Luke Cage (Mike Colter), Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) and Danny Rand (Finn Jones) join together to defeat a major threat.
The lengthy-awaited superhero team-up, The Defenders, is in the end right here and it’s been really worth the wait. Mostly.
Fans will enjoy seeing their heroes within the same frame, kicking arse and kicking back. It’s surely exciting stuff and that hallway combat — those guys love a hallway fight — teased within the trailers is riveting and propulsive when you see their specific preventing styles working together.
Like its big-display screen Marvel cousin, The Avengers, The Defenders functions 4 heroes — Daredevil (Charlie Cox), Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), Luke Cage (Mike Colter) and Iron Fist (Finn Jones) — coming together to tackle a larger danger than what they could’ve treated on their very own. But unlike The Avengers, these characters are road-stage desirable eggs and that is a much more intimate fight than the arena-saving shenanigans the huge inexperienced man receives up to.
Well, not intimate-intimate like their individual adventures have been — this time a whole metropolis is beneath risk. But it’s nevertheless extra relatable than, say, Peter Quill’s planet-dad’s evil plot to eat each world inside the universe.
