Netflix Drops Highly Anticipated ‘The Defenders’ Trailer

The Defenders trailer features all four Netflix / Marvel superheroes, plus Sigourney Weaver! The series premiers August 18 on Netflix.

There are hallways fights and Sigourney Weaver. Jessica Jones smashes glass. Iron Fist needs special powers to punch Luke Cage. Misty Night tackles the case, and Matt Murdock broods on a rooftop. The Defenders trailer has it all. If none of that means anything to you, then you likely don’t care. For the rest, sitting through all four series (two seasons of Daredevil and one each of Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist) culminates in this series. Looks like none of the usual issues with Netflix’s Marvel properties – starts off fast, slows in the middle, finishes strong – applies here. The trailer features nearly a dozen major roles and fight scenes.

Marvel’s The Defenders drops August 18 on Netflix. Here are the official description, courtesy of Netflix, and the trailer.

Marvel’s The Defenders follows Daredevil (Charlie Cox), Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), Luke Cage (Mike Colter) and Iron Fist (Finn Jones). A quartet of singular heroes with one common goal – to save New York City. This is the story of four solitary figures, burdened with their own personal challenges, who realize they just might be stronger when teamed together. The Netflix original series will launch globally on August 18, 2017.
