Charlie Cox’s portrayal of Daredevil has seamlessly transitioned from the Netflix universe into the heart of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), sparking renewed interest in other potential returns from *The Defenders* lineup. Following this successful crossover, Finn Jones—who played Danny Rand/Iron Fist—has publicly expressed his readiness to reprise the role, stating, “I’m here and I’m ready.”

Jones last appeared as Iron Fist seven years ago in Season 2 of the character's standalone series and in *The Defenders*, where he joined forces with Daredevil (Charlie Cox), Luke Cage (Mike Colter), and Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) to form the unlikely superhero team. While his version of Iron Fist received a more polarizing reception compared to the other Defenders, the recent revival of Daredevil in the MCU has reignited discussions about potentially continuing *The Defenders* story within the larger MCU framework.

During a recent appearance at LaConve, an anime convention held in Monterrey, NL, Mexico, Jones addressed past criticisms head-on. When asked whether he would return to the role, he acknowledged both fan skepticism and his own determination to prove himself:

“There is a willingness for the fans to see that happen,” Jones said. “There’s also 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***ing chance, man. I’m here and I’m ready. I want to prove people wrong. So I would love to see that happen.”

With *Daredevil: Born Again* serving as a direct continuation of the Netflix-era Daredevil storyline, the former Netflix Marvel shows—including *Jessica Jones*, *Luke Cage*, and *Iron Fist*—have now been officially integrated into MCU canon on Disney+. The inclusion of Jon Bernthal’s Punisher, previously exclusive to Netflix, further reinforces this expanded continuity and opens the door for more characters to return.
