The Lips of Charlie Cox

This interview is great.

Jeph Loeb hovers over his little Defenders like a careful (and potentially career-ending if they spoil too much) dad.

All of the kids stutter over answers while they try not to spoil anything. 

Charlie tricks Krysten and Finn into telling us what episode the hallways scene is in (episode 3), and I love him so much for it.

Krysten bragging about her memory is adorable. And her and Mike Colter are freaking amazing.

Jeph Loeb has to remind Mike that Luke Cage is in a relationship.

Charlie on what Matt Murdock is up to: “I think he’s been struggling for a while with his identity as a superhero. At the beginning of the Defenders, he’s no longer really engaging in vigilante justice, he’s hung up the suit as it were and putting all of his all of his energies into pro-bono lawyering.” The fanfic writer in me needed some tidbit about what the hell he was doing, so thanks again Charlie. 

There is a very confusing conversation about how Matt pays for his sweet apartment (If someone wants to decipher what the Brits are saying during their giggle fit, I’d appreciate it.), but at least they acknowledge it.

Mike Colter to Charlie: How do you make ends meet? Kristen Ritter: Yeah, how do you live in that apartment? Jeph to Mike: he doesn’t live the same kind of high lifestyle. Mike: I’m thinking you’re like, squatting there. Charlie: I don’t know how he makes ends meet. Jeph: Yeah you do, we talked about it Charlie: Yeah, we talked about it 

Me: Um…. thanks? That’s not cryptic at all…

8 episodes took 6 months? Well, that explains why we’re waiting so long for the next seasons of Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, and Daredevil. That level of work makes me even more excited, though. 

I’m getting the feeling that I might like Danny Rand in the Defenders… Maybe.
