Here Charlie looks like he’s at the Rand Building dressed as his alter ego The Devil of Hell’s Kitchen for THE DEFENDERS. I just love this costume. It and Chris Evans’ Captain America stealth suit from Captain America: The Winter Soldier are two of my favourites of the super hero universe. But Charlie just looks amazing. Ready for battle.
Second set here. This time only with Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones for THE DEFENDERS. A bit of a thing with them perhaps? I love Charlie’s smile.
I have the first of three posts for you with some new images of Charlie in New York City filming THE DEFENDERS. The first is of Charlie with Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones and Mike Colter as Luke Cage doing some sleuthing. No Finn Jones/Danny Rand in this one. Wonder why? Was Finn off in the men’s room? Ah well, here’s Charlie.
A Youtube channel called Emergency Awesome just posted an excerpted audio interview with Charlie about DAREDEVIL and including THE DEFENDERS and news that filming is about to begin on DAREDEVIL Season Three, how they filmed THE DEFENDERS using all the best people from all the Netflix shows including LUKE CAGE, IRON FIST & JESSICA JONES. Charlie also talked about the production on THE PUNISHER series with Jon Bernthal as well as the fact he hasn’t received that phone call concerning the possibility of appearing in AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR. He also discussed how season two for DAREDEVIL was more about the mysticism as it would ultimately lead into IRON FIST with Finn Jones, as oppose to what happened in season one of DAREDEVIL which Charlie called more of a police show with a superhero element. All in all it’s a great interview. Emergency Awesome cut the longer interview down to cover the main points, so I’m trying to find the longer version. When I do I’ll post here. If anyone else finds it please leave a link in the comments section of this post.
We have a teaser trailer featuring all our DEFENDERS in an elevator. We have Charlie as Matt/Daredevil, and Finn Jones as Danny Rand/Iron Fist, Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones (no super hero name) and Mike Colter as Luke Cage (no super hero name)…. and a disembodied voice that sounds surprisingly a lot like Sigourney Weaver. As I posited at my Finn Jones site, I’m betting Sigourney is playing the mother of both Ward and Joy Meachum played by Tom Pelphrey and Jessica Stroup. The comparison between Sigourney and Jessica is a little too close to be coincidental, and with Harold (David Wenham) out of the way….. Oh, almost forgot. The official drop of THE DEFENDERS is 18 August, 2017. All eight episodes will drop on that date.
