With the next season of *Daredevil* on the horizon, fans are buzzing with excitement, and the show's creators are already planning ahead. A major profile in Entertainment Weekly reveals that Brad Winderbaum, Marvel Studios' head of streaming and TV, is keen on the idea of bringing back the street-level heroes from the original *Daredevil* series, along with *Luke Cage*, *Jessica Jones*, and *Iron Fist*—collectively known as The Defenders.
While nothing has been officially confirmed, Winderbaum expressed his enthusiasm to EW, stating, "It's certainly exciting to be able to play in that sandbox... Obviously, we don’t have the unlimited storytelling resources like a comic book, [where] if you can draw it, you can do it. We’re dealing with actors and time and the massive scale of production in order to build a cinematic universe, especially on television." He further elaborated, "But I can just say that all those variables taken into account, it is certainly something that is creatively extremely exciting and that we are very much exploring."
*Daredevil: Born Again* is set to be a direct continuation of the storyline that began on Netflix. This Netflix-hosted Marvel universe also featured shows like *Jessica Jones*, *Iron Fist*, and *Luke Cage*. Given Winderbaum's comments, *Daredevil: Born Again* might serve as a springboard to reintroduce these beloved characters on Disney Plus, under Disney's creative control. The new season will notably include Jon Bernthal reprising his role as The Punisher, marking another transition from Netflix to Disney.
As we eagerly await the premiere of *Daredevil: Born Again* on March 4, we'll have to see how it unfolds before speculating on how Daredevil might connect with the broader MCU. The anticipation is high, and the possibilities are endless for fans of these gritty, street-level superheroes.
