The trailer begins with Jessica Jones handcuffed in a police station's interrogation room. She appears to be shackled to a table. This is a bit odd, as Jessica has superhuman strength. Couldn't she easily break the cuffs? I don't see anything that indicates that they were designed especially to restrain her.
We hear a voice, which belongs to Misty Knight. I really have to make an effort to watch Luke Cage sometime. Basically, Jessica messed up. According to Knight, Jessica contaminated a crime scene by stealing some evidence, wrecked an investigation, and got a lead killed. Jones explains she was trying to help the lead, but Knight is having none of it. I think this may be the series in which Misty loses her arm.
However, Jessica is told not to say anything more by her new attorney: Mr. Matthew Murdock, everybody! Jessica's face is great here. "What? I didn't hire no lawyer!" Even better, Matt briefly seems to grin before the Netflix and Marvel logos pop up. It's almost like he's saying, "Yup. It's happening."
We next see Luke Cage hanging out in Harlem...I really got to watch his series some time. Rosario Dawson's Claire Temple asks him how being Harlem's hero allows him to have anything remotely resembling a life, but Cage isn't worried about that. He's just concentrating on helping people right now. Claire's voice over goes over Iron Fist, hinting she wants to introduce him to Luke.
Fist sees a man and chases after him, but is stopped by Luke Cage. They ask who each other is. Iron Fist uses Kung Fu! It is not very effective! Luke Cage uses Mighty Blow. It is super effective! Iron Fist fainted!
Fist's voice asks how Luke can't be hurt. Cage asks about Rand's fist over a shot of him preparing the Iron Fist. And then we see Rand smash Cage's jaw with the Iron Fist! In a really cool detail, the shot of Rand's fist hitting Cage's jaw mirrors the shot of a punk attempting to punch Cage in the face from the Luke Cage trailer.
Another funny moment here, Rand introduces himself as "The Immortal Iron Fist", and Cage is like "Whut?!" before Claire tells them they are on the same side.
Next, there's a voice over of Stick talking about the four future Defenders. The shot of Jessica makes me think she's not used to light in general. He then gives descriptions of the four: Matt is the Devil of Hell's Kitchen (Nice shot of the costume in the box), Jessica is the smartmouthed detective, Luke is the righteous ex-con (I chuckled at the bit with Luke breaking the cuffs. His bad), Danny is the kid with the glowing fist.
Next, there appears to be a coffin...with a dead Elektra inside. Well, coming back to life is her things in the comics, I'm guessing she'll make a comeback here. Stick's voice-over mentions that the "War for New York" is here. Stick mentioned this in the second season of Daredevil, so I'm guessing we'll see that plot come to fruition here.
And we get this awesome shot of Sigourney Weaver, who will play the main villain of Defenders. From what I understand, her character's name is "Alexandra". My guess is that since the Hand may be involved here, she may be something...more than human. My guess? She's The Beast, from Elektra: Assassin. Would make sense.
The shot of the four Defenders at the table together is neat. Then there's lots of fighting, including Elektra attacking Daredevil. Nice bit of snark from Daredevil towards Jessica, and the four Defenders fighting together.
The final shot of Danny with the other Defenders is great.
This was an awesome trailer! I can't wait for the miniseries to start! It's going to be awesome!
