Check out their social media updates below:
Fans have reacted positively to the possibility of seeing Finn Jones' Iron Fist and Mike Colter’s Luke Cage appear in the MCU.XuserMrDubyapoints out Danny Rand didn’t shine in Netflix’sIron Fist, and he only started to display his full potential inLuke Cage. If he returns inDaredevil: Born Againseason 2, Marvel Studios could do the character justice.
XuserColby_Rvoices excitement about the possibility of having Iron Fist and Luke Cage joinMatt Murdock’s insurgent armyinDaredevil: Born Againseason 2. At the end of season 1, Daredevil’s army consists of a few civilians and a couple of police officers. In season 2, Daredevil’s army could be a full-fledged Defenders revival, if Luke Cage and Iron Fist join Daredevil and Jessica Jones.
What Mike Colter And Finn Jones Being In New York City Means
Colter & Jones' Current Whereabouts Make Luke Cage & Iron Fist Likely To Return
Mike Colter and Finn Jones' simultaneous visit to New York means Luke Cage and Iron Fist have never been more likely to join the MCU proper.The fact that Mike Colter left a comment on Finn Jones' update post supports this idea, and the fact thatMarvel’s upcomingDaredevil: Born Againseason 2 is currently filmingin New York raises the likelihood of their return to the max. However, Colter and Jones' return as Cage and Rand can only be corroborated once the actors and Marvel Studios officially confirm it.
Previously, Jon Bernthal’s return as the Punisher and Krysten Ritter’s return as Jessica Jones was the subject of speculation. Ritter, in particular, had dropped several hints about her return on social media, ranging from caption references to Jessica Jones to photos of her iconic leather jacket. Eventually, speculation turned out to be accurate. A few years before, Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio also addressed their potential return ambiguously beforeSpider-Man: No Way HomeandHawkeyeproved fan speculation correct.
Our Take On Mike Colter And Finn Jones Being In New York City
Luke Cage & Iron Fist Deserve A Second Chance
Luke Cage and Iron Fist had their good moments in Netflix’sDefendersfranchise, but they never got to rise to the same level of popularity or prominence as Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and the Punisher. Now that several of Netflix’s Marvel characters have returned and joined the MCU, it would be odd for Luke Cage and Iron Fist not to return as well. What’s more,Daredevil: Born Againseason 2’s plot affects every vigilante in New York, meaningLuke CageandIron Fistwill be involved in the conflict one way or the other.Rather than them taking part off-screen, Marvel could easily integrate the Heroes for Hire into Daredevil’s story.
