VIDEO: THE DEFENDERS Assembled For The First Time On Stage At This Year's New York Comic-Con
The Defenders doesn't start shooting until later this year, but the four heroes who will make up the team assembled after Marvel and Netflix's NYCC panel, and you can see the photos and video here.
The Defenders starts shooting before the end of the year and will likely hit Netflix next September or October. To call that an exciting prospect is an understatement, especially as we've been waiting to see the team assemble since Marvel and Netflix announced these shows back in 2013. However, the Iron Fist panel at today's New York Comic-Con offered up an early idea of what that's going to look like!
As you can see in the video and photos below, Finn Jones (Iron Fist) was joined on stage by Charlie Cox (Daredevil), Krysten Ritter (Jessica Jones), and Mike Colter (Luke Cage) before Sigourney Weaver was also brought out (details on her role in The Defenders can be found by clicking here). It could be a while before we hear more about this one, so be sure to stay tuned to CBM for further updates.
