With Charlie Cox returning forDaredevil: Born Again, theMarvel Cinematic Universemay see the return of the Netflix-Marvel heroes sooner rather than later. Matt Murdock’s return tothe MCU timelineis getting closer asDaredevil: Born Againwill continue the adventures of the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen. However, many MCU fans are actively wondering what the chances are of the rest of the Defenders making their comeback to the franchise.
In a newEntertainment Weeklyinterview with Brad Winderbaum, who is the Head of Streaming at Marvel Studios, he was asked about the possibility of the other Marvel-Netflix heroes making their way back into the MCU franchise. Without going too much into specifics,Winderbaum teased that it is something"that we are very much exploring"ahead of theDaredevil: Born Againpremiere, sharing the following:
I can’t say much, but I’ll tell you that it’s so exciting to be able to play in that sandbox. Obviously we don’t have the unlimited storytelling resources like a comic book. If you can draw it, you can do it. It’s dealing with actors and time and the massive scale of production in order to build a cinematic universe, especially on television. But I can just say that all those variables taken into account, it is certainly something that is creativelyextremelyexciting and that we are very much exploring.
Character Returns Like Jessica Jones Are Still In The Cards
Ever sincethe Marvel-Netflix shows became canon to the MCU,the doors have been wide open for Marvel Studios to continue exploring Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist, as well as the players from their respective series. Making solo shows for each of them may be trickier, at least for the rest of The Multiverse Saga’s run, as Marvel Studios is getting through the rest of Phases 5 and 6. However, it wouldn’t be shocking ifDaredevil: Born Againwill serve as a vehicle to have at least some of The Defenders members back.
