Matthew Murdock is in a strange place by the end of The Defenders, but the final moments of the show -- and even actor Charlie Cox -- indicate that Daredevil's third season will adapt one of the character's most iconic comic book stories. Here's what you need to know about it.
This weekend, after years of build up, Jessica Jones, Daredevil, Luke Cage and the Iron Fist will team up on Netflix for The Defenders, bringing another storied Marvel superteam to live-action... but not really. See, the Defenders of TV and the Defenders of the comics may call themselves the same thing, but otherwise they're almost nothing alike.
We knew it was coming, and here's the first trailer. All of the Netflix heroes - Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist - are in one badass new show called The Defenders.
Unsurprisingly, given the upcoming Netflix show, Marvel is also bringing back the Defenders in the comics, with writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist David Marquez. Which is, on the one hand, a nice attempt to create a comic that people watching the shows can use as an easy entry point. On the other hand, it does sound like a craven money grab with a name people will recognise.
