Superhero crossovers can be a lot of fun ( which is whyThe CW ’s Arrowversedoes them every year ) , but they ’re also quite crafty to pull off successfully . The Defenderswas charged with bringing together the independent characters of four unlike show , picking up patch togs that had been established in the individual show , and balancing screen clock time and focus between the four superheroes - all while try out to tell a cohesive tale .

Luke Cageseason 2 offered an substitute approaching by havingIron Fist ’s Finn Jonesguest virtuoso in an sequence , temporarily team up up with Luke again . Rather than trying to pull all four characters together for another time of year ofThe Defenders , it might be well to just have them keep popping up in each other ’s shows for an episode or two . After all , they all survive in the same city , so it makes sense for them to call one another in when they need back - up .
The next chapter in the Marvel / Netflix universe isDaredevilseason 3 , which will pick up after Matt Murdock ’s dramatic near - death in theDefendersfinale . Since his friends all think that he was crushed under a collapsing edifice , it will be interesting to see whether any of the other Defenders make an appearing this season - if only because of Matt dropping by to let them know he ’s still breathe .
