Marvel's The Defenders: Every Character Confirmed So Far

6. Karen Page

Confirmed By: An official announcement, along with Simone Missick's Misty Knight (but again, that'd already been revealed).

Plot Predictions: Just one of Daredevil, Luke Cage, Danny Rand, or Jessica Jones is now newsworthy material in New York - so if all of them were involved with something, that'd be potentially big news. And there just so happened to be a journalist who personally knows one of them, making her perfectly placed to get the scoop.

Karen's burgeoning journalism career has a good chance of bringing her into the Defenders' investigation, whether it's at odds with them or, as is quite likely given her relationship with Matt, helping them with it.

There'll also be the fallout from her learning of Matt's identity, which this series will need to address to an extent. Also, since the character will be appearing in The Punisher series, there's a chance to set that up as well *if* Jon Bernthal's Frank Castle does turn up.

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
