Marvel Netflix Heroes Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, And Iron Fist Could Finally Be Coming To The MCU

Ever since Marvel’s Netflix shows were all canceled in 2019, fans have been wondering when or if those characters would show up in the MCU. Kevin Feige kept a “never say never” attitude about the whole thing, but it seemed unlikely to happen for numerous reasons. But with Charlie Cox, Vincent D’Onofrio, and Jon Bernthal all returning for Daredevil: Born Again, the door was kicked wide open for all of the Netflix characters to make a comeback, and now we know it’s being discussed.

According to Marvel Studios’ Brad Winderbaum in an interview with EW, conversations are happening about bringing Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and even Iron Fist into the MCU.

“I can’t say much, but I’ll tell you that it’s so exciting to be able to play in that sandbox,” Winderbaum said. “Obviously, we don’t have the unlimited storytelling resources like a comic book. If you can draw it, you can do it. It deals 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.”

Jessica Jones starred Krysten Ritter and ran for three seasons; Mike Colter starred in two seasons of Luke Cage; Finn Jones led two seasons of Iron Fist. There was also one season of The Defenders, a series that brought all of the Netflix heroes, including Daredevil, together for a team-up mission.

Marvel’s Netflix deal was wildly popular, even when some of the shows didn’t work (lookin’ at you, Iron Fist) as planned. There’s a reason why fans still talk about them today. We began seeing Cox’s Daredevil show up in the MCU during Spider-Man: No Way Home, with other appearances in Echo, Hawkeye, and She-Hulk.

Daredevil: Born Again hits Disney+ on March 4th.
