The Defenders
After the liberation ofCaptain America : Civil WarandDoctor Strangein 2016 , the last few weeks may seem like we ’re in the midsection of a Marvel Cinematic Universe drought . However , a recent selling push by Marvel and Netflix has it rainingnewsandimagesfrom the incoming teamup miniseries , The Defenders .
We ’ve officiallyseen the squad assembled , along with an explanation of why this team , unlike the Avengers , isbest suited for Netflix . Now the swarm colossus has released additional images feature Danny Rand in activity , Jessica Jones ingest a saunter with Trish Walker , and a new water line - less version of thepreviously - releasedpicture of Sigourney Weaver ’s mysterious scoundrel , Alexandra , fromThe Defenders .
It ’s interesting witness pictures of Finn Jones ’ Danny Rand / Iron Fist promoted alongside the other Defenders when his own show has n’t even premiered yet , but the first image in the gallery below show him out of costume ostensibly channel an interrogation . The gas mask worn by the other persona in this image is immediately apparent , and decidedly cause for conjecture . Was he working with risky chemicals prior to Iron Fist ’s reaching on the scene , or is this evidence of a larger threat , like a plan or undertake chemical weapons onslaught ? Danny Rand is observably sans mask , so this may be a office that poses risk to his grapheme and anyone else in the neighbourhood .

The 2d picture is fairly innocuous , featuring Jessica Jones and and Trish Walker walking with chocolate . One of the large difficulties give when bring these the Defenders together in a serialized format is going to be secondary characters . Daredevil , Jessica Jones , andLuke Cageall exist in the same New York city , withIron Fistjoining them soon , but the overlap in the shows is minimal at this point . Aside from Claire Temple ( and Luke ’s role inJessica Jonesseason 1 ) , the shows do n’t share many characters .
With all four heroes , plus their supporting cast like Trish , Foggy , Karen , and Misty Knight , plus returns at least fromElektraandStickand the ever bulk large presence of the likes ofThe Punisher , the Kingpin ( who Vincent D’Onofriosays will not seem ) , and Madame Gao ( not to advert new characters like Alexandra),The Defenderscould have a massive hold up roll . fortuitously , most of these characters have already had deal of time to evolve in their own show , making it far prosperous forThe Defendersto interweave them into the story with minimal explanation .
Even though Marvel and Netflix have already started a braggart marketing push with all these promotional images , The Defendersis still without a release date other thanan ambiguous “ summertime 2017.”So far , each of the Marvel instalment have alternated between early spring and fall releases . Iron Fistreleases March 17th , but withThe Defendersbreaking new dry land for Marvel / Netflix , it make sentience to see them change up the sacking appointment as well . Either way , we ’re likely to have it away before long
