A major Marvel reunion appears to be taking shape on the set of ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ season 3, even as season 2 is still airing on Disney+. New photos from New York City show Krysten Ritter, Mike Colter, and Finn Jones together, pointing to the return of Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist alongside Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock. If the reunion makes it to screen, it will mark the first time the four Defenders share the screen again since ‘The Defenders’ in 2017.
‘Daredevil: Born Again season 3 set photos reveal Defenders reunion
Entertainment Weekly reported that season 3 is filming in New York City and that Colter and Jones were spotted on set with Ritter. The publication also said studio representatives were contacted for comment. Ritter’s return as Jessica Jones had already been announced ahead of the later episodes of season 2, and the latest images add fresh weight to speculation that the full street-level team from the Netflix era is coming back together.Before the current streaming era, these characters headlined separate New York-set series including ‘Daredevil’, ‘Jessica Jones’, ‘Luke Cage’, and ‘Iron Fist’. They later came together in ‘The Defenders’. That chapter ended years ago, but ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ has steadily reopened the door for those earlier characters.
Luke Cage and Iron Fist return rumors grow
Colter had already hinted that a return was getting closer. Speaking on the March 3 episode of the ‘Inside of You’ podcast, he said, “Now it’s time.” He added, “I’ve had discussions with Marvel, and I do think that it’s very, very likely that I will come back at some point, but I don’t know when. But I think I will.”Jones also made it clear that he wants another chance to play Danny Rand. At a March 2025 anime convention, he said, “I’m very aware of the critiques of the character and my role in it.” He added, “My response to that is like, ‘Give me a f—ing chance, man.’ I’m here and I’m ready. I want to prove people wrong. So I would love to see that happen.”Five episodes still remain in ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ season 2. That run will be followed by ‘The Punisher: One Last Kill’, starring Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle. A premiere date for season 3 has not been announced.
