Charlie Cox's portrayal of Daredevil has seamlessly transitioned from Netflix to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), sparking speculation about potential comebacks for other members of The Defenders. Finn Jones, who played Iron Fist, has expressed his eagerness to return to the role, stating at LaConve, an anime convention in Monterrey, NL, Mexico, "I'm here and I'm ready." Jones last portrayed Danny Rand in Season 2 of the Iron Fist series on Netflix and in The Defenders, where he teamed up with Daredevil/Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), Luke Cage (Mike Colter), and Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter).
Despite mixed reactions to Jones' interpretation of Iron Fist, the successful reintegration of Daredevil into the MCU has fueled hopes for a revival of The Defenders. Recent reports suggest Marvel is "exploring" this possibility. At the convention, Jones acknowledged the criticism he received but urged fans and Marvel to give him another chance, saying, "Give me a f***ing chance, man. I want to prove people wrong."
Daredevil: Born Again continues the story from the Netflix series, which was part of a smaller-scale Marvel universe that also included Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage. These shows, along with the broader Defenders narrative, are now officially part of the MCU canon, available on Disney+. Jon Bernthal's Punisher, another character from the Netflix series, also makes an appearance in Daredevil: Born Again.
