Marvel Studios' Historic Netflix Crossover Officially Set For 2027 Release After 1 Crucial MCU Movie
Here's what's trending across India right now:
Daredevil: Born Again Season 3 will unite Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist for the first time under Marvel Studios, and the season is now verified to premiere on Disney+ in March 2027, months after Spider-Man: Brand New Day opens in theaters on July 31. Tom Holland’s fourth solo MCU movie draws from the same Netflix well, featuring Jon Bernthal’s Punisher, the ninja clan known as the Hand, and, as per the latest buzz, Rosario Dawson’s Claire Temple. The order of those releases means whatever happens in Brand New Day will shape the world the Defenders come home to.
Adding to this, Set photos from Season 3’s New York production revealed Krysten Ritter, Mike Colter, and Finn Jones filming together in April, and Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock completes the quartet that last shared the screen in 2017’s epic eight-episode crossover series The Defenders . Ritter already returned as Jessica Jones in Season 2, with Colter’s Luke Cage also making a brief cameo. Jones’ Danny Rand will be a fresh addition to Season 3. Cameras started rolling in March, picking up after a Season 2 finale that sent Murdock to prison once he revealed his identity to the world.
Meanwhile, Brand New Day , meanwhile, gives Frank Castle his first big-screen role after The Punisher: One Last Kill premiered on Disney+ on May 12. Destin Daniel Cretton directed the new Spider-Man movie, which pits a forgotten Peter Parker against a wave of enemies that includes Michael Mando’s Scorpion, a savage version of the Hulk, and the Hand.
Notably, The more interesting story here isn’t really the rollout order, though. It’s how much of Brand New Day could spill directly into Born Again Season 3, since the two projects share villains and the same New York streets.
As per the latest buzz, The Hand served as the main threat of Daredevil Season 2 and The Defenders , an ancient organization of ninjas chasing immortality beneath New York. The group’s leadership seemingly perished when Midland Circle collapsed at the end of the crossover series, and no Marvel Studios project touched them again until Brand New Day ’s trailers showed them attacking Spider-Man. Their return raises an obvious question about who else comes back with them. An star who was an integral member of the Hand of late even teased his potential return .
In further updates, The likelihood of their return received even more credence when set photos and videos from Born Again Season 3 revealed Elodie Yung filming in a new, more comic-accurate Elektra costume . The Hand resurrected Elektra as its living weapon, the Black Sky, in The Defenders , and her fate after Midland Circle was never resolved on screen. If Brand New Day reestablishes the clan and its resurrection rituals in the present-day MCU, Season 3 gets a ready-made explanation for how Elektra walked out of that rubble alive.
On top of that, Born Again Season 2 ended with Wilson Fisk’s empire in pieces. His court case fell apart, the attorney general sued him, and he was ordered to step down as mayor of New York City. That leaves a vacuum at the top of the city’s underworld heading into Season 3.
Brand New Day may quietly answer who fills it. Marvin Jones III plays the crime boss Tombstone in the movie, reprising a character he already voiced in the animated series Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man , and promotional material of late offered a first look at the villain that the trailers kept hidden. If Lonnie Lincoln establishes himself as a power player in Spider-Man’s corner of New York, Born Again Season 3 will need to acknowledge the shift in power dynamics.
