Marvel just dropped a not-so-secret bombshell – and fans are already losing it.
Even though, Daredevil: Born Again season 2 is still rolling out on Disney+, new set photos from New York have basically confirmed what longtime fans have been begging for: the Defenders are back.
Yes, all of them.
Mike Colter (Luke Cage), Finn Jones (Iron Fist), and Krysten Ritter (Jessica Jones) have all been spotted filming alongside Charlie Cox — aka Daredevil himself.
Translation? Hell’s Kitchen is officially getting the band back together.
This marks the first time the original Defenders crew will share the screen since The Defenders – back when Marvel ruled Netflix with gritty, street-level chaos.
And yes, the hype has been brewing for a while. Colter hinted at it earlier this year, saying, “Now it’s time.” He added, “I’ve had discussions with Marvel… I do think that it’s very, very likely that I will come back at some point… But I think I will.”
As for Jones? He’s got something to prove; “I’m very aware of the critiques of the character and my role in it,” he admitted. “My response to that is like, ‘Give me a f—ing chance, man… I want to prove people wrong.’”
Ritter’s return had already been teased, but let’s be honest – Jessica Jones never shows up alone for long.
With five episodes of season 2 still to go and The Punisher: One Last Kill on deck, Marvel might just be building toward its grittiest crossover yet.
Safe to say… this is not just a comeback. It’s a takeover.
