We Got a New Image from Marvel’s ‘The Defenders’
Another image for Netflix’s The Defenders has been released.
The poster features our “gang of four:” Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage (looking like he’s about to hurt someone pretty badly), and Iron Fist.
The image looks like it will be used as a promotional banner for an interview of sorts due to the text on it: “Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist have united to form street-level supergroup The Defenders, the four stars brief us on what to expect.”
Here it is:
Marvel’s The Defenders is set to air on Netflix August 18.

ICYMI: Here’s the Trailer for Netflix’s ‘The Defenders’ + What We Know so Far
Marvel’s The Defenders premiere is quickly approaching, here’s what we know so far.
The Defenders is an upcoming Netflix TV show based on the Marvel Comics team of the same name. The group consists of Max Murdock a.k.a. Daredevil (Charlie Cox), Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), Luke Cage (Mike Colter) and Danny Rand a.k.a. Iron Fist (Finn Jones). The Defenders and all the other Marvel/Netflix shows are part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The show will be set one month after events of Iron Fist. These four vigilantes will have to leave their differences aside to fight one common enemy: The Hand.
The Defenders will not be the only ones coming back, as Stick (Murdock’s mentor, played by Scott Glenn), Claire Temple (Cage’s lover and former nurse who gives medical aid to vigilantes, played by Rosario Dawson), Misty Knight (a police detective, played by Simone Missick), Trish Walker (Jones’ adoptive sister and best friend, played by Rachel Taylor), Karen Page (Murdock’s former secretary and reporter, played by Deborah Ann Woll), Foggy Nelson (Murdock’s close friend, played by Elden Henson) and Colleen Wing (Rand’s lover and former member of The Hand, played by Jessica Henwick) are all set to come back and reprise their previous roles in the series.
Sigourney Weaver is joining the cast as one of the TV show’s villains: Alexandra. Her character is described as the head of an ancient organization who’s “really smart” and “very in charge.” Her character has also been described as “a very powerful force in New York City. She’s everything Sigourney is: sophisticated, intellectual, dangerous.”
However, we don’t know if she’ll be our main villain, especially since we have The Hand and Elektra (Élodie Yung) coming back as villains as well.
