We haven't even met all the members of The Defenders yet, but that didn’t stop Netflix from releasing a teaser at San Diego Comic-Con Thursday evening. First we see a faded newspaper clipping of Nelson & Murdock signifying Daredevil, then Alias Investigations for Jessica Jones, Seagate Prison where Luke Cage spent time behind bars, and finally a piece of lined paper that says, “Who is Danny Rand” and shows Iron Fist’s classic dragon symbol.
“You think the four of you can save New York? You can’t even save yourselves,” Stick says in the final moment of the teaser. Is it a coincidence that it’s Stick’s voice we hear? Since Marvel just officially announced Daredevil Season 3 is “coming soon,” we may end up seeing the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen in action once again so he can launch The Defenders himself. Stick’s presence also suggests Daredevil may recruit The Defender’s to help him defeat The Hand. Charlie Cox did suggest a few months back that he’ll be the hero forming the team. Daredevil Season 3 ahead of The Defenders would also allow for Elektra’s resurrection and newfound leadership as Black Sky.
Cox also recently revealed The Defenders will begin production late this year, followed by Jessica Jones Season 2 in early 2017 . Now that Marvel has officially announced Daredevil Season 3, will it be Marvel’s priority over The Defenders and Jessica Jones Season 2?
“The complex one is really running into The Defenders,” Sarandos said during a Television Critics Association presentation. “ The Defenders production schedule will determine the production schedule of second and third seasons. It’s a work in progress,” Netflix’s chief content officer Ted Sarandos said in April.
