Marvel's battle-scarred 'The Defenders' find teamwork tough

Oh; it's out already! Have to get through the end of season one of The Expanse, first. It's really, really good.

Netflix really have a handle on Marvel's New York characters (at least with Daredevil and Jessica Jones). Looking forward to this.

Dr. Strange is probably a bit too arcane for what Netflix's take on Marvel is trying to do. Admittedly; I haven't seen Luke Cage's solo outing (apart from the comics) nor Iron Fist.

I'd like to see a DC/Marvel crossover (used to happen in the 70s comics on the rare occasion) with fellow occultists Strange and John Constantine but that's unlikely.

I wonder will The Punisher crop up in this series....

The original comic had Dr. Strange - that would help the team I think.

The original Defenders were: Dr. Strange, The Hulk, Namor (Sub-Mariner), and The Silver Surfer (they made their debut in December of 1971). The characters in the current Netfilx version did not appear as part of the team until much later on in the comic books.

I wonder will The Punisher crop up in this series....

He already has in the second season of Daredevil. Jon Bernthal's portrayal of Frank Castle was good enough for Marvel and Netflix to launch his own stand alone series. It is scheduled to be released (in binge-watch form) this November.
