Luke Cage and Iron Fist Reportedly Returning For DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN Season 2
According to a new report from The Cosmic Circus, both Luke Cage and Danny Rand aka Iron Fist may appeare in Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, which will reunite most of The Defenders lineup under the Marvel Studios banner.
This news comes from a Q&A with Cosmic Circus insider Alex Perez, who suggested the team is being folded back into the evolving Marvel television landscape. He believes the entirety of The Defenders will appear in the show at some point.
Jessica Jones is already invilved and is rumored to be helping Matt Murdock in his crusade, but when asked to tease Danny Rand’s future, Perez said:
“You know that trope of the once-powerful character who, after an incident happens, decides to retire his mantle and refuses to have anything to do with it, until a younger protagonist type hero forces him out of his funk to become a mentor to the next-generation hero?”
So, if this is true, it sounds like Marvel could be lining up a legacy-style passing of the torch. Whether that means a full-on recast, a soft reboot, or just Danny reluctantly training a new Iron Fist remains to be seen.
As for Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, the cast will see the return of Charlie Cox, Vincent D’Onofrio, and Krysten Ritter, alongside newcomers and returning characters like Margarita Levieva (Heather Glenn), Deborah Ann Woll (Karen Page), Wilson Bethel (Bullseye), Nikki M. James (Kirsten McDuffie), Genneya Walton (BB Urich), Clark Johnson (Cherry), Michael Gandolfini (Daniel Blake), Ayelet Zurer (Vanessa Fisk), and even Matthew Lillard in a currently undisclosed role.
The second season of Daredevil: Born Again is expected to hit Disney+ in March 2026. With Marvel slowly reweaving its old Netflix threads into a new MCU tapestry, it will be interesting to see how they implement these characters into the story.
