The Stone on Kevin Feige’s Roof
There is an interest in the fandom in seeing the DefendersVerse characters again. Marvel’s head Kevin Feige has already shown that he likes to hear from fans. The work here is minimal, the characters are already introduced, and the fans love them. So, all that would be necessary would be to give them a new approach and introduce them to the MCU. When Feige was asked in 2021 about this possibility, the executive responded with the wild card “never say never,” so the possibility is open.
