Could Jessica Jones, Daredevil, and other characters be entering the Marvel Cinematic Universe down the line? It doesn’t seem out of the question.

During Disney Plus’ Television Critics Association press day on Wednesday, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige was asked if they had “a history with Jessica Jones” if they could make it happen.

“I think we could probably do it,” Feige said. “I’m not sure. There are always rumors online about things going back. Sometimes it’s true. Sometimes not.”

“I’m not exactly sure about the exact contracts,” Feige added, referring to whether a story like that would even be possible due to property rights with other studios like Netflix and ABC Studios. “But maybe one day.

Netflix and Marvel have teamed up to make a series of original shows – “Daredevil”, “Jessica Jones”, “Luke Cage”, “Iron Fist” and “The Punisher” – from 2015 to 2019. The first four series were reunited in a special called “The Defenders” on the streamer in 2017.

Since the joint Netflix and Marvel projects were canceled in 2018 and 2019, fans have been wondering if we might be seeing some of these characters again in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, especially when and if the rights to the characters reverted to Marvel Studios.

Fans started a #SaveDaredevil petition after the fan favorite series was canceled in 2018. “Daredevil” star Charlie Cox and “Loki” actor Tom Hiddleston also vocally supported the movement with Cox actually stating “Save Daredevil” onstage at a 2019 Marvel Insider event attended to commemorate the life of Marvel’s Stan Lee.

Over the past week, Comicbook.com, IGN, and other comic book stores reported that the live-action rights to Jessica Jones and the Punisher reverted to Marvel Studios after a deal was struck by several. years with Netflix.

It has also been reported that Matt Murdoch may return as a cameo in Sony and Marvel’s upcoming “Spider-Man 3: No Way Home” or “She-Hulk”. Feige confirmed the latter on Wednesday will start filming in a few weeks.

“I’m here on the set now where we end ‘Ms. Marvel’. We’re also shooting Hawkeye, ”Feige added of the superhero series following the Pakistani-American teenager from New Jersey and a second series following the Avengers character of Jeremy Renner and a young protégé played by Hailee Steinfeld. .

“Currently in a few weeks we are starting ‘She-Hulk’, and about a week after that we are starting ‘Moon Knight’, in addition to our features,” he continued. “So, this is a very exciting time for the MCU.”

Marvel’s comedy “She-Hulk” stars Tatiana Maslany as lawyer Jennifer Walters. “Moon Knight”, however, will be an action-adventure story centered on a mercenary who lives with multiple identities within him.

We’ve seen Disney bring an X-Men character into Evan Peters’ Quicksilver into the MCU before, so it looks like anything is possible. With “Spider-Man 3,” starring Tom Holland, released on December 25, seeing the return of Matt Murdoch / Daredevil would certainly be a treat for fans.
