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 enthusiasm for a return, stating at LaConve, an anime convention in Monterrey, NL, Mexico, "I’m here and I’m ready."
Jones last played Danny Rand in the second season of the Netflix series Iron Fist in 2018 and in The Defenders, where he teamed up with Daredevil (Charlie Cox), Luke Cage (Mike Colter), and Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter). Despite his eagerness, Jones' portrayal of Iron Fist received mixed reactions from fans, leading to uncertainty about Marvel's plans for the character in the MCU.
The revival of Daredevil in the MCU has fueled hopes for a broader Defenders comeback, with recent reports suggesting that Marvel is "exploring" the possibility. At the convention, Jones addressed the criticism he faced, acknowledging both the support and the detractors among fans. He urged them and Marvel to give him another opportunity, saying, "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."
