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 a new phase, it appears the established storyline might be changing. Fans are particularly excited about Krysten Ritter returning as Jessica Jones in season two of Daredevil: Born Again, joining Jon Bernthal’s Punisher and other stars from the Netflix Daredevil series who have already appeared in the MCU. Her upcoming return is generating a lot of buzz.

Jessica Henwick has confirmed she won’t be in season two of Daredevil: Born Again. She was a fan favorite as Colleen Wing, appearing in Iron Fist for two seasons and the Defenders crossover on Netflix. Henwick told The Hollywood Reporter that despite visiting the set while they were filming, she won’t be appearing in the new season. She did say she thinks the season will be “incredible” and enjoyed seeing Charlie Cox back in the Daredevil costume, calling it “nostalgic and fun.” While fans hoping to see Colleen return to the MCU will be disappointed, the news isn’t all bad.

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 thought she was the best part of Iron Fist, even outshining the main actor, Finn Jones. Although fans hoped she’d reappear in the Daredevil: Born Again series, Jessica Henwick has stated she isn’t involved. Still, she’s a strong candidate to continue in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and there’s a possibility she still might.

Henwick hasn’t dismissed the possibility of returning to the role, and her comments suggest fans might see her back. She even 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 rising popularity in Hollywood, bringing Colleen Wing back would be a very appealing idea.

Now that Jessica Jones is back, fans are eager to know what’s next for Colleen Wing, who became the Iron Fist at the end of the Netflix series. Jessica Henwick, the actor 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 the role, many believe she deserves another chance, especially since her character was one of the strongest from the Netflix Marvel shows.
