People were worried that Marvel's next "Defender" wouldn't be appearing on Netflix until early 2015, but Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos put those rumors to rest at the Television Critics Association press tour,

"...every six months, you’ll get a new season or series from The Defenders group"

If we can believe that schedule, Krysten Ritter's take on Jessica Jones should be bingeable around October or November. He also clarified that Daredevil Season 2 would be next in line for early 2016, in which the Devil of Hell's Kitchen will take on The Punisher.



But don't expect any cross-overs until all four of The Defenders get their own series. Which means, Daredevil Season 2 will be followed by at least Luke Cage and Iron Fist before the team up begins.

I seemingly benign tweet from the Daredevil official Twitter is causing something of a stir for fans of the Netflix series. We already know that both The Punisher and Elektra will be making their MCU debut in season 2 of Matt Murdock's blind-lawyer-turned-vigilante-crime-fighter show, but now we may have yet another villain!

Late in season 1, Murdock gets the help of Melvin, a slow witted but talented designer to beef up his crime fighting suit. The tweet (seen below) implies that Melvin may take on a new role, as Gladiator, one of Daredevil's first villains.

You may remember a couple weeks ago when Jon Bernthal was officially announced as The Punisher for Netflix's Daredevil, season 2. Now, another classic Marvel hero, Elektra appears to be joining the crew in Hell's Kitchen as well.

Played by Élodie Yung, Elektra is a trained assassin and former college girlfriend of Matt Murdock. She's also a long running romantic interest for the blind vigilante.

Get ready for Punisher
