But Weaver offers this tidbit: Im not a villain, she says.
So whatshouldyou call Alexandra, if not a villain?
Above all else, she cares about living, he teases.

As for Weaver, choosing the word adversary isnt just the Oscar-nominated actress quibbling about semantics.
I think we succeeded in that.
Besides, the writers had dreamed of crafting a character that would fit an actress like Weaver.
It was crazy to talk about a character for four months as Shes a Sigourney Weaver jot down!
And Weaver, after a career of battlingextraterrestrial monstersandsupernatural entities, was also drawn to the parts street-level scope.
Its all about the city, and as a New Yorker, I cared about that instantly.
Making that block that much better for the people who live on it, that really spoke to me.
In other words, a good way to describe Alexandra would be to simply call her passionate.
In many ways, shes an admirable person.
Sounds like shell make one hell of anadversary.
The Defendersarrives on Netflix August 18.
