the defenders

Marvel’s Netflix ‘Daredevil’ returns for 2016 with a punishing and confident Season 2, full of darkly rich new characters and an even more heightened sense of action. Our early review, before all episodes suit up for streaming on March 18!

Of all Marvel’s Netflix Defenders, Iron Fist has proved the most opaque after Daredevil, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage, mired in casting controversy and seemingly delayed in production. Now, our live-action Daniel Rand has finally been cast, as Iron Fist sets Game of Thrones alum Finn Jones for the final Defender role, starting production in the near future.

Marvel’s Daredevil Season 2 dropped plenty of jaws by its first trailer (literally and figuratively), but few moreso than by revealing that a second half was due on February 25. Fortunately for those without calendars, that day has arrived, with all-new Elektra-fying footage of Daredevil Season 2!

The moment Marvel fans have been waiting for all year has finally arrived! Daredevil suits up for Season 2 on Netflix, and Matt Murdock has some deadly new friends and foes alike to keep things in Hell’s Kitchen more punishing than ever. See for yourself, as Daredevil battles The Punisher in our first full Season 2 trailer!

Even after Marvel set fandom ablaze with news that Jon Bernthal's Punisher would join Daredevil Season 2, rumors have flown of granting the character his own spinoff, perhaps even taking over as one of the Defenders. Now, the former appears to be true, as Marvel was impressed enough with Bernthal's Frank Castle to consider a spinoff.

Two deep into Marvel’s Netflix Defenders series, the separation between Marvel’s TV and movie characters has become clearer than ever. Many have hoped that the Phase 3 culmination of Avengers: Infinity War might finally bridge the gulf, including everyone from Agents of .S.H.I.E.L.D. to Daredevil and Jessica Jones in the fight against Thanos, but co-director Anthony Russo doesn’t seem terribly optimistic.

We’re still basking in the glow of Marvel’s Jessica Jones this weekend, wondering if Netflix’s super-heroine will follow Daredevil‘s lead with a Season 2 renewal, but there may be a complication. According to showrunner Melissa Rosenberg, Netflix’s big Defenders teamup might take precedence over a second run on Jessica Jones.

We’re just one day away from the Netflix premiere of Marvel’s Jessica Jones, and already looking ahead to Daredevil Season 2, but with so much of Luke Cage already established in our second Defenders series, many a rumor have spread over the absence of Iron Fist news. Now, Marvel boss Joe Quesada shoots down recent reports Iron Fist has been downgraded to a film, as well as the possibility of a Punisher extension.

Sweet Christmas, if ever we thought Marvel’s Netflix Jessica Jones to be holding out on us, the newest Defender goes all out by her second official trailer. Hell’s Kitchen’s booziest superhero smashes through an action-packed new sneak peek of Marvel’s next venture, giving us a taste of the franchise’s darkest, deepest chapter yet.

At long last, Marvel’s Netflix Jessica Jones finally detects a trailer for our second Defender, chock full of booze, brawling, and one seriously scary David Tennant. We couldn’t help diving way deeper into every frame of footage, so what secrets of Jessica Jones did we smash out?
