After 11 Years, Two Major Marvel Netflix Characters Finally Meet Face-To-Face

by

Be warned: this article reveals key plot points from Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, Episode 8. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is bringing two of its most popular characters together for the first time in a new release planned for 2026. This year is shaping up to be big for Marvel, and they’re starting strong. Before the release of films like Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Avengers: Doomsday, several Marvel TV shows and other projects will be available.

Wow, this year is all about Marvel bringing everyone together! I’m seeing crossovers everywhere, not just in the films, but on Disney+ too. Take “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” – they’ve cleverly woven in Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk and Jon Bernthal’s Punisher. But “Avengers: Doomsday” is the real event – it’s a massive party with heroes from every corner of the MCU. We’re talking original Infinity Saga faces, newcomers from the Multiverse Saga, and even characters from the X-Men universe, originally from Fox! It’s a truly epic scale of team-up.

Marvel’s upcoming shows are starting to connect in various ways. The highly anticipated “Daredevil: Born Again,” set to release in 2026, is a prime example. We’re seeing both small connections – like the character Swordsman (played by Tony Dalton) appearing after being in “Hawkeye” and the first season of “Daredevil: Born Again” – and larger, more significant crossovers.

Jessica Jones and Kingpin first shared a scene together in the eighth episode of Daredevil: Born Again. This long-awaited meeting happened eleven years after the characters were first introduced into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Wilson Fisk appeared in the first season of Daredevil, and Jessica Jones had her own series, both of which premiered in 2015.

Jessica Jones And Kingpin’s First Face-To-Face Meeting Was Perfect

Though Jessica Jones and Kingpin didn’t share much screen time in the season 2 finale of Daredevil: Born Again, their one scene together lived up to expectations. As Fisk left the courtroom, he passed Jessica and commented on her decision to support Daredevil. Jessica quickly made it clear she disliked him, warning, “Watch yourself, Kingpin.”

Throughout their eleven years in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the characters hadn’t interacted until now. Their first meeting was intense, just as fans anticipated. Jessica made it very clear she strongly disliked Kingpin and wouldn’t be easily controlled. Having dealt with a manipulative villain like Killgrave in her own series, Jessica immediately shut down any attempts by Kingpin to influence her. She then stood with Daredevil as Mayor Fisk faced defeat, holding back citizens who tried to approach him.

How Jessica Jones And Kingpin Could Cross Paths Again In Daredevil: Born Again Season 3

Okay, so Daredevil: Born Again season 2 left me with a lot to think about. Seeing Kingpin, all alone on a gorgeous beach after losing Vanessa was genuinely heartbreaking. But the biggest surprise? Marvel finally brought Luke Cage back – Mike Colter, of course – and confirmed he’s Danielle’s father, Jessica Jones’ daughter! That really opens up some exciting possibilities for their dynamic. And it seems like we’ll be seeing even more of this crossover in the future. Set photos from what’s planned for season 3 show Jessica teaming up with Luke, who’s already back in the MCU fold, and even Finn Jones’ Iron Fist. It’s a smart move that could really pay off in 2027 and beyond.

Photos from the set of Daredevil: Born Again season 3 (shared on X by @_DaredevilShots) show Wilson Fisk, also known as Kingpin, returning to New York City. He’s sporting a full beard and appears to be in hiding. This suggests that both Kingpin and Daredevil will be operating in the same city when the new season of the Marvel series airs.

Now that Kingpin has been defeated and removed from office, it’s unclear if he’ll return as a villain, or if the show has other plans for him. If he tries to regain power while Matt Murdock is incarcerated, Jessica Jones will be the one to stop him in the third season of Daredevil: Born Again.
