When Madame Gao is revealing the extent of the Hand's criminal influence, and control of the drug trade in New York, she reveals that they have infiltrated the very top levels of not only Rand, but also two other companies that will be familiar to fans of the MCU.

She mentions Roxxon, which has been a nefarious background presence - and basically a vague symbol of corporate evil - since Iron Man, and also Midland Circle, the company revealed in Daredevil's second season, whose building site includes a massive bloody hole in the ground.

Midland will also appear in The Defenders as the centre of the plot that brings all four of the group together, according to EW's breakdown of the plot:

"Each Defender has arrived separately at the offices of Midland Circle (a name that should sound familiar to Daredevil fans as the shady operation behind a giant, literal plot hole in season 2), and none of them expected to cross paths. But before they can properly meet and greet, the four have wound up trapped in the middle of a corridor and must brawl their way past a group of enemies."
