Charlie Cox's successful transition from Netflix to the MCU as Daredevil has sparked speculation about potential comebacks for other members of The Defenders. Finn Jones, who portrayed Iron Fist, recently expressed his eagerness to reprise his role, stating at LaConve in Monterrey, NL, Mexico, "I’m here and I’m ready."
Jones last appeared as Danny Rand in the second season of the Iron Fist Netflix series and in The Defenders, where he teamed up with Daredevil (Charlie Cox), Luke Cage (Mike Colter), and Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter). Despite the mixed reception to his portrayal, Jones remains hopeful and open to returning to the character.
The integration of Daredevil into the MCU, particularly with the upcoming series Daredevil: Born Again, has fueled optimism about the potential revival of The Defenders. This series continues the story from the Netflix version, which is now officially part of the MCU canon, alongside other shows and films on Disney+. Jon Bernthal's Punisher, another character from the Netflix universe, will also appear in Daredevil: Born Again.
Jones addressed the criticism of his Iron Fist performance at the convention, acknowledging the fans' mixed feelings. He expressed a strong desire to prove his detractors wrong, saying, "Give me a f***ing chance, man. I want to prove people wrong. So I would love to see that happen."
