They may not be the original comic book
Defenders that consisted of
'Doctor Strange', the '
Silver Surfer', the
'Hulk' and
'Namor the Sub-Mariner', but
Netflix's Marvel street-level heroes certainly seem to know how to get the job done.
Now after surviving their own solo TV series,
'Daredevil', 'Jessica Jones', 'Luke Cage' and
'Iron Fist' are uniting to face a threat to
New York City in
The Defenders mini-series.
Individually they've faced kingpin's, purple men, arms dealers and ninjas, and found their lives more interconnected than they thought (usually via
Rosario Dawson's nurse
'Claire Temple'), but are these loners ready to face the mysterious menace of
Sigourney Weaver's 'Alexandra' and the
Hand ninja order.
The real question is how will a blind lawyer vigilante, indestructible powerhouse, snarky super-detective and living weapon play well together (especially with some of the bedroom history they share).
Regardless of whether they get on, it is cool to see these crime-fighting
Marvel heroes assembled together and these billboards for the eight-part mini-series were photographed along the
Sunset Strip, Beverly Boulevard, Vine Street, Pico Boulevard and
Cahuenga Boulevard on August 8, 2017.
Fans of
Charlie Cox's 'Man without Fear' can also check out these
Daredevil billboards which kicked off
Netflix's street-level
Marvelverse.
Admirers of
Krysten Ritter's hard-drinking private investigator can also enjoy these
Jessica Jones billboards.
For more of
Mike Colter's bulletproof hero of
Harlem take a look at the
Luke Cage billboards and for his comic book partner-in-crime (and let's hope they can replicate some of that chemistry on the small screen), enjoy these
Iron Fist billboards featuring
Finn Jones as the master of the martial arts.
These character's respective solo series also introduced us to a rich interconnected TV universe filled with other fan-favourite characters like
'Karen Page', 'Foggy Nelson', 'Jeri Hogarth', 'Stick' and
'Trish Walker', plus heroes like
'Misty Knight', 'Colleen Wing', 'Elektra' and the
'Punisher'.
Let's hope that
The Defenders can not only save the day, but can propel these TV heroes into new and interesting adventures in subsequent seasons of their stand alone shows.
And who knows, maybe one day they'll have to answer the call to join together and defend the world once again.
UPDATED: Here's another vertical billboard for
The Defenders spotted above the
Sunset Strip's Rainbow Bar and Grill on August 18, 2017.
