Fans have been waiting for some time to see the heroes of the Marvel Netflix universe come together under one roof. The Defenders is just what they've been waiting for, and the studio has released a new shot of the powerful group.
Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), Iron Fist (Finn Jones), Daredevil (Charlie Cox), and Luke Cage (Mike Colter) stand unified in the latest photo from Empire, shown on an elevator before the epic hallway fight seen in the trailer. Daredevil is in civilian clothes, possibly indicating this mission is rather impromptu, and he's using Jones' scarf as a makeshift mask. For Cox, there was a bit of nervousness concerning bringing these very different characters together. "I was concerned about how you could combine these worlds. Tonally they feel so different. But it feels like all the characters have been respected, and the show has a tone of its own. [They've] kept it grounded, but at the same time it lives in a slightly mythical world."
There will be a dysfunctional family vibe evident from the start, but Colter has high hopes for the team. "We're very reluctant at first. Nobody really wants to work with anyone. By the end of the show, I think it might be more like The Hangover." laughs Colter. "'I don't ever want to see you again!'"

The Defenders will bring phase one of the Netflix Marvel universe to a close, and will likely set up the next big phase of the universe. In addition to the core four shows (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist), the universe will also be adding a Punisher series to its schedule, though no release date has been announced.
The Defenders stars Charlie Cox (Daredevil/Matt Murdock), Krysten Ritter (Jessica Jones), Mike Colter (Luke Cage), Finn Jones (Iron Fist), Jessica Henwick (Colleen Wing), Rosario Dawson (Claire Temple), Sigourney Weaver (Alexandra), Elodie Yung (Elektra Natchios), Babs Olusanmokun (Sowande), Elden Henson (Foggy Nelson), Simone Missick (Misty Knight), Rachel Taylor (Trish Walker), Scott Glenn (Stick), Eka Darville (Malcolm Ducasse), Debbi Morgan (Delores), Carrie-Anne Moss (Jeri Hogarth), and Deborah Ann Woll (Karen Page).
Daredevil seasons 1 and 2, Jessica Jones season 1, Luke Cage season 1, and Iron Fist season 1 are all available on Netflix now, while The Defenders is expected later in the year. The Punisher does not currently have a release date. Netflix has announced a second season of Jessica Jones and a third season of Daredevil, but no release dates have been announced for those either.
