When the Marvel Netflix shows premiered, the obvious question was,
"Are these characters in the same universe as Captain America and Iron Man?" The answer was a resounding yes, and then the question shifted to just when we might see these characters interact with one another.
It's not expected to happen any time soon, but that hasn't stopped the stars of
The Defenders from speculating as to how it could happen.
"We’re part of the same universe," Iron Fist actor Finn Jones told SFX via
Games Radar.
"If there ever was a mash-up between the Avengers and the Defenders, I think it’d be really nice to see the Avengers come to the Netflix world. It’d be way more interesting to see those characters fleshed out the same way as our characters are, rather than just see our characters do some big [frick]ing fight scene! There’s nothing cool about that."
"It would be easier to have them come into our world because it would probably be more believable," chimed in Luke Cage's Mike Colter.
"There’s not some huge universal thing going on, some intergalactic thing invading the planet or something like that. Stark’s up in the tower…"
The two talked concepts of where the teams could meet up amongst themselves before agreeing,
"Get ’em to Harlem. How good would that be, seeing Tony Stark in Harlem? That’s [frick]ing brilliant! Although it would be cool to see Luke Cage in a different universe, fighting off some dark overlord. That’d be cool. Luke Cage and Iron Fist in space!"
The Defenders will hit Netflix on August 18, 2017.
