The Defenders
The Defenderswill take place over"a duet of days,“according toIron Fiststar , Finn Jones . The Netflix miniseries brings together Luke Cage ( Mike Colter ) , Jessica Jones ( Krysten Ritter ) , Daredevil ( Charlie Cox ) , and Iron Fist ( Jones ) for the first metre , as they team up up to fight against The Hand and a new villain in the form ofSigourney Weaver ’s Alexandra . The miniseries will be eight episodes long , in contrast to the individual Marvel / Netflix TV series , which are thirteen each and typically traverse a longer point of meter thanThe Defenderswill .
Speaking at the 2017 Comicpalooza event in Houston , where he appeared on aDefenderspanel alongside Colter , Jones allege that make the integrality ofThe Defenderstake lieu over just a couple of days , allows for a more intense plot line to take spot - one which throws the four Marvel Cinematic Universe , New York - baed vigilantes together , against their will .
Here is the full quotation from Jones ( viaMCU Exchange ):
" [ The defender ] takes plaza in a very short amount of time . It ’s 8 episodes but it takes spot over a couple of day . So it has this real - time frenzied energy to it which I think adds to the close at hand day of reckoning . So we ’re all kind of brought together not through selection , but through necessity . We do n’t need to mould with each other but our backs are against the wall and we kind of have to . "
The brusk time frame is in dividing line to other Netflix/ Marvel offering , which span a lot long timescale . Daredevilin particular proposition , takes home over several month . That approach can work well ; in the example ofDaredevil , it gives time for the terror to build , relationships to develop and change , and for a mess more characterization to come through . ButThe Defendersisn’tDaredevil , or any other Netflix / Marvel show . Each of the core four have had their own standalone series ; weknow the Defenders type , we know their ways , and we know the other character they ’ll be bring along with them , too .
The inadequate time frame should mean the legal action is ramped up right away , and that we see these fictitious character feature to displume together immediately to front a very real and imminent terror . The Defenderstrailerhighlights some impressive fight sequence , as well as some veridical sense of humour between the character reference . expectancy forThe Defendersis luxuriously already , and with added intensity to look forward to , and a lot of superheroes who really do n’t care each other , this could well wrench out to be one of Netflix / Marvel ’s most entertaining offerings to date .
