Marvel's The Defenders (2017)

Marvel's The Defenders brings together Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist for a street-level crossover event. The Netflix limited series follows the heroes as they team up against a shadowy threat lurking beneath New York City. Gritty action and tangled loyalties drive the story through its darker corners. Jessica Henwick plays the sharp-tongued Colleen Wing, weaving martial arts skill with real screen presence. Rosario Dawson returns as Claire Temple, the one steady thread connecting every hero's storyline. The archive holds 2 scene clips for fans hunting for skin beyond the fight choreography. Neither actress strips the show down to gratuitous territory. But the footage offers a glimpse of sultrier sides rarely seen in their superhero work. It's a small but worthwhile detour for anyone browsing the Marvel corner of the site.
