Usually with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s easy to tell what is canon and what isn’t. At least, it’s easier than the DC Universe and the Game of Thrones Universe. But there’s one sticking point that’s still fueling debates amongst the fandom: the pre-Disney+ TV shows. The Netflix Marvel shows, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage, and their sibling series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D previously existed outside of canon, but the premiere of Daredevil: Born Again — and Jessica Jones’ and Luke Cage’s cameos in Season 2 — ushered them into MCU canon.
There’s only one Defender missing: Danny Rand, aka Iron Fist. Thankfully, star Finn Jones is confirmed appear in Season 3, but he’ll be alone. His co-star Jessica Henwick, now appearing as journalist Helen Drew in Apple TV’s Silo, has made it clear she won’t appear, but she revealed exclusively to Inverse that she did have conversations about bringing Colleen Wing back.
