The Defenders doesn't release on Netflix until later in 2017, but that's not stopping both Marvel and Netflix from dribbling out information regarding the cast.
The Defenders Twitter account revealed that five cast members from other shows will be making their way back to reunite. Both Deborah Ann Woll (Karen Paige Daredevil) and Simone Missick (Det. Misty Knight Luke Cage) will be returning. This was pretty obvious, considering both are integral characters in their respective shows.
In a separate post, they also confirmed that Foggy, Hogarth and Malcom are returning. Foggy is Daredevil's former partner at the lawfirm who leaves and gets hired at Hogarth's firm, who just so happened to be the one who hired Jessica Jones for his firm. So it appears he's gone from out of the frying pan and into the fire switching from Daredevil to Jessica Jones. The last character, Malcolm, is also from Jessica Jones who plays her drug addict neighbor who starts to do P.I. work for Jessica.
