.

Now that Jessica Jones is back, fans are eager to know what’s next for Colleen Wing after she became the Iron Fist at the end of season 2. Jessica Henwick, the actress who played Colleen, has found success in other roles, making her a valuable addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While it’s not confirmed if she’ll reprise her role, many believe she deserves another chance, as her character was one of the strongest from the Netflix Marvel series.
