Marvel Explores Reuniting The Defenders

Apr 04,25

The anticipation for the next season of *Daredevil* is building, and the creative minds behind the series are already plotting what's next, including a potential *Defenders* reunion. In a detailed profile featured in Entertainment Weekly (EW), Brad Winderbaum, Marvel Studios' head of streaming and TV, expressed enthusiasm about the possibility of bringing back the street-level heroes: Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, and Iron Fist, collectively known as The Defenders.

While no plans are set in stone, Winderbaum shared his thoughts with EW, stating, “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 further emphasized the excitement and potential of this idea, saying, “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.”

*Daredevil: Born Again* is set to be a direct continuation of the *Daredevil* narrative that began on Netflix. The platform once hosted its own Marvel universe, albeit on a smaller scale, with series like *Jessica Jones*, *Iron Fist*, and *Luke Cage*. Winderbaum's comments suggest that *Daredevil: Born Again* could serve as a springboard to reintroduce these characters on Disney Plus, aligning them with Disney's vision. Notably, the new season will feature Jon Bernthal reprising his role as The Punisher, marking another successful transition of a Netflix hero to Disney's platform.

As we eagerly await *Daredevil: Born Again*, set to premiere on March 4, it remains to be seen how this series will weave into the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and potentially pave the way for a *Defenders* revival.
