Will Daredevil and Luke Cage reunite?
The possibility of a Defenders reunion is on many fans’ minds. During a recent appearance on Shawn Stockman’s On That Note (via Screen Rant), Mike Colter revealed he’s “had conversations” regarding Luke Cage’s potential return to the MCU. He also admitted that his character may “have some unfinished business there.” Colter’s words are like embers of hope for those yearning to see the iconic hero back in action.
Listen, I will say this: I’ve had conversations. I would tell people no, because I actually was like, when it wrapped, ‘I love playing Luke Cage, but I also just […] love acting. I love doing different things.
[I may] have some unfinished business there.
You know, Daredevil’s back. So I’m like ‘bring the defenders back. Bring Jessica back.’
So, with all these potential comebacks and fresh starts, which character’s return would shake up the MCU the most?
