Jessica Jones Must Return to Save the Day After Daredevil: Born Again’s Shocking Finale!

by

In the final episode of “Daredevil: Born Again” Season 1, an essential group is established and it offers a compelling reason for a classic character to resurface. Episode 9 portrayed New York City in the Marvel Cinematic Universe slipping into turmoil under Kingpin’s reign. Following Bullseye’s assassination attempt on Fisk, a city-wide power outage led to pandemonium on the streets. To strengthen his crusade against vigilantes, Fisk exploits the chaos of that night to enforce a prohibition on masked vigilante activities. As the city comes under Martial Law, the season concludes with Matt assembling a team to confront Fisk one last time.

Currently, Daredevil’s team includes Karen, Cherry, Josie, and Angie Kim. To guarantee victory, more members are necessary. Given Matt’s past Marvel collaboration, there are several likely prospects for recruitment. Jessica Jones, who previously worked with Daredevil in The Defenders, could prove to be a valuable addition to his team. With whispers of Jessica’s comeback circulating for years and actress Krysten Ritter expressing her own interest, it seems crucial that the second season brings back this Defenders ally.

Jessica Jones Is The Defenders Member Most Vulnerable To Kingpin

Jessica dwells in New York City much like Matt does, which means she’s directly experiencing the impact of Fisk’s rule. However, compared to Matt, Jessica might be more vulnerable due to her public persona. Unlike Matt who has a secret identity, Jessica is well-known for her exploits against villains such as Kilgrave and the Hand. Her detective agency flourished from the fame she gained during these battles, though it’s uncertain if she ever agreed to the Sokovia Accords. Still, her high profile could potentially put her in a more precarious position.

Following the occurrences in the first season of “Daredevil: Born Again,” Fisk has grown increasingly hostile towards vigilantes as they begin to uncover his true plans. His goal is to apprehend them all, and he’s already proven successful with a few vigilantes currently imprisoned. Among the Defenders, Jessica is the one most susceptible to Kingpin’s impending rule because she doesn’t have a secret identity. Given her popularity, particularly in New York City, it seems reasonable that she would attract attention from city officials, potentially the mayor.

Will Jessica Jones Become Part Of Daredevil’s Army?

It’s quite likely that Jessica, joining forces with other Defenders, may find herself part of Daredevil’s forces in the second season of “Born Again”. Marvel Television’s head, Brad Winderbaum, has hinted at the return of more Netflix Marvel heroes since the latest “Daredevil” series began. Fan excitement for a Defenders reunion in the actual MCU is already high, and given the success of “Born Again”, the studio would likely receive a positive response if they decided to bring them back.

It’s evident that Marvel is gradually expanding Daredevil’s team, and keeping the full lineup under wraps was a shrewd move. There are numerous characters who could take up arms against Fisk, like Echo and Kate Bishop, and the Defenders would seamlessly blend with them. If Marvel seeks another straightforward method to connect the former Netflix series with the main MCU narrative, introducing Jessica Jones and the Defenders in the battle against Fisk during Daredevil: Born Again season 2 could provide a great link.
