  • New ‘Defenders’ Teaser Hints at Elektra’s Resurrection

    Some people just don’t stay dead in this city.

    Netflix released a new teaser video for “Marvel’s The Defenders” which points to the return of Elodie Young’s Elektra, who died in the Season 2 finale of “Daredevil.” The video shows the massive stone urn her body was placed into by the Hand and someone pouring blood into — and the urn opening!

    It seems very likely the Hand means to resurrect her just as they did Nobu. But will Elektra be herself when she’s revived — or will she turn into the Black Sky as prophesied?

    Elektra was always mercurial in her principles, anyway, and the video’s sarcastic caption (“Oh great”) and follow-up answers on Twitter indicate that she will be more foe than friend to the Defenders — Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron First, and Jessica Jones — when she returns.

    “The Defenders” begins streaming August 18 on Netflix.

  • The Final Defender Is Finally Here in First ‘Iron Fist’ Trailer

    iron fist, defenders, marvel, netflix, trailer, danny rand, finn jonesThe first trailer for Marvel’s last “Defenders” tie-in series, “Iron Fist,” is finally here, and aims to shed some light on the mysterious hero.

    The clip introduces audiences to Danny Rand (“Game of Thrones” star Finn Jones), whose parents were killed in a plane crash when he was a boy. The young Danny, who was also on board the aircraft, survives, and begins training in martial arts, spending 15 years learning how to fight.

    He eventually decides to return to New York City to reclaim his rightful stake in his parents’ company, Rand Enterprises, only to find it’s been taken over by some seriously shady figures. And in the midst of all that drama, he also has to take down a group of villains called The Hand.

    Since “Iron Fist” is the last of Netflix’s four “Defenders” series to debut before the team-up show premieres on the streaming service later this year, its hero is still a bit of an enigma, and the trailer has some fun with that notion. A scene between Danny and Claire Temple (Daredevil” and “Luke Cage”) features Danny declaring, “I am the Iron Fist.” “What the hell does that mean?” an exasperated Claire replies.

    Fans will find out for themselves when “Iron Fist” debuts on Netflix on March 17.

  • Here’s Your First Look at Marvel’s ‘The Defenders’

    the defenders, marvel, netflix, jessica jones, luke cage, daredevil, iron fistIt’s a superhero team-up that’s been more than three years in the making, and soon, Marvel’s “The Defenders” series will finally be hitting Netflix. Now, we have a sneak peek at the titular heroes together for the first time.

    In Daredevil (Jessica Jones (Luke Cage (Iron Fist (Finn Jones) — and debuted an awesome new image of the foursome. Each hero stares down the camera, looking tough and ready to tackle whatever challenge comes his or her way.

    As for what it is exactly that makes them decide to join forces in the first place, it’s still a bit of a mystery, though Marvel TV head honcho Jeph Loeb explains in an interview with EW that each of the heroes’ individual series has been carefully plotted so that their meeting in “The Defenders” is a natural extension of their existing stories. They’ll first come face-to-face in a crowded (read: filled with enemies) corridor in the Midland Circle offices, a nod to a plot line from “Daredevil,” from which they’ll have to fight their way out.

    “Every one of them is following their own trail of bread crumbs, trying to unpack a mystery in New York,” showrunner Marco Ramirez told EW of the lead-up to the big team-up. “We wanted them all caught off guard. Once they’re in that room together, it’s kind of like, ‘Oh, s—, who are you?’”

    Fans will be able to witness that fateful meeting themselves when “The Defenders” hits Netflix sometime this summer.
