The highly anticipated next season of Daredevil is on the horizon, and the creative minds behind it are already looking ahead, even hinting at a possible Defenders reunion.
In a recent extensive interview with Entertainment Weekly, 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, better known as 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 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 continued, "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.”
We know *Daredevil: Born Again* will directly continue the Netflix *Daredevil* storyline. Netflix previously hosted its own 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 new season already includes Jon Bernthal's Punisher, another successful transfer of a Netflix character.For now, we'll have to wait and see what unfolds in Daredevil: Born Again when it premieres on March 4th before further speculating on its potential connections to the wider MCU.
