Ms. Marvel’s Iman Vellani Has Visited the ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Season 3 Set, and Fans Are Reading Into It Hard
Few corners of the MCU have earned back goodwill as efficiently as the Hell’s Kitchen corner of the street-level universe. ‘Daredevil: Born Again‘ has steadily grown into one of Marvel’s most beloved Disney+ productions, with its gritty, grounded tone drawing praise from both longtime Netflix-era fans and newer viewers who came on board with Charlie Cox’s return. The show’s willingness to dig deep into its legacy cast has only added to its reputation as the MCU’s most confidently executed ongoing series.
Season 3 has been in production since March of this year, with showrunner Dario Scardapane recently confirming to Entertainment Weekly that principal photography is expected to wrap in early July. Set photos have already confirmed that Krysten Ritter, Mike Colter, and Finn Jones are filming together as Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist, marking what appears to be a full Defenders reunion on screen for the first time since the original Netflix era. The scale of what is being assembled in Season 3 is clearly significant, which makes every piece of news coming off that set feel loaded with implication.
The latest development arriving in that spirit comes from the ‘Ms. Marvel’ side of the MCU. Iman Vellani, the Pakistani-Canadian actress who plays Kamala Khan, casually mentioned that she paid a visit to the ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Season 3 set. The disclosure is short but pointed, and fans across social media wasted no time running with the implications of what a set visit from Vellani could actually mean for her character’s future.
Questions about Kamala Khan’s next MCU move have been building for a while, with Vellani notably absent from the initial cast announcement for ‘Avengers: Doomsday’, though Marvel Studios has suggested the full roster for that film has not yet been revealed. Executive producer Sana Amanat, who works across both ‘Ms. Marvel’ and ‘Daredevil: Born Again’, told a TVLine reporter that Kamala is “beloved by all of us at Marvel,” adding that there have been ongoing conversations about her return, though specifics remain very much unconfirmed.
The groundwork for a Kamala and Matt Murdock connection was laid during the first season of ‘Born Again’, when Kamala’s father Yusuf Khan appeared as a bank manager in Episode 5, with a line confirming his daughter was in California visiting friends, a detail that immediately sparked Young Avengers speculation among fans. A set visit from Vellani herself, whether it signals a cameo, a guest arc, or simply a friendly drop-in, deepens that throughline considerably.
With its third season renewal, ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ has become the first live-action series produced by Marvel Studios to reach a third season, a milestone that speaks to the franchise’s investment in this corner of the MCU. Vellani has now appeared in the MCU across ‘Ms. Marvel’, ‘The Marvels’, and the animated ‘Marvel Zombies’ miniseries, and trusted scooper Alex Perez of the Cosmic Circus has hinted that she will be part of ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ as well. A Season 3 appearance would neatly slot into that trajectory, connecting the street-level and team-level sides of the franchise in a way that feels organic rather than forced.
Whether Vellani’s set visit results in a proper role or simply stays a friendly behind-the-scenes moment, the timing, the existing Easter eggs, and the sheer momentum of ‘Born Again’ Season 3 make it one of the MCU’s most compelling open questions right now. If you were hoping to see Kamala Khan finally share the screen with Matt Murdock, now is the time to say so.
