The Defenders
Marvel and Netflix ’s bud relationship is about to start their biggest risky venture yet . After two seasons ofDaredeviland the first seasons forJessica JonesandLuke Cage , they are currently look forIron Fistto be released . These four heroes will make up a team of street - level heroes in New York and will finally work together inThe Defenders . With the eight episode miniskirt - series bringing together every property of the Marvel / Netflix universe to battleSigourney Weaver ’s occult villain , more familiar faces outside of the hero sandwich have already been confirmed .
Some of the supporting character that were already announced to number back includeFoggy Nelson(Elden Henson),Malcolm(Eka Darville),Misty Knight(Simone Missick ) , and Claire Temple ( Rosario Dawson ) . There was however one major supporting character in the Netflix creation that was not yet confirmed to appear - until now .
The DefendersTwitteraccount just corroborate that Deborah Ann Woll will be reprising her role as Karen Page in the miniskirt - series .

Get ready.@deborahannwoll&@SimoneMissickreturn for The#Defenders.pic.twitter.com / Yjz6m6xuQ0 — The Defenders ( @TheDefenders)October 31 , 2016
Karen being involved inThe Defendersis a move that many bear given the goodish part she has had so far in the Netflix universe . While this show will probably not further explore her shady backstory , it could explain the fallout to the final stage of season 2 ofDaredevilor furtherexplain her amour inThe Punisher , depending on when these series are released . Either mode , Karen now knows the identity of Daredevil and appear to be helping Frank once again during his solo serial .
Throughout her appearances , Karen has consistently found herself in trouble , but has always managed to find a way out of these sticky situations - on her own or with the help of her super friends . With her now being a fulltime writer for New York Bulletin , her journalism career could squeeze her to queer path with the Defenders , or she could apply her fact-finding skill to help themlearn more about who they are up against .
Now that Karen has been substantiate to appear , ostensibly every major supporting quality in the Netflix universe has been corroborate forThe Defenders , out of doors of Punisher andColleen Wing- who has yet to even debut . Defendersshowrunners Marco Rameriz and Doug Petrie will certainly have atough task balancing all these characters , but each could only have a individual instalment appearance for that thing . The focus of the show will be on the four heroes , but filling out the show with pre - existing characters will make it feel more a part of the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe .
