'Daredevil' Season 2 News, Update: Luke Cage, Jessica Jones To Appear Next Season In Some Capacity
There are definitely a lot of reasons to look forward to when Netflix's hit series "Daredevil" returns for its second season sometime in 2016.
For one, there's the previously announced casting addition of the popular Marvel anti-heroes, the Punisher and Elektra. As already known, the former will be played by "The Walking Dead" alumni Jon Bernthal while the latter is expected to be played by the "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" star Elodie Yung.
The nature to which the two characters will appear in "Daredevil" Season 2 has yet to be learned but speculations are closely referring to Frank Castle (the Punisher) as someone who will go up against Matt Murdock. On the other hand, fans should also expect plenty of flashbacks showing Murdock's romantic past with the Greek lady.

Meanwhile, a recent article from Movie Pilot discussed the possibility for a brief crossover of characters from other Netflix-Marvel series, "Jessica Jones" and "Luke Cage."
The media outlet pointed out that one of the biggest "connecting elements" between the aforementioned shows is Claire Dawson, who has appeared in recurring manner during the first season of Daredevil. The character played by Rosario Dawson also happens to appear in the Krysten Ritter-starred show which began streaming on Netflix last month.
During the final Jones' episode, Claire made mention to the titular heroine how she happens to know a guy who, like her and Luke (Mike Colter), "makes life hard for the bad guys."
The nurse went on to offer her assistance to make the characters meet.
Besides Claire, Pam's (Susie Abromeit) murder case could also bring in the Hell's Kitchen's struggling attorneys, Murdock and associate Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson).
At the end of "Jessica Jones," Jeri Hogarth's (Carrie-Anne Moss) ex-lover and PA was being held responsible for the death of Wendy Ross-Hogarth (Robin Weigert). Movie Pilot speculates that Nelson & Murdock might step in to represent the accused.
Pam's case and Claire's offer are just but two of the possible scenarios that could link "Daredevil" to "Jessica Jones" and later on to "Luke Cage." Regardless of how this will happen, all three titular heroes are slated to appear in Netflix's slice of Marvel Cinematic Universe, "The Defenders."
Stay tuned for more updates.
