Of course, The Defenders is still a ways off, as Luke Cage only recently debuted on Netflix, and Iron Fist is still yet to come.
However, one should never forget the woman who largely paved the way for women kicking butt on the big screen: Sigourney Weaver.
Weaver will play a villain in the miniseries, although more information on her role has yet to be revealed.
The latest high-profile production to acquire Weaver’s services is Marvel’s The Defenders, the eight-episode miniseries culmination of the individual Netflix seasons starring street-level NYC heroes Daredevil (Charlie Cox), Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), Luke Cage (Mike Colter), and Iron Fist (Finn Jones).
