The Defenders will unite the heroes of Netflix’s other Marvel series, including Matt Murdock aka Daredevil (Charlie Cox), Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), Luke Cage (Mike Colter), and Danny Rand aka Iron Fist (Finn Jones).
Considering Clarkson’s previous work with Marvel and Netflix, and the amount of critical praise the Jessica Jones series premiere received, fans will certainly be excited to see her return for The Defenders.
In addition to the main superheroes, The Defenders will include other characters from the various Marvel Netflix series, with Luke Cage’s Misty Knight (Simone Missick), Jessica Jones‘ Malcolm Ducasse (Eka Darville), and Daredevil’s Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson) already confirmed to appear in the limited series.
The NYC-based corner of the MCU will continue next year with Iron Fist, the Daredevil spinoff, The Punisher, and the team-up limited series, The Defenders.
