The Defenders

Up until now , though , there have been no further details smother Weaver ’s use in the Netflix TV show corner of the MCU . However , now the first picture of her character , Alexandra ,   has been bring out , along with scant details about the orphic villain fromThe Defendersshowrunner Marco Ramirez .

Calling her the " ultimate badass , " Ramirez provide the following description of Alexandra fromThe Defenders(pictured below ) toEW :

" Her fictional character is a very powerful force in New York City . She ’s everything Sigourney is : sophisticated , intellectual , dangerous . ”

Other than those details , we are still none the wiser ; Alexandra has no history in the Marvel strip , and her name is n’t a computer code name for any other Marvel character , either . Ramirez did make a comparability toDaredevilvillain Wilson Fisk , though , so advanced , cerebral and dangerous certainly sound like the correct adjectives . Weaver surely looks the part , too . From the exposure above , it would be concentrated to guess that she was a villain , just as it ’s hard to believe that manner abut Wilson Fisk when we see him at a Jacob’s ladder gala , for good example , but that ’s what makes these Marvel television set baddie so scarey ; they look and act so ordinary that the unexpected villainy is even more disturbing .   Ramirez wo n’t be drawn on exactly what Alexandra is up to , and why The Defenders feel the want to team up up to wreak her down , but he did hint that whatever it is , the show is seek to keep it realistic :

“ We get laid it would take something monolithic to pull these four character reference from their individual worlds to act upon together , but also humble enough that it felt like it exist in our world . ”

That gumption of world is something that Marvel have managed well in their Netflix shows thus far . Though Killgrave was incredibly muscular inJessica Jones , it was simply the agency he cover others that made Jessica fight to bring him down .   InDaredevil , though the forcible violence is   sometimes a bit far - fetched , it ’s the very real friendship between Matt Murdock , Foggy Nelson and Karen Page   that attract   in many viewers who would not usually watch a comic book ground boob tube show . The chance to see all four of Netflix ’s heroes issue forth together on screen is going to demonstrate too effective to overlook - and with the addition of Weaver as a seemingly witching yet deplorable character , The Defendersis shaping up to be one of the television highlights of the year .
