The Defenders
With two time of year ofDaredeviland one time of year ofJessica Joneson the book , the Netflix niche of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is flesh out with a turn of supporting lineament . This will only continue in the downfall whenLuke Cageseason 1 debuts . With so many characters being developed , rooter are already speculating about which digest fictional character will appear in the upcoming crossover miniseriesThe Defenders .
We now have a ratification on at least one of the supporting character reference , however . Actor Eka Darville , who bet Jessica Jones ' ( Krysten Ritter ) neighbor and semi - unwilling crony Malcolm inJessica Jonesseason 1 , expose that he will appear in the forthcoming Marvel / Netflix crossover miniseries in some capacity .
While at the Supanova Pop Culture Expo in Melbourne , Australia , Spoiler TVcaught up with Darville and asked him whether he would be involved withThe Defendersbased on how closemouthed Malcolm and Jessica seemed at the remnant ofJessica Jonesseason one . Darville acknowledge that he will be in the miniseries when itstarts shoot by and by this twelvemonth , though he does n’t yet do it how large his part will be :
Spoiler TV : Malcolm and Jessica were quite close by the conclusion of Jessica Jones . So I was wondering if you have sex yet whether or not you ’ll come along in ' The guardian ' ?
Eka : Yes . I will be in it . I ’m not sure how much yet but I will be in it .
It make sense that Darville would n’t cognise the accurate extent of hisDefendersrole since the miniseries is still early in pre - output . It was only recently announced that theDaredevilseason 2 ’s showrunnerswill overseeThe Defenders , and the series will need to work in characters fromLuke Cageand the upcomingIron Fisttoo . That ’s in add-on to other potential supporting characters who might show up such as Foggy Nelson , Claire Temple , Trish Walker and may even Frank Castle / The Punisher .
It ’s potential that Darville will only have a small part in theDefendersminiseries - though give how well he play up the role of the spy in season one ofJessica Jones , he might avail Jessica scope out whatever the problem is . Of course , pay howseason oneofJessica Jonesended with him seeming to help Jessica with the running of Alias Investigations , he may have a larger part than one might think . It ’s improbable that we ’ll see him getting a surprisal superhero origin and taking on the big bad of the miniseries directly , regardless .
Some fans might argue that the miniseries could get crowded if all of the supporting character from the various shows make an coming into court , especially withThe Defendersusing a miniseries format rather of a full 13 - episode time of year like the other Marvel / Netflix shows have used . It might leave more unanswered questions of Malcolm and the other keep going characters did n’t show up , though . Including supporting persona in smaller role ( and a few , like The Punisher andTrish Walker , in bigger roles ) could help to flesh out the miniseries and keep it from existing within a bubble inside of the MCU .
