Things might be moving forward with getting The Defenders into the main MCU movies

Now that the Netflix MCU shows have all come to an end, the next step is to (hopefully) start getting them into the main MCU.

And, while Marvel are likely looking at getting The X-Men and Fantastic Four front and centre, the fans are wondering what will become of The Defenders.

Marvel boss Kevin Feige had this to say: “There were many great characters that were on those Netflix series and it’ll be a while before we could use any of them based on what the contracts were.”

So it certainly looks like it’s being thought about.

On top of this, WGTC has been told that Daredevil (in particular) and the Defenders are being inserted into future MCU plans with it being most likely that they will be slowly introduced into other movies – with Daredevil currently rumoured to be considered for the third Spider-man movie (hey, SPOILERS,  but Peter Parker will likely need a lawyer after Far From Home, so Matt Murdock would be a cool fit) or maybe even Doctor Strange II (Doctor Stranger, surely?).

And, just to add to the fun, Wilson Fisk/Kingpin star Vincent D’Onofrio had this to say when asked if the MCU would ever put his villain up against Tom Holland’s Spider-man:

Wouldn’t that be just astonishing. https://t.co/qqgWhy8Dlr

Now, it’s not much of a response, but the word ‘astonishing’ does have certain  connections to Spidey, so I’m taking it as hopeful.

Now, while this is all just wishful thinking right now, I was a really, really big fan of Daredevil and Punisher on Netflix and, while I didn’t really like the other shows, I thought the characters and especially cast (well, maybe not Iron Fist) were superb, so having them join the MCU main would be awesome… although there is still a massive disconnect between the Marvel movies and the dark tone of the streaming shows.

What say you all?
