Marvel’s Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 Could Bring Back Luke Cage and Iron Fist!

The official announcement of Jessica Jones’ role in “Daredevil: Born Again” hints at a possible resurgence of the Defenders Saga, with the potential inclusion of Iron Fist and Luke Cage in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I am a fan of the Netflix Marvel series, and I believe the original Daredevil stands out as the finest live-action Marvel production to date. The quality of “Daredevil: Born Again” on Disney+ has approached that level in some instances during season 1, with season 2 having the potential to match it entirely.

Initially, when the series was unveiled, I felt let down by the absence of crucial elements and characters from Netflix’s Daredevil in the new production. However, I was immensely gratified by the series’ reinvention, which introduced characters such as Bullseye, Foggy Nelson, and Karen Page to the cast of Daredevil: Born Again. The Netflix continuation carries on with Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones in season 2, and there have been hints that other Defenders might join her and Charlie Cox’s Daredevil in future appearances.

Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 Filming Is Under Way In New York City

Marvel Studios has not officially confirmed the comeback of Iron Fist and Luke Cage, similar to their announcement for Jessica Jones played by Ritter. Nevertheless, actors associated with the Marvel Cinematic Universe have hinted at a potential return through social media posts. On Instagram, Mike Colter, who plays Luke Cage, shared an image of New York City’s skyline via @WarlingHD/Twitter, suggesting that he is currently in the city where Daredevil: Born Again season 2 is being filmed.

It’s been revealed that Iron Fist actor Finn Jones has posted a picture on Instagram tagging New York City, suggesting he is currently there. This means that all four main cast members of Netflix’s Defenders series are now in the same city, following the news that Krysten Ritter will reprise her role as Jessica Jones in the MCU. Since photos from Daredevil: Born Again season 2 have shown Jessica Jones and Daredevil together again, it seems probable that Finn Jones and Mike Colter (Iron Fist and Luke Cage respectively) will also be returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and may start filming soon.

In a natural and easy-to-read rephrasing, the statement could be:

The finale of Daredevil: Born Again season 1 paved the way for the Defenders’ reunion perfectly. By the end of the season, Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin emerged victorious, with Mayor Fisk establishing an Anti-Vigilante Task Force that targeted all vigilantes following his outlawing of them. New York City was placed under martial law, allowing Kingpin and his associates to operate freely. To counter this villain and establish order, Daredevil opted to rally a team of heroes.

Luke Cage Mike Colter
Iron Fist Finn Jones
Hawkeye (Clint Barton) Jeremy Renner

In the final stretch of season 1, Daredevil (Charlie Cox) emerged as the lone hero among his comrades. Given this, it seems logical that in Daredevil: Born Again season 2, he might rally the other Defenders to his side since they, too, are likely to be impacted by Kingpin’s influence on New York. Just as Daredevil is embroiled in the alterations Kingpin brings to their city, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist will face similar challenges due to their vigilante activities. Here’s hoping we get to witness a united force of these heroes, along with additional street-level Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) characters joining Daredevil in his fight.

The MCU Left The Heroes’ Stories Unfinished

Due to Netflix canceling all their Marvel series prematurely, leaving Luke Cage and Iron Fist with incomplete storylines, Mike Colter’s character, Luke Cage, underwent a significant change in the final season, opting to manage Harlem’s Paradise and regulate activities to minimize neighborhood problems through crime control. Conversely, Iron Fist saw Colleen Wing seizing Danny Rand’s power while he was on his self-exploration journey.

In the upcoming season of Daredevil: Born Again, we may find out what transpired in the previous tales, as the story resumes with the characters years down the line, much like how Charlie Cox’s Daredevil was reintroduced in season 1. It appears that Luke Cage will still be in his position at Harlem’s Paradise, providing an advantage to Daredevil’s forces, as they would possess both firepower and a strong reputation to counterbalance Kingpin’s rule. As for Iron Fist, the MCU series may delve into how Danny Rand’s journey eventually led him back to his former position. I eagerly await the set photos from Daredevil: Born Again season 2 to determine if these hints hold any significance.
