The chances of a third season for Daredevil are unclear as of right now, and it sounds as if the next place we'll see The Man Without Fear is in The Defenders based on comments from Charlie Cox yesterday. Now, the actor has shed some light on how that team will come together, seemingly confirming in the process that it's Daredevil who leads the team.
"He can’t do this alone. He’s been so adamant about being a lone wolf, about doing it himself, so I think that in order for him to get to The Defenders we needed this second season. We needed to see him be broken individually so that he can - he’s willing to form a team. The lesson that Matt has had to learn in the second season of Daredevil is that he needs help."
That sounds pretty much perfect, and Daredevil taking charge makes a lot of sense.
After all, he's by far the most popular of these heroes (though that could change when Luke Cage and Iron Fist hit Netflix) and you can understand why he'd turn to this lot for help against a threat as big as The Hand, assuming they're the big bads of The Defenders. If they are, that will leave the door open to Daredevil season three adapting "Born Again" as many of us have been hoping...
