Marvel's 'The Defenders' news and updates: Expected to hit Netflix end of this year

American Marvel Comic Book's superhero fiction "The Defenders" may hit Netflix sooner than expected. According to a report by Paste Magazine, the announced miniseries will commence filming this year already. "Daredevil" star Charlie Cox told during a press for Netflix in Paris on Monday, April 11.

The source stated that Charlie Cox revealed the news after fans questioned him about 'Daredevil's' third season, which has not been announced yet. Charlie Cox said. "What we do know is, at the end of this year, we're going to be making The Defenders, and, of course, Daredevil is very much a part of that foursome,"

Matt Murdock may not move on to the next installment anymore, which suggests that the second season may be the onset for the Netflix Original series that will feature the first of four superheroes comprising of Daredevil, Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), Luke Cage (Mike Colter) and the newest Defender, Iron Fist (Finn Jones).

BGR reported that there is no clear news about how things will play out especially since one season of "Jessica Jones" have been released so far and "Luke Cage" is still to premiere on Sept. 30. As for "Iron First," it's ventured for next year.

The storyline connection between "Daredevil" and "The Defenders" is not yet revealed. However, a small hint is here. Cox spoke to Empire and told that the blind lawyer-by-day and crime fighter-by-night may be the team captain of the group of heroes. When asked if he will be at the forefront, Cox answers, "He can't do this alone. He's been so adamant about being a lone wolf, about doing it himself, so I think that in order for him to get to The Defenders we needed this second season. We needed to see him be broken individually so that he can - he's willing to form a team."
