More Entertainment: Chris Hemsworth Video Has Fans Thinking He's Leaving MCU A spin-off of the "Black Panther" films, "Eyes of Wakanda" will be a four-episode series that will be "hop-scotching through centuries." This means that each episode will be a stand-alone story in the country's history. For example, the first episode takes place in 1260 BC and follows "a disgraced former Dora Milaje named Noni" as she pursues a former Wakandan guard who became a pirate and sails under the moniker "The Lion." Needless to say, it seems that everything in this series will be unlike anything Marvel fans have seen before from the MCU. And maybe that's a good thing.

While Season 2 improved, it still only received a 55 percent critics' score. However, the audience scores were better, with Season 1 receiving 71 percent and Season 2 receiving 61 percent. Given that "Eyes of Wakanda" takes place across history, it will be interesting to see what time period Iron Fist will enter the series.

Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 teases Defenders MCU debut
Daredevil: Born Again that debuted early this year, follows Matt Murdock during one of the darkest chapters of his life. In the new Disney series, Matt finds himself fighting to survive as his world unravels. Armed with intimate knowledge of Matt's life, the Kingpin launches a brutal campaign to dismantle it—arranging his disbarment, freezing his assets, and destroying his personal reputation. Season 2 now teases the long-awaited debut of the full Defenders lineup in the Marvel Cinematic Universe . With Jessica Jones , Luke Cage, and Danny Rand officially part of MCU canon, it's only a matter of time before the team reunites on screen. Luke Cage and Iron Fist stars Mike Colter and Finn Jones teased as much, sharing Instagram stories that confirmed they're in New York at the same time (Colter even commented "My dude" on Jones' post). An observant fan found compelling evidence that further stoked the fire of this speculation. This gave fans the impression that they were filming sequences for Born Again, although they haven't responded to the rumours yet.

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.

Luke Cage and Iron Fist Reportedly Returning For DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN Season 2 — GeekTyrant
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. (Source: The Cosmic Circus)

Krysten Ritter Returning as Jessica Jones in 'Daredevil: Born Again' Season 2
Krysten Ritter will be returning as superhero Jessica Jones in the second season of Daredevil: Born Again, Disney announced Tuesday during Marvel's section of Disney Upfront 2025. Ritter starred as Jessica Jones during a three-season run of her titular show on Netflix, which ran from 2015-2019. The show moved from Netflix to Disney Plus in 2022 -- and was rebranded as "Marvel's Jessica Jones" -- along with Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Punisher and The Defenders. Daredevil: Born Again launched on Disney Plus in March this year, with CNET senior editor and head of streaming coverage Kourtnee Jackson saying it lives up to the hype of the original Daredevil Netflix series, and its comic book origin. "Daredevil: Born Again retains the same bite, viciousness and brilliance of the original and earns every bit of that TV-MA rating," Jackson wrote in her review. "The show packs in the shocks, drama, graphic, bloody brutality and a dose of introspection." Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again is expected in March 2026.
