"Iron Fist's Finn Jones Acknowledges Criticism, Seeks Redemption"

Charlie Cox's successful transition from Netflix to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (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 return to the role, stating at LaConve, an anime convention in Monterrey, NL, Mexico, "I’m here and I’m ready." Jones last played Danny Rand in Season 2 of the Iron Fist Netflix series and in The Defenders, where he teamed up with Daredevil/Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), Luke Cage (Mike Colter), and Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter).

Despite Jones' enthusiasm, his portrayal of Iron Fist received mixed reviews from fans, leading to uncertainty about whether Marvel would include the character in future MCU projects. However, the integration of Daredevil into the MCU and recent reports suggesting Marvel is "exploring" the idea of bringing back The Defenders have reignited hopes for a revival.

During the convention, Jones addressed the criticism he faced, acknowledging the fans' mixed feelings. He stated, "There is a willingness for the fans to see that happen. There’s 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."

"Daredevil: Born Again" is a direct continuation of the story that began on Netflix, which once housed a smaller-scale Marvel universe with shows like Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage. These series, along with the broader Defenders narrative, are now officially part of the MCU canon and available on Disney+. Jon Bernthal's Punisher, previously exclusive to Netflix, also makes an appearance in "Daredevil: Born Again," further solidifying the integration of these characters into the MCU.
