So Netflix is making a Defenders series. They are actually doing 4 seasons of solo stuff, one for Iron Fist, Luke Cage, Daredevil and Jessica Jones. Then they will have a season where they all come together.

So who should be who? I have no idea what ages they are planning for these guys, but let's assume it's close to what they are in the comics.

Iron Fist - Bruce Wayneesque business owner by day, kick ass martial artist by night. This guy would have to be able to pull off the millionaire look, but not be afraid to punch holes through peoples chests.

I'm thinking someone like Garrent Hedlund.

Guy looks the part, and can actually act, which is good.

Luke Cage - Sent to jail for a crime her didn't commit, Luke Cage has unbreakable skin, and wants to clean uup his neighbourhood. I feel like this is a no brainer.

How Terry Crews is not the first choice for everyone, I have no idea. He already looks like Luke Cage, and he can act. Ignore the terrible one liners he has in the Expendables, and check him out on The Newsroom.

Daredevil - Blind Lawyer by day, protector of Hell's Kitchen by night, Matt Murdock is Daredevil.

This one may be my dark horse pick, but I gotta do with Michael C Hall.

He's got the chops to play Matt, but he might have to bone up on his kung-fu.

Jessica Jones - After being spashed with radioactive material, Jessica Jones comes out of a coma to find she has super powers! Enhanced strength, limited invulnerability and flight! She later marries Luke Cage, and they have a kid.

Gotta go with Allison Brie.

She has the sarcasm and wit down to a science, and would work well with the rest of the cast.

Hopefully Netflix will cast actual actors, and not gamble on no names.

Yeah, I think Dexter would kill it as Daredevil.

They were thinking about a Luke Cage moive a few years ago, and it was rumoured that Tyrese Gibson was going to play him. Regardless of what you think of his acting, he is NOT Luke Cage.
