Isn't she that Australian hacker chick in Bayformers 1?

Yes, yes she is.
She's the only legit Defender so far, actually. It'd be cool to see her suit up.

He should've been Batman
He could totally be Ben's stunt double though.And he was already Deadpool lol.
Yup. As long as they keep the dynamic intact, the swap should not be a problem.

We're getting Hellcat? Was not expecting that.

I knew Hellcat was a Defender, but I never thought that she'd be appearing. Pretty cool!

There's no indication yet as to whether she'll be Hellcat in the MCU. Keep that in mind.
I'm kinda curious what approach they'll take in adapting Alias, since the source material involves superheroes and superhumans in general being much more established and commonplace than they are in the MCU at this point.

Interesting choice. Carol is probably off limits since she's set to have her own movie and that probably means lots of aditional negotiations if they wanted to share the same actress. Making Patsy BFF with Jessica instead of Carol makes no difference in terms of storytelling, so it works with me. Now I wonder if Jessica's

They just announced they are working on an X-Men TV show, so...

Obviously, this won't be getting as common as in the books but I wouldn't be too surprised if the MCU status quo is that 2 years after Avengers, superpowered people, vigilantes or tech villains aren't entirely exceptional either. Particularly in New York.
AoS has established more of these and I believe all the TV shows will keep pushing that idea, if only because Civil War is next year. As I mentioned in the AoS thread, Civil War could be a great backdrop for TV shows.
i was kind of hoping they'd cast Carol Danvers early and have her in here as a civvie but this is actually a better idea. keeps that important dynamic in tact.
oh shit, i like this. If AoU ends with Wanda on good terms with the Avengers that would be amaaaaazing.
i'm also really curious about this. a lot of Jessica's insecurities regarding Carol are because of the Avengers and her leaving that life is one of the central mysteries of the show.
wish we could squeeze a NYC Terri-genesis bomb in the MCU before AKA starts.

They have TV rights, but with the restriction of Marvel project approval.
So basically, Marvel has approval rights to whatever Fox wants to do with X-Men on TV, otherwise Marvel can block if from happening.

Not sure what you mean here, are you saying we don't know if she will be hellcat in Jessica Jones? Because my understanding is it's all connected.

Huh? This is not DC and Marvel have not really changed any character actors from TV to film yet. The only change I can really think of is Chuck being in Thor 2 and not the original actor, but that was just a recast.

I think he might be referring to people not always having donned their mantle yet, while others have already retired. The MCU doesn't amalgamate characters like DC does but they do play with the timelines a bit, like what they've done with Ant Man and Ultron.
Edward Norton to Mark Ruffalo...
AHHHH! That makes so much more sense. Thanks.
Doesn't make sense to me. Age of Ultron is happening right now in today's timeline. When Jessica Jones is already a private investigator. I don't think they're doing a series where she starts out as a superhero and they do the origin story in modern day.

Duuuuuuude we need a She-Hulk show like her most recent run. We already got Patsy.
Netflix. Marvel. Make it happen.

Who else do we think will join the team? I'm sure just like Avengers, there will be more than just the star heroes. Hellcat seems very likely. What about Elektra? Or Moon Knight? Blade? Punisher as an ally nobody likes? She-Hulk? Spider Woman? Her new costume will make her much MCU palatable. Shang Chi? Maybe even Hawkguy, bro?
Yeah I'm curious about this too, not just in Alias but in the MCU moving forward. I've mentioned this several times before I think. I feel that with Ultron and Ant-Man, there are hints that they're trying to establish a larger backstory for the MCU about heroes and adventures which the public didn't know about.

Purple Man escapes the Fridge in 2014. Jessica Jones, Agent of SHIELD encounters him. SHIELD dissolves, she decides not to join any faction & becomes a PI instead.
AKA, Jessica Jones starts.
OK, this can work.
I had no idea this was happening.
Awesome.
Cumberbatch needs to make himself available for the Defenders mini.
I can see this. The back half of Agent Carter, AoU & Ant-Man can really open things up, historically speaking.

The synopsis refers to her superhero career, for what that's worth.
Ugh. That would be perfect. She's only 5'7" though.
I feel like the actress that plays her should be tall already, with mainly a small height/muscle gain. Density > Raw Size. That way the CG budget can stay small.

Very true.
Adrianne Palicki is so insanely good looking I don't really care who they cast her as. She's a good Mockingbird. I really hope for some Widow-Bird-Clint interaction in a future team-up movie.

Annnnd, this explains why she has a Marvel Legends figure coming this year.
Spider-Woman has a figure coming this year too...might be someone to look out for in the MCU.
fuck
I love Jessica Drew, it would be great to finally see her in a Live-Action show.

I'm really getting pretty excited for the side characters in these shows. Marvel Netflix is gonna add so much depth and diversity top the MCU. Do you think we'll see Misty Knight? I could see her introduced in either Iron Fist or Luke Cage. She would fit well in the established MCU as part of the Deathlok program. We know there are more subjects than just Peterson and Garrett.
Maybe Colleen Wing could be introduced in Iron Fist, since she's chi-based as well. Then through Colleen, Danny meets MK, who could connect him to Luke Cage and JJ through her PI life. (Edit: ha! Reading Wikipedia; I didn't know this is basically what happened in the comics!)

I think Misty Knight is a lock by the time we get to Iron Fist.
Netflix generally releases trailers a month before the shows start. They don't market stuff like HBO does. House of Cards Season 3 starts in a month and we only got a trailer a few weeks ago.
