This team:
Marvel tried launching a team with that name via Netflix but fate came in and more or less made that a one-off. Now perhaps it will be close to two years before Marvel Studios can even touch some of the Netflix shows' characters or concepts, like use of the name The Defenders.
Still... I can't help but feel there is great untapped potential with this group. Especially with the Fox characters being brought back into the fold and continued talk of some kind of dissolution of the issues around Namor's film rights/distribution. Even halfway following the traditional comics the Defenders on the big screen would bring a lot of the same pleasures of an Avengers film only... different. A, no pun, stranger group than Earth's Mightiest Heroes, the character dynamics are usually of a differing nature while the characters are themselves no slouches in terms of personalities or powers.
Yes, at the end of the day this might well be a pipe dream. But that's not stopped anyone from creating a thread here on the Hype before so, why start being rational now?
So... Thoughts on the Defenders, what are the odds of them doing a Defenders film and even if they aren't... Who would you cast for the characters outside of Dr. Strange, Hulk and Valkyrie, who are already ensconced within the MCU? What would be your line up? What kind of take for this oddball super hero team? What villains would you have them face? Any arc from the comic you would like see adapted? What original concept do you think would work with this team?
Go hog wild Hypesters.
