Marvel's new Netflix show The Defenders unites the stars of exisiting Marvel shows Daredevil, Iron Fist, Luke Cage and Jessica Jones for a street-level superhero crossover that's so gritty it'd make the Avengers blush in their Stark-branded supersuits.

We sat down with Finn Jones (Iron Fist), Charlie Cox (Daredevil) and showrunner Marco Ramirez, for them to give us the behind the scenes secrets of the Marvel superteam’s biggest fights, how each Defender’s fight style differs, and how their ‘fight language’ tells a story as much as any dialogue could. 

HIT PLAY to get the insider goss on the biggest action scene of the series... 

- The Defenders is available to watch on Netflix now.

  • Wolverine & Squirrel Girl- Squirrel Girl is one of the happiest superheroes in the Marvel universe. She may have claws, but she has no trace whatsoever of Logan’s misanthropy, which makes such a totally weird couple – that, and the alarming age difference

  • Deadpool & Black Widow - Wade once fell for Black Widow, but not the one we know from the films – this was Yelena Belova, not Natasha Romanova. Except it eventually turned out to be Romanova in disguise. Why so confusing? Because comics. That’s why.
