Daredevil: Born Again Season 3 Brings The Defenders Back Together

Mike Colter and Finn Jones are set to return as Luke Cage and Iron Fist in the upcoming third season of Daredevil: Born Again. This exciting news comes from leaked set photos, as production is currently underway in New York City.

Recently, images surfaced showing Colter and Jones on set alongside Charlie Cox, who plays Daredevil, and Krysten Ritter, known for her role as Jessica Jones. An outlet later confirmed that a full reunion of The Defenders is planned for this season of Daredevil: Born Again. Marvel Studios has yet to make an official statement regarding the leaks or the return of Colter and Jones.

While the first season of Daredevil: Born Again primarily focused on the titular hero, Jessica Jones is set to make an appearance in the second season. Her return has naturally led to speculation about whether other heroes from Marvel’s Netflix lineup would also come back, and now we have our answer.

Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist each had their own series on Netflix during the 2010s, culminating in a crossover event in 2017 with The Defenders. After that, Marvel’s Netflix offerings began to wind down, and Colter and Jones did not reprise their roles after their respective series ended in 2018. The leaked set photos don’t provide much insight into the characters’ roles in the new season, but they do confirm their presence.

Initially, Marvel appeared reluctant to acknowledge the Netflix shows in Daredevil: Born Again, but that stance has shifted as more characters and elements from those series have been integrated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It seems that the characters and storylines from the Netflix series are now being fully embraced.

While the third season is still in production and won’t be released for a while, the second season of Daredevil: Born Again is currently airing weekly on Disney+. The series has been well-received, with some calling it “Marvel’s most political show ever.”
