The Defenders

The Defenders are coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The four members will be Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist – all of whom will be getting their own series before they come together for a team series (Daredevil has, of course, already seen his series aired on Netflix with great success).

The team will have a distinct lack of any high-end superpowers, so it’s hard to see how they could be effective against Thanos at his base levels – let alone when he’s wielding the Infinity Gauntlet. However, that doesn’t mean they can’t be of use in the battle against the Mad Titan.

They will certainly be able to help to keep the citizens of New York City safe by providing a presence – but whether they will do this on television or alongside the more powerful and popular heroes in the movies is unknown.

Regardless, a few extra heroic bodies in the battle against Thanos will undoubtedly be welcomed – but sadly, that’s probably all they will represent.
