This Defender’s Social Media Post Has Me Convinced The MCU Is Finally Bringing Back This Netflix Marvel Hero

by

Okay, Marvel fans, get ready to be excited! It looks like one of the old Defenders might be coming back to the MCU. After we thought that era of Marvel Netflix shows was over, Disney+ surprised us last year with Daredevil: Born Again. And it wasn’t just a reboot – the show continued the story we loved, bringing back favorites like Charlie Cox as Daredevil and Vincent D’Onofrio as the Kingpin. It really felt like a continuation of that darker, grittier corner of the Marvel Universe, and now it seems like even more of those characters could be joining the fun.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe will continue to see characters from the Netflix-era shows return, with Krysten Ritter reprising her role as Jessica Jones in the second season of Born Again in 2026. And she might not be the only familiar face – there are hints that other heroes from The Defenders might also be making a comeback.

Marvel fans think Luke Cage, played by Mike Colter, might be coming back to television after a recent Instagram post by Rachael Taylor, who plays Jessica Jones. Taylor shared the post to celebrate her return to the role, but fans noticed a comment from Colter – just an eye emoji – which has sparked a lot of excitement about a possible Luke Cage return.

Fans have been wondering for a while if Josh Brolin would return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Back in May, rumors started when he—along with another actor from the Defenders series—was reportedly in New York City while filming was underway for the second season of Daredevil: Born Again.

I’ve been following the news about Luke Cage, and it’s exciting to hear Mike Colter seems more open to returning to the Marvel Universe! He used to say he wasn’t sure if we’d ever see his character again, but recently he hinted that “anything can happen.” It’s been a while – we last saw Luke Cage on screen back in 2018 with Season 2 of the Netflix show, and I’m hoping we get to see what happens next with him!

Will Luke Cage Come Back in Daredevil: Born Again? 

For a long time, it seemed like Netflix’s superhero team, the Defenders, were a thing of the past. With Marvel now making its own shows and movies for streaming, many people thought they’d restart the team with a mix of old and new actors. But it looks like that’s not what’s happening.

Although it hasn’t been officially announced, there’s a good chance we might see Mike Colter reprise his role as Luke Cage in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With Daredevil: Born Again already bringing back six popular characters from the old Netflix Marvel shows, it’s certainly possible more familiar faces could appear.

The popular show’s next season will focus on Matt Murdock, played by Charlie Cox, as he gathers allies to fight Wilson Fisk (D’Onofrio) and his new task force. Given his past team-up with Luke Cage, it’s likely Murdock will seek his help again.

With Krysten Ritter reprising her role as Jessica Jones, many fans are hoping for a full reunion of the Defenders team. While it might not happen immediately in the second season of Born Again, most people now believe Luke Cage (Mike Colter) will eventually return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The signs are simply too strong to dismiss.

If Finn Jones reprises his role as Iron Fist and Elodie Yung returns as Elektra, it would complete the return of all the Marvel heroes from the Netflix series to the main Marvel universe.
