Entertainment Weekly has provided us with our very first look at the ensemble Netflix series Marvel’s The Defenders. The outlet secured a brand new image of the four superheroes at the heart of the series, Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock/ Daredevil, Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones, Mike Colter as Luke Cage and Finn Jones as Danny Rand/Iron Fist.
Here’s an excerpt from their new issue.
Each Defender has arrived separately at the offices of Midland Circle (a name that should sound familiar to Daredevil fans as the shady operation behind a giant, literal plot hole in season 2), and none of them expected to cross paths. But before they can properly meet and greet, the four have wound up trapped in the middle of a corridor and must brawl their way past a group of enemies. (Hey, Marvel loves hallway fight scenes ever since Daredevil pulled one off.) “Every one of them is following their own trail of bread crumbs, trying to unpack a mystery in New York,” explains showrunner Marco Ramirez, who produced Daredevil‘s first season before co-showrunning the second. “We wanted them all caught off guard. Once they’re in that room together, it’s kind of like, ‘Oh, s—, who are you?’”
The magazine also revealed the characters via a new video, which you can watch below.
The Defenders will debut on the streaming service with eight new episodes later in 2017.
