6 Minor Marvel Characters I Want to Pop Up on the Netflix Defenders
The Marvel Cinematic Universe just keeps growing by leaps and bounds! Not only is Spider-Man on board, but Mockingbird is now a permanent addition to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Patsy Walker is going to appear in the upcoming Jessica Jones show on Netflix — which debuts in only a few days! We live in an age where a live action Beta Ray Bill is a distinct possibility.
Soon
So being the comic book geek that I am, and considering I’m still on my vacation abroad and could use an easy topic, how about we play one of my favorite games and talk about what comic book characters we’d still like to see in the MCU. Specifically, if a character like Hellcat can get a supporting role on Netflix, and if the doors are open for Punisher to star as the villain of Daredevil season 2, what other minor Marvel characters could get a cameo or a starring role on the Netflix level? The sky’s the limit now! Barring any X-Men or Fantastic Four cast members, of course. We don’t live in a perfect world yet.
Join me after the jump for a few of my choices! And feel free to add your own in the comments!
The First Full Jessica Jones Trailer is Mega Scary
It’s possible we may never be able to see David Tennant the same way again. Make sure you have his best episodes of Doctor Who handy when you watch Jessica Jones in order to decompress! This trailer is scary as all get out, and Krysten Ritter looks perfect in the lead role!
Oh man, that is hauntingly good. Spooky, painful, dark; and we thought Daredevil was good. Jessica Jones is gonna be crazy good! Can’t wait for this show to arrive on Netflix on Nov. 20!

Daredevil Season Teased Like There’s Just No Tomorrow!
Did you hear they’re going to make another season of Daredevil? That’s what they do with hit TV shows! A little mini-trailer arrived at New York Comic-Con this past weekend! Check out the first teases of Elektra and the Punisher.
Good times. Good times. They also aired the first episode of Jessica Jones at Comic-Con, and word has it the show is awesome. So all around, things sound pretty awesome!

Jessica Jones Teaser Trailer Evokes Art & Music
The first teaser trailer for Jessica Jones, the next Marvel Netflix show, hit the Internet today, and it’s very evocative. We’ve got moody music, shifty art, and a determined confidence. I like it already!
Of course, comic book fans will recognize the art style as being very reminiscent of Jessica Jones’ original comic book covers. The series was Alias, and it got pretty dark. We’re expecting the show to get just as dark.
This trailer also finally reveals the release date: Nov. 20!
Every episode will go live on Nov. 20, so just like Daredevil, we can watch them all in a weekend! I am definitely excited for this show!

Misty Knight Secretly Cast in the Upcoming Luke Cage TV Show!
Casting announcements have been flying around the past week or so for the upcoming Luke Cage show on Netflix, and while I didn’t really know any of the characters or actors announced, we’ve finally got a live one here! It seems that the show will feature Misty Knight, another established superhero in the Marvel Universe!
Misty Knight will be played by actor Simone Missick, who I’ve never heard of, but I’m sure will do a fine job. Marvel and Netflix have this casting thing down pat!
Hopefully the robotic arm will be included
Deadline made the catch after a casting call listed the character as ‘Missy’.
Misty Knight is a badass former cop who lost an arm in the line of duty, then had it replaced by Tony Stark with an awesome bionic arm. No word on whether or not the bionic arm will also be in the show, but adding Misty Knight to the Netflix universe sounds awesome to me! And perhaps she’ll guest star in the eventual Iron Fist series, since they’re romantic partners in the comics.
