4 Defenders

The lovely Krysten Ritter will be filming season 2 of Jessica Jones and Defenders back to back!
“They’ll be back-to-back. I don’t know if they’ll overlap a little bit. It’s about to be a serious undertaking. I’m starting my physical training – lots of weight training and boxing.” She says. These Netflix/Marvel series are amazing and the more the merrier. With rumored talks of Blade and Ghost Rider, I mean…all the excite! Luke Cage graces our teles in November when Strange graces our theaters. See more of what Krysten said here.

Genius! See more here.
