Daredevil's highly anticipated return is on the horizon, and the creative team is already brainstorming future possibilities, including a potential Defenders reunion.
In a recent EW interview, Brad Winderbaum, head of streaming and TV at Marvel Studios, expressed keen interest in reuniting the street-level heroes of Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, and Iron Fist—the Defenders.
While nothing is confirmed, Winderbaum stated, "It's certainly exciting to be able to play in that sandbox… We're dealing with actors, scheduling, and the immense production scale required to build a cinematic universe, particularly for television." He continued, "But considering all those factors, it's a creatively thrilling prospect that we're actively exploring."
Daredevil: Born Again will directly continue the Netflix Daredevil storyline. Netflix previously hosted its own smaller-scale Marvel universe featuring Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage. Winderbaum's comments suggest Daredevil: Born Again could serve as a springboard to reintroduce these characters within Disney's MCU framework on Disney+. The inclusion of Jon Bernthal's Punisher in the new season already demonstrates the successful transition of a Netflix character.
The March 4th premiere of Daredevil: Born Again will be crucial in determining how the series integrates into the broader MCU. Until then, the possibility of a Defenders revival remains exciting speculation.
