Jeb Bush may have said “Please clap” to instant viral fame, but that sentiment is bleeding through from Netflix. The streaming service drops “The Defenders” on its service tomorrow, but not without yet another trailer trying to hype up the series, which admittedly, seems to be going over well with critics (though not with ours).
Matt Murdock/Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Danny Rand/Iron Fist are all back, stomping around New York City, fighting crime on their own, and trying to stop the rise of The Hand. At first, they each try and do the job themselves, but as you might surmise, they soon figure out that only by fighting together can they truly overcome the to New York City. It’s nothing new narratively, but fans will surely be pleased to see all their faves hanging out together for eight episodes.
Starring Charlie Cox, Krysten Ritter, Mike Colter, Finn Jones, Sigourney Weaver, Elodie Yung, Scott Glenn, Deborah Ann Woll, Elden Henson, Carrie-Anne Moss, Rachael Taylor, Eka Darville, Simone Missick and Jessica Henwick, “The Defenders” arrives on August 18th.
