Netflix’s Marvel TV series have gradually been integrated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Spider-Man: No Way Home got the ball rolling with the inclusion of Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock as Peter Parker’s lawyer. The integration continued with Disney+’s\u00a0Daredevil: Born Again. The series established the Netflix universe as MCU\u00a0canon, and featured Jon Bernthal’s comeback as Frank Castle. Now, Krysten Ritter will be returning as Jessica Jones in Season 2 of the Man Without Fear’s standalone show.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite that, there are still two major missing characters from the Defenders saga in the current MCU: Mike Colter’s Luke Cage and Finn Jones’ Iron Fist. The former was actually referenced in Born Again, with an advertisement for\u00a0Harlem’s Paradise being featured<\/strong><\/a> in a scene. Even with that, however, Colter’s return has remained uncertain. Now, the actor has sparked speculation he may be in line to make his way into the MCU with a cryptic social media comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Krysten Ritter recently posted an image of herself as Jessica Jones alongside Charlie Cox’s Daredevil from Born Again’s second season:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Colter commented on the post with an “eyes” emoji:<\/p>\n

The interaction was quickly flooded with responses from fans, expressing their excitement about seeing the actor donning Cage’s signature yellow t-shirt once again. Users on the r\/marvelstudios subreddit<\/strong><\/a> also shared their hopes\u00a0of seeing Colter\u00a0back in the role.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s worth noting that in August 2025, scoopers Daniel Richtman and MyTimeToShineHello both stated<\/strong><\/a> Mike Colter will be the MCU’s Luke Cage.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While a rumor, Colter himself has spoken about coming back as Cage a few times in the past. Talking to Comicbook.com<\/strong><\/a> in 2024, for example, the actor was asked if he’d like to play the character again, to which he stated:\u00a0“I would love to explore it, if they found some story, some way, somewhere, to take it. And I’m happy that Charlie Cox and those are getting it rebooted, but I don’t have any [idea if Luke Cage is getting rebooted]. I’m not holding anything back.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking at Indiana Comic Con\u00a0in early 2025 (via Collider<\/strong><\/a>), Colter stated that, though he didn’t think about it anymore, he still had hopes of embodying the invulnerable hero once again:\u00a0“I still have hopes for it. I don’t think about it anymore. I think there’s always time. I don’t think it’s impossible. Anything can happen.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Then, during an appearance at Edmonton Expo in\u00a0September 2025, Colter offered perhaps the biggest hint so far<\/strong><\/a> that fans\u00a0would indeed see more from his Power Man in live-action:\u00a0“I don’t know why people keep asking me this. There are no signs. It’s not like they’ve just recently revived one of the Marvel Netflix shows.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 is expected to release on Disney+ on March 4, 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n
