For Marvel, Daredevil: Born Again is not just about reviving Matt Murdock. With the show's third instalment looming, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has the opportunity to bring back some of its beloved yet momentarily lost TV characters straight from its superhero mines. The studio cannot possibly keep developing Murdock's storyline without re-establishing truncated links to the superheroes that once wreaked havoc on Netflix. 

For the ardent believers whose unwavering faith in MCU's fan service keeps thickening the plot, recent reports deliver great news! 

Marvel has started bringing back characters from Netflix shows following their temporary divorce from the main MCU timeline for several years. Rumor has it that in the third season of the Disney+ series, Daredevil: Born Again, the Defenders from Netflix’s street-savvy superhero corner will return to the Marvel cosmos. 

According to Daniel Ritchman, Marvel insiders suggest that Krysten Ritter will reportedly return to her role as Jessica Jones, continuing her Defenders run with the current MCU storyline after Season 2. Meanwhile, Charlie Cox, who plays Daredevil, and Vincent D’Onofrio, who plays Kingpin, will appear in Season 3, which begins filming in early 2026.

Insiders from Marvel, as reported by Daniel Richtman on Patreon his also speculate that the studio still has opportunities to bring back well-known characters. Jon Bernthal’s Punisher already returned in earlier Born Again episodes, and there is growing buzz about Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and other Defenders icons possibly appearing as the show’s world expands. The official confirmation for Season 3 currently stands at Jessica Jones, yet industry speculations indicate that Marvel might deploy its street-level heroes when it benefits the narrative.

Rest assured, Daredevil: Born Again functions as more than a revival of the standalone original series. The series will investigate deeper Defenders connections through its creative changes and its integration of Netflix content into the MCU timeline, potentially culminating in fan-favorite character cameos, team-ups, and future spin-offs, and more, as the release date nears.
