The Defenders
The stunt performers for six of the chief character reference inMarvel ’s The Defendershave assembled for a cool behind - the - scenes photo . The Defendersfinally debuted for fans on Netflix just after midnight PST on Friday , after two old age and four series – Daredevil , Jessica Jones , Luke CageandIron Fist – constitute the chemical group of street - based superheroes who come up together to take on the nefarious establishment , The Hand .
The four series have a clearly different musical note than anything fan have find out in the Marvel Cinematic Universe , including dark standard pressure , a gritty feel , R - rated content and lots of strong-arm natural action . And while the four star ofThe guardian – Charlie Cox ( Matt Murdock / Daredevil ) , Krysten Ritter ( Jessica Jones ) , Mike Colter ( Luke Cage ) and Finn Jones ( Danny Rand / Iron Fist ) – certainly have the strong-arm wherewithal to embody their role , there are some stunts that are too difficult and/or grave for them to perform , so the production has enroll a cadre of stunt performing artist to step in when the action becomes too intense .

Pictured in the photo , left to right wing , are stunt doubles Justin Eaton ( Stick ) , Dejay Spadaro Roestenberg ( Jessica Jones ) , Chris Brewster ( Daredevil ) , Guy Fernandez Jr. ( Luke Cage ) , Kim ( Elektra ) , and David Armstrong ( Iron Fist ) . It ’s easy to see how the stunt performers landed their gig because of their interchangeable looks to the actors they ’re doubling for , but you’re able to almost feel the attitude of the case in the photo as well ( particularly with Roestenberg , who is flipping the bird in Jessica Jones - like fashion ) .
Photos like the one Kim posted of her and her stunt confrere need to be post more often . After all , the counsel ofThe Defendersand the each of the solo series that precede it has been been slick and so expertly edit that you ’d swear the stars of the shows are the ones actually performing the stunts . This way , fan get to put a cheek to the invaluable behind - the - scene players that really make the action encounter , yet rest the unknown hoagy of the industry .
At the very least , the employment of stunt mass have the aid of the idiot box industry , since the Emmy Awards traditionally respect stunt coordination , and the Screen Actors Guild honors stunt ensemble ( in both TV and film ) . With any luck , the citizenry who literally take the punch inThe Defenderswill be honored for their laborious workplace and sacrifice when the time comes for nominating address . Without them , Marvel ’s compelling superhero fib on Netflix but would n’t be the same .
