Daredevil's highly anticipated next season is on the horizon, and the creative team is already envisioning future storylines, potentially including a Defenders reunion.
In a recent EW profile, Brad Winderbaum, head of streaming and TV at Marvel Studios, expressed strong 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… Obviously, we don't have unlimited storytelling resources like a comic book, where if you can draw it, you can do it. We're dealing with actors, time constraints, and the massive scale of production needed to build a cinematic universe, especially on television."
He continued, "But I can say that, considering all these factors, it's creatively extremely exciting and something we're actively exploring."
Daredevil: Born Again will directly continue the Netflix Daredevil storyline. Netflix previously hosted a smaller-scale Marvel universe with shows like Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage. Winderbaum's comments suggest Daredevil: Born Again could serve as a springboard to revive these characters within Disney's MCU framework on Disney+. The inclusion of Jon Bernthal's Punisher in the new season further supports this, marking another successful transition of a Netflix hero.
The possibilities remain speculative until the March 4th premiere of Daredevil: Born Again. Only then will we see how the series might connect to the broader MCU.
