Will Jessica Jones, Daredevil and other characters be able to enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the future? It doesn’t seem out of the question.
During the Disney Plus Television Critics Association press day on Wednesday, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige was asked if they had “a story with Jessica Jones” if they could make it happen.
“I think we probably could,” said Feige. “I’m not sure. There are always rumors online about things reversing. Sometimes that’s true. Sometimes it’s not.”
“I’m not sure of the exact contracts,” added Feige, referring to whether such a story would be possible because of property rights with other studios like Netflix and ABC Studios. “But maybe someday.”
Charlie Cox plays the lawyer by day, Matt Murdoch, and the superhero by night, Daredevil, on the Netflix series.

Netflix and Marvel 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 came together in one special called “The Defenders” on the streamer in 2017.
Since Netflix and Marvel’s joint projects were canceled in 2018 and 2019, fans have wondered whether or not we could see some of these characters again in the Marvel cinematic universe, especially when and if the rights of the characters revert 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 supported the movement with Cox declaring “Save the Daredevil” on stage at a Marvel 2019 Insider event attended to celebrate the life of Stan Lee from Marvel.

Over the past week, Comicbook.com, IGN and more comic books have reported that the live action rights for Jessica Jones and the Punisher have been reverted to Marvel Studios after a multi-year contract with Netflix has been concluded.
There have also been reports that Matt Murdoch can return to participation in any Sony and Marvel in “Spider-Man 3: No Way Home” or “She-Hulk”. Feige confirmed on Wednesday the last will start shooting in a few weeks.
“I’m here on the set now, where we’re ending ‘Mrs. Marvel’. We’re also filming Hawkeye ‘, ”Feige added of the superhero series after the Pakistani-American teenager from New Jersey and a second series after Jeremy Renner’s Avengers character and a young protégé played by Hailee Steinfeld.
“Currently, in a few weeks, we started ‘She-Hulk’, and a week after that, we started ‘Moon Knight’, in addition to our resources,” he continued. “So, it’s a very exciting time for the MCU.”
Marvel’s comedy “She-Hulk” stars Tatiana Maslany as attorney Jennifer Walters. “Moon Knight”, however, will be an action-adventure story centered around a mercenary who lives with multiple identities within him.
We’ve already seen Disney integrate an Evan Peters Quicksilver X-Men character into the MCU, so it seems like anything can be possible. With “Spider-Man 3” starring Tom Holland, released on December 25, seeing the return of Matt Murdoch / Daredevil would certainly be a delight for fans.
