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.
I’ve added about fourteen images to the gallery. These consist of Charlie on the subway with Krysten Ritter (Jessica Jones) and Mike Colter (Luke Cage). I’m guessing these supposed to be funny as there is no sign of Finn Jones (Danny Rand) to be seen. They’re cute anyway. Enjoy.
Here are some images of Charlie filming THE DEFENDERS in New York City. Also featured is Krysten Ritter (Jessica Jones) and it looks like the two of them are having a lot of fun. Honestly, can the summer come any quicker? I can’t wait to see Finn Jones in Iron Fist, then Charlie, Krysten, Mike Colter (Luke Cage) and Finn (Danny Rand) next summer. Also included in THE DEFENDERS will be Elden Hensen (Foggy Nelson), Deborah Ann Woll (Karen Page), Jon Bernthal (Frank Castle / The Punisher), Elodie Yung (Elektra), Scott Glenn (Stick) and superstar Sigourney Weave in an as yet to be announced character. Please keep an eye here for further updates on the various Netflix Marvel shows.
