The Defenders
BeforeWandaVisionand the ascension of the MCU - Disney+ era of television , there were several other tv display , whether on meshing channels or other streaming service , that fans could enjoy . Of course , the Marvel - Netflix series likeDaredevilandJessica Joneswere fabulously popular , yet for a time , these show existed singly from the mainline MCU . That is , until Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio reprised their roles as Matt Murdock aka Daredevil and Kingpin inSpider - Man : No Way HomeandHawkeye , respectively . This instantly get fans activated to see more of these fiber get the attention they deserve , with some sharing theory on Reddit as to how other characters formerly from Netflix could be re-introduce .
Keep What Works, Get Rid of What Doesn’t
For yr the Netflix serial remained separate to the main MCU . The upshot ofThe Avengersand Loki ’s onrush on New York City were only ever reference as “ the Incident , ” and nothing from the shows ever found their way into other properties before the series ’ cancellation . However , now fans are expecting these shows to be actively incorporated into the enfranchisement , especially withDaredevilgetting a quaternary time of year on Disney+ .
u / Ummmmmm_25claims , “ It makes sense to just reintroduce the characters , hold on the material from those series that fans liked ( D’Onofrio , Charlie Cox , Jon Bernthal , Krystin Ritter ) and reworking the … uh … less honest stuff ( Iron Fist ) . ” This is something many fans agree with – that even Charlie Cox ’s reprisal is part of a cherry - picking by Kevin Feige and Marvel Studio executives . This might mean some things or character reference could be left alone to collect detritus .
Variants
Despite all the serial being on Disney+ , there are still some buff who do n’t believe that the show lock as part of the main canyon – that these shows take place on one of the alternate globe in the multiverse . This is an idea that also apply to shows likeAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D.orRunaways.u / Scottyflamingosupports this estimate , compose “ I believe the Netflix present will be retconned as time variants . ”
This would essentially allow for the MCU to reboot the characters and stories as part of the main continuity . However , this put a keen question as to whether they will in reality recognize these characters as variants or if they foil the multiverse . regrettably , something like this approximation could pass to a reality - ending incursion – though that could be their plan .
She-Hulk, Hero Attorney
One of the most permeant possibility surrounding these eccentric ’ fates in the MCU is that several could be reincorporated in the approaching Disney+ series , She - whale : Attorney at Law . It ’s alreadytheorized by many rooter that Cox will reprise as Matt Murdockwhether as an ally to Tatianna Maslany ’s Jennifer Walters and/or opposite her in court of justice .
u / JesseKatspolis88thinks “ Daredevil and Jessica Jones could be in She - Hulk and finally introduce The Netflix Marvel graphic symbol into The MCU . “ Jessica Jones , played by Krysten Ritter , is probably at the top of fans ’ lists of Netflix characters who should retrovert and give way her history with Jennifer in the comics , this seems like a serious thought . She could be working as a PI during or after the Blip , help to reunify families . or else , Foggy Nelson and Karen Page could also return alongside Matt in the show , premiering on August 17th .
Echo Brings The Team Back
Another good wager for some of these characters isEcho . The serial recently started film and will follow Alaqua Cox as Maya Lopez , aka Echo , followingHawkeye . It is sustain that she will be joined by Vincent D’Onofrio and Charlie Cox too – reunite Kingpin and Daredevil together.u / Jarrirosays “ this Echo show will have swashbuckler in it and could be used to in good order introduce some of the Marvel Netflix characters like Punisher or Luke Cage . ”
significantly , this show will find Echo leaving New York City – thus minimizing the voltage for other character to appear – to deliver to her hometown and reconnect with her roots . However , it will likely boast some flashbacks , which could have her fighting against Daredevil or other members of the Defenders as part of the Tracksuit Mafia .
Colleen Wing, Iron Fist
One thing that many fan do n’t require is a reprisal of the Iron Fist as it was presented inIron clenched fist . Though the series had in high spirits viewership , it was negatively received , with lover and critics citing a pitiful performance by the Pb Finn Jones , and the white savior story at the core of the characters . As such , many hold that there needs to be extra care assume in bringing this character back .
However , u / ghostrider8303says there might be a simpler solvent , “ Iron Fist series could in theory just continue from where it left off . At the death of time of year 2 , Danny Rand was no longer the protagonist and Colleen Wing had become the novel Iron Fist . ” Jessica Henwick as Colleen Wing was a glow light inIron Fist , so fans would love to see her back , and even substantially if she just becomes the Modern Iron Fist . Henwick , in fact , turned down the role of Xialing inShang - Chi and the Legend of the Ten Ringswith the Bob Hope that she can come back as Colleen Wing before long .
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Iron Fist
Should the MCU select to regenerate Danny Rand as the one - true Immortal Iron Fist instead of Colleen Wing , they might need to take a varlet out of another character ’s volume . Especially now that he has approach to the muscular Ten Rings , Shang - Chi is frankly , everything thatIron Fist ’s Danny wishes he could be as a fighter . Nevertheless , many fans still hold out hope that the MCU Iron Fist can become as coolheaded and respected as he is in the funnies .
u / pansexualpastapot suggests having Shang - Chi “ cross paths with Danny , have him teach Danny how to really use the branding iron fist to its potential . Make him a better Hero of Alexandria . ” WhileShang - Chi 2will likely focus on the origin of the rings – peradventure link up them toKamala ’s bangles inMs . Marvelas some theorize – it could still be the right post to reintroduce Iron Fist .
Heroes For Hire
The benefit of bringing these characters back is that they can last team up beyond the Defenders . Specifically , there ’s the Daughters of the Dragon with Colleen Wing fromIron Fistand Misty Knight fromLuke Cage , and the Heroes for Hire with those show ’s titular heroes . The latter could be another great way to revitalise Danny Rand ’s Iron Fist .
u / lordVader1138theorizes “ Only Iron Fist and Luke Cage did n’t blip . They were only survivors from Defenders , and to hold some constancy in pandemonium . They have formed the Heroes for Hire squad to solve some crime . ” This not only sounds like an exciting way to reintroduce these heroes , but a Disney+ mini - serial publication like this would also receipt their office in the large MCU with the Blip or other occurrences that they missed during their hiatus from television .
Iron Punisher
There was a bunch of concern after it was announced that these shows would be moving to Disney+ given the amount of violence and blood in them , especially inThePunisher . Nevertheless , Moon KnightandDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessshortly continued with their special take on activity and gore . It will be interesting to see how Punisher will manoeuver under these unexampled parametric quantity , whether in a third time of year of his show or if he shows up elsewhere .
Many fan are eager to see him next and have theorized when he might arrive.u / Lanky - Godsays “ I see Armor Wars being the most realistic because they can give him the punisher warfare machine suit , then eventually in another serial bring him into fisk related [ stuff ] . ” Punisher would certainly add an unexpected border toArmor Wars , and he could act as an antagonist to Rhodey like he did inDaredevilseason two – thoughthere are several other option for villains inArmor Wars .
Dark Avengers
gratefully , these show had some of the adept villains throughout all the MCU with David Tennant ’s Kilgrave , D’Onofrio ’s Kingpin , and Wilson Bethel ’s Bullseye . The former will probably boast again inDaredevilseason four as an antagonist , though he could also appear elsewhere.u / Flookawrites , “ There are signs they are build up to a Dark Avengers , and if some I really hope they bring him back as Bullseye was the team ’s Hawkeye ”
In fact , there are more than signs now , as aThunderboltsfilm was recently denote . The Thunderbolts were the predecessors to the Dark Avengers – they were villains who reform themselves into anti - heroes , whereas the Dark Avengers were villains posing as heroes . Bullseye is one of several viable candidate for such a teaminThunderbolts .
Hellcat and the Thunderbolts
One of the most perplexing story arcs in the Netflix series was that of Trish Walker aka Hellcat inJessica Jones . She started out as her adoptive baby and best friend , but over the course of the three seasons , their human relationship devolve . Trish gains king but presently loses her sanity and Jessica is forced to get her sent aside to the Raft , the superintendent - prison house sport inCaptain America : Civil War .
It would feel foreign to not see Trish , so some fans theorized how she could be reintegrate , withu / blackbutterfreethinking “ She gets inscribe and train by S.W.O.R.D. in exchange for a reduce judgment of conviction and intensive therapy . ” This would make her similar to Ghost fromAnt - valet and the Wasp , and could mean she is also part of the Thunderbolts – but most significantly this could grant for Trish to really be featured as Hellcat .
