First footage of Marvel’s The Defenders. With actual words

13 January 2017 Rob Buckley 1 Comment

You’ve already seen the photo today. Now there’s a video with all of Netflix’s Marvel’s The Defenders. It’s quite fun to see them all together, even Iron Fist whose show hasn’t even aired yet. Also, I realised that Charlie Cox was English but I hadn’t realised that Finn Jones was. Because the show hasn’t aired yet.

What few things they reveal about the show sound interesting at least. Although Krysten Ritter doesn’t sound interested.

Pinky's Mom I watched this show first run back in the 80s. Surprisingly arch and intelligent, it held me with its graphic-novel style storytelling. Little on TV appealed to me back then, and that fact hasn't...
