When the four Marvel Netflix series were announced,Daredevil,Jessica Jones,Luke CageandIron Fist, it was revealed that all of these shows will be entrenched within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and that all four characters will join forces to becomeThe Defendersin a Netflix miniseries. WhileDaredevildebuted its second season earlier this year,Luke Cageis about to debut its first season on September 30, and we already sawMike Colter’sLuke Cageon bothJessica Jonesand the new season ofDaredevil. During a convention appearance this weekend,DaredevilstarCharlie Coxteased that theDaredevilSeason 2 timeline actually overlaps withLuke Cage.
AYouTubeuser known as “ChristineDoesCons” posted a 42-minute video this weekend from a panel that featuredDaredevilstarsCharlie Cox,Elden HensonandRosario Dawson.Charlie Coxrevealed that one particular scene inDaredevilSeason 2 featuredClaire Templewith an unexplained cut on her eyebrow, which actually happened in theLuke Cagetimeline. Here’s what he had to say below.
“One thing that I thought was really cool is that in the second season [ofDaredevil], we had a scene together and in the storyline we hadn’t seen each other for a long time and it takes place at the hospital. Rosario had - Claire Temple has a cut in her eyebrow. So I was like, ‘What is that?’ Apparently it had nothing to do with our world but it’s part ofLuke Cage. The timeline had been thought through and worked out so that whatever’s going on in Luke Cage, which we don’t know, I don’t know, somehow at some point during that show, the next day she’s in the hospital talking to me.”
Rosario Dawson’s Claire Temple may be the one character who will appear in all four shows, but we don’t know for sure yet if she’ll surface inIron Fist. While on the movie side of the MCU, actors are required to sign contracts spanning multiple movies, it seems that isn’t necessarily the case on the TV side, sinceRosario Dawsonreveals she simply signs on every year. Here’s what she had to say about appearing across episodes of multiple shows.
In the comics, Claire Temple was romantically linked to thePower Man, so we’ll have to wait and see how that relationship plays out in the newLuke Cageseries. Netflix also issued a renewal forDaredevil Season 3at Comic-Con, but we still don’t know when that new season will air, since the streaming service still has to debutIron FistandThe Defenders. While we wait for more details regarding Marvel’s Netflix TV universe, take a look at the 42-minute video below from Wizard World Comic-Con in Chicago, with these details listed above coming at the 12-minute mark.
