New set photos from the production of Daredevil: Born Again Season 3 have revealed that the series will feature a reunion of several Marvel heroes, including Iron Fist and two other members of the Defenders superhero team. The highly anticipated Disney+ series is bringing together this trio of characters for the first time in several years, delighting fans who have been waiting to see them on screen together again.

Why it matters

The Defenders was a short-lived but popular Marvel TV series that brought together Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist. While the individual heroes have continued to appear in various Marvel projects, this will mark the first time the core Defenders team has reunited since the cancellation of their original show. The crossover is expected to generate significant excitement and interest among Marvel fans.

The details

Set photos captured outside a Brooklyn courthouse show actors Charlie Cox (Daredevil), Finn Jones (Iron Fist), and two other unidentified actors believed to be portraying Luke Cage and Jessica Jones. The images suggest the four heroes will be working together in some capacity during the events of Daredevil: Born Again, though the exact nature of their team-up remains unclear.

  • Daredevil: Born Again Season 3 is currently in production and is expected to premiere on Disney+ in 2024.
