It's been a long time coming, but we're finally just around two weeks away from the biggest Marvel series Netflix has ever produced: The Defenders.
The series will see the team-up of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist as they take on the mysterious Alexandra and her weapon, Elektra, who seems to be suffering from a bout of amnesia. The eight-episode first season will also see plenty of fan-favorite supporting characters cross paths with our heroes (and each other), including, but not limited to, Claire Temple, Trish Walker, Colleen Wing, Misty Knight, Jeri Hogarth, Karen Page, Foggy Nelson, Malcolm Ducasse, Stick... and maybe The Punisher.
Check out nearly fifty new promotional stills from the mini-series below:
