In addition to showing what happens the first time that the various Defenders cross paths with one another, The Defenders trailer further teases Sigourney Weaver’s villainous Alexandra and her connection to the villainous ninja organization known as The Hand.
New seasons of Daredevil, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage have all been confirmed, but no release dates have been set yet.
The Defenders arrives on August 18th, with The Punisher coming later this year. Daredevil seasons 1 and 2, Jessica Jones season 1, Luke Cage season 1, and Iron Fist season 1 are now available on Netflix.
Jessica Henwick, who is reprising her MCU role as Colleen Wing for The Defenders, has confirmed that the miniseries picks up a month after Iron First season 1, so The Hand may be looking for some payback here, after the blow dealt to them by Danny and Colleen (not to mention, Matt’s previous encounter with them back in Daredevil season 2).
