Luke Cage and Danny Rand are now anticipated to return as well, since Krysten Ritter is scheduled to reprise Jessica Jones in Season 2.
A street-level superhero crossover was hinted at by show-runner
Dario Scardapane
. This was established in Season 1 when Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) had to gather an army of insurgents because the odds were stacked against him. Danny acknowledged that this would have been the perfect time to bring in the defenders, but they wanted to "create a completely organic" build-up to that reunion.
"When you're working in what I would call the Hell's Kitchen corner of the MCU, those iconic characters are always in your mind," he told Entertainment Weekly.
"...You want to bring in people and relationships and past figures in Matt's life because they help the story,' he further elaborated.
Born Again is the perfect opportunity for the Defenders' MCU debut. Depending on audience reception, the show could also be a launch pad for Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, and Iron Fist spinoffs. Born Again could resolve their storylines.
