Defenders Reunion: Marvel Explores New Avenues

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, Marvel Studios' head of streaming and TV, revealed that the opportunity to reunite the street-level heroes of Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, and Iron Fist—better known as The Defenders—is being actively explored.

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 Daredevil storyline that began on Netflix. Netflix previously hosted its own smaller-scale Marvel universe, featuring 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 own 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 to the Disney+ platform.

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.
