Daredevil: Born Again showrunner Dario Scardapane has addressed pictures of Luke Cage actor Mike Colter and Iron Fist actor Finn Jones appearing on the season 3 set – in a way only a Marvel Studios creative can.
During filming for Daredevil: Born Again season 3 in New York, a hooded Colter and Jones were briefly spotted, with a Defenders reunion seemingly being teased. That was followed up by Colter himself posting – then swiftly deleting – a selfie from set that appeared to show Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock in a prison jumpsuit.
When asked by Nexus Point News about those surprises from the set, Scardapane replied, "Those guys, they just came by to say hi, right? Yeah, I can’t talk about any of that."

"Season 3, I think people will enjoy very much and you will see some familiar faces," Scardapane teased.
Even with Luke Cage and Iron Fist still seemingly a year out from rejoining the MCU, there's been a mini-Defenders reunion in the most recent episode of Daredevil: Born Again season 2.
In it, Krysten Ritter's Jessica Jones returned, along with the reveal that she now has a daughter called Danielle.
