‘The Defenders’ Set to Film Later This Year

Fans of Netflix’s MCU will be excited to hear that the Defenders will begin filming later this year. For now, the roster includes four main heroes. If you haven’t been keeping up, this team will be comprised of Iron Fist, Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Jessica Jones.

Speaking at a Netflix event in Paris, Daredevil star Charlie Cox had this to say:

What we do know is at the end of this year we’re going to be making The Defenders and, of course, Daredevil is very much a part of that foursome. I have no idea what the storyline is going to be for that show. I’m very excited to see how those world’s combine… and interested to see tonally how those shows become one.

As for a third season of Daredevil, the MCU seems to have put that on hold until after The Defenders is done filming. Currently, Netflix has Luke Cage up next on the slate, which will be debuting in September this year. A second season of Jessica Jones has been announced, but we don’t have a release date yet. Iron Fist is currently in pre-production and will start shooting very soon!
