Sigourney Weaver will be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe next year, playing an as-yet unnamed villain in Netflix’s The Defenders.
Jon Bernthal – who plays The Punisher – and Deborah Ann Woll – Karen Page – also made appearances, confirming work had begun on The Punisher Netflix show which both actors will be involved in.
The Avengers-style team-up series will unite Netflix’s Marvel heroes – Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Daredevil, and Iron Fist.
Plot details are relatively unknown but, presumably, the series will see the four Defenders take on The Hand, the evil cult seen prominently in series two of Daredevil.
