TL;DR

- He likened fan demand for the team-up to Oasis’s 20-year wait and a hypothetical ABBA comeback.
- Daredevil: Born Again Season 3 is set to premiere in March 2027 for an eight-episode run.
- UK viewers can stream the show on Disney+, with plans starting at £5.99 a month.
Why Colter is drawing the Oasis and ABBA comparison
Colter, who plays Luke Cage across the Marvel Cinematic Universe, told Collider that fandom doesn’t run on a clock. He pointed to Oasis’s reunion after two decades apart and argued that even ABBA could sell out arenas if the group ever got back together.
Turning the comparison to his own character, Colter said, “There’s always someone who wants to see that greatness.” He added that he and his co-stars will be ready whenever Marvel decides to bring The Defenders back together on screen, according to Collider.
The Defenders’ road back to Daredevil: Born Again
Speculation about a reunion built for months. Set photos from a Brooklyn courthouse in April showed Colter and Finn Jones filming alongside Krysten Ritter, all but confirming that Luke Cage, Iron Fist and Jessica Jones would share a screen again for the first time since 2017’s The Defenders.
Charlie Cox, who plays Matt Murdock, has separately said his version of Daredevil won’t be part of the upcoming Avengers: Secret Wars crossover, keeping the character’s focus on his own Hell’s Kitchen storyline. Season 3 reportedly picks up six months after the Season 2 finale, with Murdock in prison and former mayor Wilson Fisk exiled and rebuilding his criminal empire, according to Comic Basics.
