Given how much emphasis these series have (so far) put on their NY location, it would be pretty jarring to suddenly see them go jetting off to somewhere like&#8230;I don&#8217;t know, Sokovia.<\/p>\n<p>Also, that hand in the teaser would seem to suggest that The Hand will be the major threat, which would also suggest that <strong><em>Daredevil<\/em><\/strong>&#8216;s second season may have been playing directly into <strong><em>The Defenders<\/em> <\/strong>more than we realised. In which case&#8230;any chance of Jon Bernthal&#8217;s Frank Castle showing up? How powerful could a threat be for The Punisher to not be helpful?<\/p>\n<p>As uncertain as Bernthal&#8217;s involvement is, The Defenders will definitely star Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock\/Daredevil, Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones, Mike Colter as Luke Cage and Finn Jones as Danny Rand\/Iron Fist, and apparently Scott Glenn as Stick. We also know that <strong><em>Daredevil<\/em><\/strong> Season 2 showrunning duo Marc Petrie and Marcos Siega will handle the show.<\/p>\n<p>And now, if you&#8217;ll excuse us, we&#8217;re going to be humming &#8216;Come As You Are&#8217; for the rest of the day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Defenders will air on Netflix in 2017.
