New Rumor Claims Finn Jones Will Return to the Role of IRON FIST in DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN
Daredevil (Charlie Cox) made the jump as the first of the Defenders from his Netflix series to Disney+, ushering him into the MCU. That lead to the welcoming of Frank Castle, aka Punisher (Jon Bernthal), to join him, and this season will see Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter).
Mike Colter has dropped hints that he’s been in talks to return to play Luke Cage as well, so that just leaves Finn Jones, who played Danny Rand, aka Iron Fist, in the Netflix shows. He was the most divisive of the Defenders castings, and while some fans have been vocal about their hopes for a recast, some feel like he didn’t get a fair shake.
Jones agrees, as he said in a statement last year about possibly joining the MCU, “[There’s a] willingness for the fans to see that happen. There’s a lot of willingness for the fans to see that not happen as well. I’m very aware of the critiques of the character and my role in it.
My response to that is like, give me a f*cking chance, man. I’m here and I’m ready. I want to prove people wrong. So I would love to see that happen.”
So could he return? According to @Cryptic4KQual (via CBM), the plan is for Jones to step back into the role of Danny Rand, and if he doesn't actually appear in season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again, his return will be teased.
