The MCU Has To Bring Back Jessica Jones & Punisher Now, Right?

Charlie Cox's Daredevil is finally making his long-awaited return to the MCU, meaning that it's also time for Marvel to bring back Jessica Jones and The Punisher. While Daredevil is undoubtedly the most popular of the Defenders, Krysten Ritter's Jessica Jones and Jon Bernthal's Frank Castle are also the definitive versions of their respective characters. Since Marvel is bringing back Daredevil, they also have to bring back other Netflix characters like Jessica Jones and The Punisher - right?

Debuting in 2015, Daredevil was the first entry in the Defenders-verse, a long-term collaboration between Netflix and Marvel that would focus on expanding the MCU with several R-rated streaming series. While all of Netflix's MCU shows have ended, many viewers have been clamoring for Defenders-verse characters to be integrated into the MCU for years now. Since then, Daredevil and Wilson Fisk have made appearances in MCU projects, and the two are slated to appear in future shows like She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and Echo. At Comic-Con 2022, Marvel even announced an 18-episode Disney+ series titled Daredevil: Born Again, confirming that the MCU has plans to continue the Netflix series in a big way.

Daredevil is not the only popular Defenders-verse show, as Netflix's other five shows were successes, gaining devoted fanbases and garnering mostly positive reviews. The MCU hasn't made the Defenders-verse 100% canon just yet, but Charlie Cox's return is a good indicator that other elements from the Netflix shows will be ported over to the MCU. The Punisher and Jessica Jones are beloved characters, and with how close they are to Daredevil, it would only make sense to add them to the MCU sooner rather than later. Daredevil: Born Again getting an 18-episode order also indicates the success and immense popularity of the Netflix shows, as most of the Disney+ MCU shows are only six episodes. If Daredevil is popular enough to get three times more episodes than other MCU heroes, it only makes sense that Marvel would want to bring back equally popular characters like Jessica Jones and The Punisher.

While Marvel will likely bring back Jessica Jones and The Punisher, it is still unclear how they will do it. One possibility is that the two characters could appear in the upcoming series Daredevil: Born Again. Considering that it is 18-episodes, the show has a lot of time to fill, and bringing back some of Daredevil's peers would be the perfect way to do it. The MCU has to explain what Matt Murdock and The Defenders have been up to for the past few years, so appearances from Jessica and Frank would be warranted. It has been heavily rumored that Daredevil will be looking for Jessica Jones in She-Hulk, and if this storyline comes to fruition, it could pay off with her appearance in Born Again. The Punisher would also perfectly fit into the show, as he originally debuted in Daredevil season 2. While nothing is confirmed, there is no better time to bring back Jessica Jones and The Punisher than in Daredevil: Born Again.

The MCU's Phase 5 seems like it will have a heavy focus on new street-level characters like Daredevil, so it only makes sense to continue this by bringing Jessica Jones and The Punisher back into the MCU. Both characters are incredibly popular, have strong histories and fanbases, and are rumored to appear. So, whether it be in Daredevil: Born Again or somewhere else, the inclusion of Daredevil probably means that the MCU will also bring back Jessica Jones and The Punisher soon.

CBS' Ghosts: Every Main Ghost Time Period & Backstory Explained

One of CBS' newest sitcoms, Ghosts , features a cast full of spectral characters that each hail from a distinct time period and come with their own unique backstory and death. Though each of the eight ghosts has a wildly different perspective based on their different experiences throughout history, they nonetheless form a sort of family, which is one of the show's greatest charms. After all, being stuck with the same people for all of eternity allows for plenty of time to get to know each other. Ghosts , which is an adaptation of a BBC show of the same name, stars Utkarsh Ambudkar and Rose McIver (who played Liv Moore on five seasons of iZombie ) as Jay and Sam, a young couple who inherit a mansion in upstate New York. To their surprise, however, the house also comes with several ghostly inhabitants, who Sam is able to see after a near-death experience. These are Thorfinn (Devan Long), Sasappis (Román Zaragoza), Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones), Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky...

The Hateful Eight's Original Ending Explained (& Why Tarantino Changed It)

The Hateful Eight has an ending full of blood and betrayal, as expected from any Quentin Tarantino movie, but this wasn’t the original ending – here’s why he changed it. Tarantino has explored different genres throughout his career; though he’s best known for his crime movies like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction , he's also visited genres like martial arts (with both Kill Bill films) and black comedy ( Once Upon a Time in Hollywood ). In addition, he's shared his version of westerns with Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight , with the latter going through some problems and creative changes even before it began shooting. Set in 1870, Tarantino's The Hateful Eight follows eight strangers, all with different (and secret) motivations, who end up in a stagecoach lodge after seeking refuge from a blizzard. These characters are Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), John “The Hangman” Ruth (Kurt Russell), Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh), Chris Mannix (Walton Gog...

Why Spider-Man 3's Uncle Ben Retcon Doesn't Change Peter's Origin

Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 is often criticized for a major retcon made to Uncle Ben’s death , but this retcon ultimately doesn’t change Peter Parker’s classic origin story. Raimi’s third film in the iconic Spider-Man trilogy is often criticized, perhaps unfairly. While the film suffers from too many character arcs and plot threads and would have been better as two or three separate films, it does a more than adequate job adapting the Spider-Man comics and telling a sincere story about relatable, flawed, characters who are intertwined with the extraordinary, just as Stan Lee and Steve Ditko intended when co-creating the character. Uncle Ben’s retconned death may alter classic elements from the comic version, but it retains its most important aspects in regards to Peter’s characterization. 2002’s Spider-Man is, for much of the film’s first half, a faithful adaptation of Spider-Man’s 1962 origin story in issue 15 of the Amazing Fantasy comics. An awkward social pariah, Pete...
