Finn Jones Acknowledges Iron Fist Critiques, Eager to Redeem Character

Charlie Cox's successful transition from Netflix to the MCU as Daredevil has sparked speculation about potential comebacks for other members of The Defenders. Finn Jones, who portrayed Iron Fist, recently expressed his eagerness to return to the role, stating, "I’m here and I’m ready." Jones last played Danny Rand in Season 2 of the Iron Fist series on Netflix and in The Defenders, where he teamed up with Daredevil/Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), Luke Cage (Mike Colter), and Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter).

Despite the less favorable reception to Jones' portrayal of Iron Fist compared to the other Defenders, the integration of Daredevil into the MCU has reignited hopes for a revival of The Defenders. Recent reports suggest that Marvel is "exploring" this possibility.

At the LaConve anime convention in Monterrey, NL, Mexico, Jones addressed the criticism he received for his role as Iron Fist. He acknowledged the fans' mixed feelings about his potential return, saying, "There is a willingness for the fans to see that happen. There’s a lot of willingness for the fans to see that not happen as well. I’m very aware of the critiques of the character and my role in it. My response to that is like, give me a f\*\*\*ing chance, man. I’m here and I’m ready. I want to prove people wrong. So I would love to see that happen."

Daredevil: Born Again continues the story from the Netflix series, which was part of a smaller-scale Marvel universe that included shows like Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage. These shows, along with the broader Defenders narrative, are now officially part of the MCU canon and available on Disney+. Additionally, Jon Bernthal's Punisher, previously exclusive to Netflix, will also appear in Daredevil: Born Again.
