This article contains light spoilers for Daredevil: Born Again season 3 based on set photos.Daredevil: Born Again hasn’t just been about the rebirth of Matt Murdock, the blind lawyer who spends his evening defending the streets of Hell’s Kitchen as Daredevil. It’s also been about the rebirth of the Netflix Marvel series that first introduced Charlie Cox as Daredevil and Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk. Season 2 brought back Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones and, in the final minutes, Mike Colter as Luke Cage. Set leak photos have already confirmed that the fourth member of the Defenders would also be coming to Born Again, Finn Jones as Danny Rand a.k.a. Iron Fist.However, the latest group of set leaks suggest that Danny and Luke will be more than old acquaintances. The images show Danny and Luke taking a walk with that latter’s daughter with Jessica, Dannielle Cage (or, to use her telling nickname, “Dani”). Seeing the two together in a quiet, personal moment raises hopes that season three of Born Again will finally give comic fans the pairing they’ve wanted.cnx.cmd.push(function() {cnx({playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530",}).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796");});Luke Cage and Iron Fist were not initially paired together. Luke debuted in 1972’s Luke Cage, Hero for Hire #1, written by Archie Goodwin and penciled by George Tuska, while Danny arrived two years later, in Marvel Premiere #15, written by Roy Thomas and penciled by Gil Kane. Like the vampire hunter Blade and the motorcycle-riding Ghost Rider, Cage and Iron Fist were introduced as part of Marvel’s attempts to incorporate pop culture trends into their superhero line, namely Blaxploitation and kung fu movies.Separately, the two garnered a strong readership at first, but when sales flagged, they were put together. In 1978, Luke’s book was renamed Power Man and Iron Fist. Since then, Luke’s superhero moniker “Power Man” has come and gone, but the friendship between the two has been consistent. Even when one or the other has their own solo series or, Luke and Danny come back together again. Time and again, we see that the two work best when Luke’s down-to-earth, streetwise approach tempers Danny’s mystical powers. In recent years, writers have changed the dynamic to make Luke the more centered of the two, a strong contrast to the more goofy (and sometimes out of touch) Danny.That last characterization did make its way into live action, but not in Luke Cage, nor in Iron Fist. Instead, the two only shared the screen in Defenders—where they had to make room for everyone else. Leaving aside the fact that Defenders fell far short of its potential to be the Avengers of the Netflix heroes, the series was naturally overstuffed. In addition to the four central heroes, the show also featured Elektra and Stick from Daredevil, as well as Sigourney Weaver as the big bad. Danny and Luke did get to trade some quips, but only in the margins of the bigger story.Obviously, Daredevil: Born Again won’t be a Power Man and Iron Fist show. The two will be on the margins of a story that still focuses on Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk. But the fact that we see Danny with Luke and Danielle shows that the series understands that the two have a strong bond, something that could be explored in a later Disney+ entry.Now if they’d just get Misty Knight and Colleen Wing into a Daughters of the Dragon series…Daredevil: Born Again seasons one and two are now streaming on Disney+.The post Daredevil: Born Again Can Finally Give Us the Cage and Iron Fist Team-Up We Want appeared first on Den of Geek.
