Warning! Potential spoilers for Daredevil: Born Again follow.
Luke Cage actor Mike Colter posted — and in a short time deleted — an image of him cheesing with former Defenders co-stars Deborah Ann Woll and Charlie Cox, after fans spotted what could also be a spoiler for Daredevil: Born Again Season 3.
Colter last officially appeared as The Hero of Harlem in Jessica Jones Season 3 seven years ago, so fans were stunned to see him appear alongside what very much looks to be Cox and Woll in costume as Daredevil and Karen Page in an Instagram post today. The image, which was considered one of 20 and never the one Marvel tease, was snappily deleted, but not before his audience of greater than 400,000 followers was capable of screenshot and share it around.
The image makes it seem to be Matt Murdock and Luke Cage could also be teaming up again, but there’s more hidden within the image for those seeking to understand what could also be within the pipeline for future episodes of Daredevil: Born Again. Fans online have noticed that the image appears to have been taken in what looks like a jail, with Cox’s outfit suggesting Matt Murdock could also be gearing as much as serve a while.

Colter isn’t quite the primary to damage the potential surprise, though. Images taken from the set of Daredevil: Born Again Season 3 emerged last week, revealing sneak peeks at not only a return for Luke Cage but more from Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones and even Finn Jones as Iron Fist a.k.a. Danny Rand. A full-on Defenders reunion wasn’t something most Marvel fans were expecting, but given the evidence that has been revealed in the previous few days, it seems all but officially confirmed.
The Instagram post that likely landed Colter in hot water with Marvel has been cleaned as much as remove any mention of Cox and Woll, however it’s not without an MCU Easter Egg or two. The very first slide of the post, which someway stays available to see on the time of this text’s’s publication, features Colter in a automotive with Ritter and Jones.
“Well, guess the cat’s out of the bag,” Jones replied with a comment on the post.
Despite the waterfall of content leaking for Daredevil: Born Again Season 3, the Disney+ show still has yet to complete airing its second season. Episode 5, The Grand Design, is ready to premiere on April 14. Three more will air each following Tuesday until May 5, with The Punisher: One Last Kill special then set to reach May 12.
Daredevil fans have had plenty to chew on in between episodes, too. Over the weekend, Marvel TV boss Brad Winderbaum fueled fan theories a couple of potential Watcher appearance along with his own Instagram post. While we wait for the show to proceed, you may read our 8/10 review for Season 2 Episode 4.
