There is this part of me that thinks the threat is actually Daredevil. Like he comes in defense of Elecktra or something and just goes dark side at least to Foggy and Karen’s minds.

Evil Elektra is going to lead an army of ninjas to attack Hell’s Kitchen and it will be up to The Defenders to stop her.

Too bad I’ll be skipping the white washed Iron Fist but I can’t wait for the others!

I don’t think you know what whitewashing means. Iron Fist has always been white so them hiring a white actor is….not a big deal. Now if a white guy was hired for Luke Cage, that would’ve been whitewashing

He shouldn’t have been a white character in the first place tbh.

It all depends on the story. A big part of Iron Fist is him sort of being a man with no home since he doesn’t feel accepted where he came from but doesn’t fit in here. And Marvel has said that the show will deal with the fact that he’s white head on and show what that means for him

Why don’t you go read the comic I stead of trying to force racial perception ideas on a character who doesn’t need it. Marvels make a show for Shang-chi show if the want an Asian kungfu superhero show.

Um… he’s literally a white trope. That’s who the character is. He’s also secondary to his best friend who he takes commands from Luke Cage. Which should be interesting because there aren’t a lot of shows where the minority is in charge of a white hero… actually this would be the first. But if the character being who he is makes you want to forget the first major female character, first major minority character, and first disabled character… then bully to you!

Actually I said I’ll be skipping the Iron Fist series. Not the Defenders series since it’s not all about that white washed character.

Iron Fist isn’t about the whitewashed character either.

Michelle, you’re so silly. YOU shouldn’t have been a white character in the first place. Blame it on typecasting. I can’t wait to see who will play you in the remake (sorry, you think my comment makes no sense? read yours again and tell me which one is crazier. Also, read a comic. That will prevent you from making inane pseudo-sociological comments like this. Go have a good day).

Read a summary of that crap and yeah, same ol white guy comes into an Asian country and he’s made out to be the ” hero” and the Asian characters are supporting characters.

Like I said, I’ll pass on the Iron Fist series.

Iron Fist isn’t whitewashed; he’s been a Caucasian character since he first appeared over 40 years ago.

Michelle is in an autoreply-driven alcohol-induced white person guilt trip. She will wake up. She has to.

Nice try but I’m not white. I’d insult you but that’s not what the comment section is for.

i wonder if jessica wears her jewel outfit or gets her clothes/costume upgraded by melvin potter and claire becomes Nightnurse and kingpin/the hand villian team up and the defenders get help from the punisher

So JJ season 2 will come out after The Defenders? In what 2 years?? I hope not, cause that is too damn long.

No one said any such thing . Any known premiere dates are denoted above.

I agree that is way to long. But it does feel like it might be a two year wait because Defenders has to shoot by a certain time, contractually. At least thats what JJ showrunners were saying. I would love it if marvel would put out 4 shows a year instead of the 2. That way the wait between season wouldn’t be so long.

I’m hoping that the producers of the other three shows are also heavily involved since they are the ones that will have helped build their respective identities. Especially as it relates to Jessica. The strong female driven voice that runs through every element of that show needs to be nurtured as it migrates to Defenders. Otherwise she may stop sounding like the Jessica we know.

I think the villain is going to be the corp that Jessica was looking into (the one that was maybe involved in giving her her powers). I also feel that they had something to do with Matt and Luke getting their powers as well. It’s all connected.

After completing season 2 of DD, that was overstuffed with plot at the expense of characters, with too many villains and a loss of the dark humour that characterized season 1, I’m not so sure I’m exactly thrilled that Ramirez and Petrie have been tapped as the showrunners for The Defenders. I hope the storyline is tighter and more disciplined, the humour back, and we have a chance to be with, and learn about, the characters we’ve learned to love through years of comic book fandom.

I think the villain will be a combination of a threat from each show. Since we don’t know what threat Luke Cage and Iron Fist will introduce, I’m guessing Bullseye will team up with the group that Nuke/Will Simpson was a part of.

Luke Cage will introduce Cottonmouth and Mariah Dillard AKA Black Mariah(yes, that is the REAL name of her alter ego). Iron Fist will introduce Silver Samurai who was hinted in season 1 of DD.

can we just have a Punisher series too so my life can be more complete.
