Daredevil: Born Again Season 3 Sparks Rumors Of Marvel Hero's Return After MCU Star Confirms Set Visit

A major Marvel hero may be headed for Hell’s Kitchen for Daredevil: Born Again season three.

Picking up where Netflix’s Daredevil left off, the Disney+ series stars Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock/Daredevil and Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin. Born Again has been largely embraced by fans and critics.

One such fan is Marvel Cinematic Universe alum Iman Vellani, who has played Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel since her self-titled series in 2023. In an appearance on the Revenge Of podcast, she praised Born Again before revealing that she “just got to visit the set of season three that they’re shooting in New York.” Though this visit could have been merely a social call, it could hint that Kamala is returning to the small screen.

Vellani would not be the only Marvel veteran coming back for Born Again season three. At the end of the second season, Mike Colter reprised his role as Luke Cage alongside Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones. Further reports have indicated Finn Jones will also be back, reuniting the entire lineup of The Defenders ten years after the original show.

As for Vellani’s future in the MCU, the path is unclear. Ms. Marvel debuted three years ago, and season two has yet to materialize. Vellani’s costar, Aramis Knight, denied that further talks regarding the show have happened, adding that he thinks that a second season is unlikely. “I mean it’s been a long time now, so I am not really sure,” he said. “I would love to. I was supposed to make appearances and other things, but it didn’t end up working out and some logistical stuff and COVID stuff and, I think, also creative stuff.“

Vellani has appeared once in the franchise since Ms. Marvel, teaming up with Brie Larson and Teyonah Parris in The Marvels later in 2023. Unfortunately, that film underperformed both critically and commercially. Of The Marvels’ disappointing returns, Vellani said:

I don’t want to focus on something that’s not even in my control, because what’s the point? That’s for Bob Iger. [The box office] has nothing to do with me. I’m happy with the finished product, and the people that I care about enjoyed the film. It’s genuinely a good time watching this movie, and that’s all we can ask for with these films. It has superheroes, it takes place in space, it’s not that deep, and it’s about teamwork and sisterhood.

Since then, Vellani has not appeared in live action in the MCU, though she is rumored to appear in Avengers: Doomsday. However, her being on set for Daredevil: Born Again season three could mean her return is imminent, regardless of whether there is truth in those rumors.
