Charlie Cox's successful transition from Netflix's Daredevil to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has sparked speculation about potential comebacks for other members of The Defenders. Finn Jones, who portrayed Danny Rand, also known as Iron Fist, in the Netflix series, has expressed his eagerness to return to the role. Jones last played Iron Fist in Season 2 of the series and in the crossover event, The Defenders, where he teamed up with Charlie Cox's Daredevil, Mike Colter's Luke Cage, and Krysten Ritter's Jessica Jones.
Despite the lukewarm reception to Jones' portrayal of Iron Fist compared to other Defenders characters, the actor remains hopeful. At LaConve, an anime convention in Monterrey, NL, Mexico, Jones addressed the criticism he received and voiced his desire for another chance. He acknowledged the mixed feelings among fans but emphasized his readiness to prove himself, stating, "Give me a f***ing chance, man. I’m here and I’m ready. I want to prove people wrong. So I would love to see that happen."
The integration of the Netflix shows into the MCU canon, highlighted by Daredevil's continuation in "Daredevil: Born Again" and the return of Jon Bernthal's Punisher, has fueled speculation about a potential revival of The Defenders. Reports suggest that Marvel is exploring the possibility of bringing back these characters, adding to the excitement and anticipation among fans.
