#TheDefenders Teaser Video "Midland Circle Security Elevator B"

The anonymously named " Midland Circle Security Elevator B " is, of course, a nod to the dodgy corporation we first met in Daredevil's second season, and the people on the footage are Matt Murdock ( Charlie Cox ), Jessica Jones ( Krysten Ritter ), Luke Cage ( Mike Colter ) and Danny "Iron Fist" Rand ( Finn Jones ), all looking like they've just been in a brawl. There are some interesting touches here – why is Danny seemingly more exhausted than the others, for example, and we guess Matt didn't have his costume along with him – and little clues leading to viral info. The address in the top left corner leads to a site for the New York Bulletin (where Deborah Ann Woll's Karen Page works), itself a treasure trove of other sites based around the shared superhero universe. Oh, and when Jessica smashes the camera, the footage halts at 8:18:20:17, or to translate from American dating protocols, 18 August 2017, suggesting we have a release date for the

Luke Cage Trailer Has Finally Arrived

In this Marvel live action series, a street-fighting ex-con battles crime on the streets of New York as the Super Hero, Luke Cage . Having met Mike Colter's troubled Luke in Jessica Jones, here we get a deep dive into his world instead of just seeing him intersect with hers. As the ex-con fights crime and navigates the tricky street politics of New York's Harlem, we also explore his back story, including the experiment that both saved his life but left him forever changed. We also get to meet some of the people who will impact Luke's life both positively and negatively, including barber shop owner and Harlem legend Pop (Frankie Faison), villain Cornell "Cottonmouth" Stokes (Mahershala Ali), ambitious politician Mariah Dillard (Alfre Woodard), quick-witted cop Misty Knight (Simone Missick) and bad sort shades (Theo Rossi). Oh, and of course Luke's path will again cross with that of Defenders stalwart Claire Temple (Rosario Dawson), who fills in a littl

We've seen Daredevil , and Luke Cage is on the way, but before that, there's the small matter of Marvel's second Netflix Defenders series Jessica Jones . The ex-superhero private eye makes her screen debut in November, and the first set of official stills has just arrived, showcasing Krysten Ritter (as Jones), Mike Colter (as Cage), David Tennant (Kilgrave), and Carrie-Anne Moss . See all the images after the Jump... The show (principally inspired by Brian Michael Bendis' Alias comics) finds Jones picking up the pieces after a short-lived stint as superhero Jewel.

Frank Whaley Cast As Detective Rafael Scarfe In Luke Cage

The cast is building quickly now for the Marvel/Netflix Luke Cage series: part of the interlocking Defenders quartet that also includes Daredevil, Jessica Jones and Iron Fist. Mike Colter is Luke Cage (AKA Power Man), with Alfre Woodward, Theo Rossi and Mahershala Ali signed up for other roles. And now there's also Frank Whaley (Pulp Fiction, Under The Dome) who'll be carrying a badge as Detective Rafael Scarfe. Straight from the comics, Scarfe works for the NYPD and is a regular fixture in stories featuring Luke Cage and Iron Fist/Danny Rand (his first appearance was in an Iron Fist issue, "The Name Is Warhawk", in 1975). He used to be Misty Knight's partner before she quit the force to form half of The Daughters Of The Dragon (who frequently teamed up with Cage and Rand as the Heroes For Hire). Scarfe went over to the dark side with some other corrupt cops in the Daredevil event series Shadowland. Lots of crossover potential then, with the strong lik

Marvel’s #JessicaJones Premiere Announcement Trailer

It feels like we’ve been waiting a long time to hear when we’ll be able to see Marvel’s Jessica Jones , the next series in the set of four launched by Daredevil this year, on Netflix. The wait, for the date at least, is over, as the streaming service has announced a November 20 launch. Based on Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Gaydos' Alias comics run, the Marvel universe tale is focused on Jones, a woman still picking up the pieces after a short-lived stint as a superhero. Suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder after using her powers (super strength, amongst others), she decides to leave the life behind. But she doesn’t entirely forsake her past: she opens up a New York detective agency, which tackles cases for both ordinary people and superheroes. Melissa Rosenberg has been running the show on this one, which also features Mike Colter as Luke Cage (who is starting work on his own show now) David Tennant as Zebediah Kilgrave AKA “The Purple Man”, with the ability

Alfre Woodard Cast In Netflix's Luke Cage

Deadline is reporting Marvel’s Luke Cage may have found his match. I’ve learned that Alfre Woodard is finalizing a deal to star opposite Mike Colter in Luke Cage, the third series in Marvel’s four-series package at Netflix. Woodard will play a lead character listed on the breakdown as Minetta, a powerful woman in local politics who will have an impact on Luke Cage’s life. She may actually be playing a version of Marvel villain Black Mariah, a nemesis to Luke Cage as well as Iron Fist. In the comics, she is a professional criminal and a drug dealer. In Luke Cage, Mike Colter, who will be first introduced in the second Marvel series for Netflix, A.K.A. Jessica Jones, plays Cage, a wrongly accused man who, granted superstrength by a sabotaged experiment, escapes prison to become a superhero for hire. Cheo Hodari Coker serves as executive producer and showrunner on the series, produced by Marvel Television in association with ABC Studios for Netflix. Oscar nominee and Emmy w

#DavidTennant Cast As Kilgrave In Netflix's "Marvel's A.K.A. Jessica Jones"

Marvel and Netflix are proud to announce that David Tennant will star as the villainous Kilgrave in " Marvel's A.K.A. Jessica Jones ," an all-new 13-episode series premiering on Netflix in 2015 following "Marvel's Daredevil." An enigmatic figure from Jessica’s past, Kilgrave’s reappearance will send shockwaves through the former super hero’s world. Tennant will star opposite Krysten Ritter and Mike Colter , who will play Jessica Jones and Luke Cage in “Marvel’s A.K.A. Jessica Jones.” The series was developed by Executive Producer/Showrunner Melissa Rosenberg. “I'm so honored and excited by the prospect of David inhabiting this multifaceted character,” said Rosenberg. “He can deliver the most heart-wrenching moment to the driest of lines, and all points in between. He'll make Kilgrave a truly original villain." “Anyone familiar with David's work knows he brings an incredible level of dedication to any role he inhabits, a level we

Mike Colter To Play Luke Cage

Charlie Cox is Daredevil and Krysten Ritter is Jessica Jones . Now we have the third of the four members of Marvel / Netflix's Defenders crossover event series: Mike Colter will star as Luke Cage , sometimes known as Power Man. You call him names and he sits and grins, 'cause everyone else is just a sucker to him. This is breakout role for Colter , who's been plugging away in movies and TV for a good decade. On the small screen he's been in the usual suspects like ER, the various Law & Orders, American Horror Story and The Good Wife. In the cinema you might have caught him in Million Dollar Baby, Salt, Men In Black 3 or Zero Dark Thirty. This year he's been Jameson Locke in the X-Box Live series Halo: Nightfall. He's about to blow up rather bigger. Cage will first appear in A.K.A. Jessica Jones before his own series airs. "Viewers will meet him and experience why he is such an important superhero in the Marvel mythos," says Marvel'

Krysten Ritter To Play Jessica Jones In Marvel TV Series On Netflix

Some people get big announcements with glowing quotes. So we have to assume that, while she’ll probably end up with the role, Krysten Ritter is still in the final stages of sealing her deal to play Jessica Jones in the second of the Marvel TV series set to appear on Netflix. Ritter, who was up against some strong competition for the role, has reportedly scored the gig according to Deadline, which goes on to mention that she has been auditioning with Mike Colter , one of the prime candidates to play Luke Cage . Jones and Cage have a history in the comics – they’ve been married and had a child together in one storyline – so it sounds like he’ll be introduced in her series before kicking off his own. With Twilight scriptwriter Melissa Rosenberg (no stranger to telly after working on shows such as Dexter and The O.C.) overseeing the 13-episode first season, Jessica Jones will follow the young woman who, suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder after using her superpowers, de
