And it was clear from the moment that The Defenders cast Sigourney Weaver as the villainous Alexandra, just what kind of a threat the titular team of heroes would be facing in the upcoming season.
Sigourney Weaver says her villain in The Defenders sees herself more as the heroine of her own story.
A culmination of everything that has come before it, The Defenders promises to be an event series the likes of which superhero fans have never seen on the small screen before.
Marvel’s The Defenders premieres on August 18, 2017 on Netflix. Marvel’s The Punisher premiers later in 2017, and additional seasons of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage are expected to air in 2018.
