The Defenders
Jessica Henwick has revealed whereThe Defendersfinds her MCU character , Colleen Wing . Most people seem to agree that among the highlight of Marvel and Netflix’sIron FistTV series , is Henwick ’s depiction of the Colleen fiber . Iron Fistseason 1 is one of the streaming service’smost satiate premieres of the yearso far , all but insure that Colleen will fall post - Defenders .
First , Henwick will be reprising her character as Colleen for the upcoming team - up TV miniseries , The Defenders . The eight - episode event will finally team up up Daredevil , Jessica Jones , Luke Cage , and Iron Fist , something Marvel has been building towards ever since first announcing the four solo and singleDefendersseries back in October 2013 . Along for the ride are quite a bit of supporting cast members , including Rosario Dawson as Claire Temple ( who has play a part in every Marvel / Netflix series so far ) .
Seeing all the fiber together will be exciting for audience who have been waiting several age to see how this all play out . Characters like Luke Cage and Iron Fist have antecedently been partnered in the comics asHeroes for Hire , so fans have been anticipating their meeting . Henwick verbalize toEntertainment Weeklyand praise the upcomingDefendersminiseries , saying :
It ’s good , it’sreallygood . I think people are going to love visit characters interact with each other , they ’re going to see Colleen and Misty [ Simone Missick ] , they ’re start to love seeing Luke Cage with the Iron Fist , Danny Rand . I intend fan are last to gross out out .
Along with Iron Fist and Luke Cage being partner in the comics , Misty Knight and Colleen Wing have also been partnered in a squad calledDaughters of the Dragon(which Wing used as her cloak-and-dagger fighter name ) . Before we get to that meeting between Misty and Colleen , Henwick also revealed that we wo n’t pick up with her character in New York :
We blame up with Colleen not in New York — which is unbalanced , as all the show have been predominantly in New York . We recover her a month after we left her . It ’s really interesting she has n’t been able to deal with the worked up trauma she dealt with in Iron Fist . So it builds to a fountainhead and she explodes in Defenders .
The last we saw of Wing and Danny Rand , the two part stake off to K’un - Lun only to notice that the mystical city had disappeared . ConsideringThe Defenderswill be arrange a calendar month after the final shot inIron Fistand that The Hand should be the antagonists in the miniseries , it ’s likely we ’ll becharm up with Colleen in Japan ( where she was lift by her granddad ) , before return to New York .
WithThe Defendersfinally premiering this summertime there is a lingering inquiry about where Marvel Television will take their street - level hero in the next few years . It is likely that they ’ll culminate inThe Defendersseason two but in the meantime , it ’s also potential Marvel is planning on more spinoff series afterThe Punisher . With both Danny and Luke along with Colleen and Misty finally meeting , there could even be bothHeroes for HireandDaughters of the Dragonminiseries in the future .
