Well, it seems like The Defenders are absolutely going to have their hands full next month when they band together to take on Alexandra and the Hand, which now includes the ultimate weapon in Elektra. 

While a new trailer would've been more than enough to tide over fans until August 18, Netflix has gone ahead and released the first clip from the series, which features a tense conversation between Sigourney Weaver's mysterious Alexandra and Wai Ching Ho's previously unflappable Madame Gao, who looks thoroughly spooked here.

Check out the clip below:

Blind ninja. Smart-ass detective. Bulletproof ex-con. Kung Fu billionaire. Marvel’s The Defenders centers on four outsider heroes that have to put aside their personal issues and come together when a villainous sect threatens to destroy New York City as we know it.

Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock/Daredevil

Even though I didn't enjoy Iron Fist or Luke Cage, I'm still really looking forward to this.

I could have been first but I didn't want that pressure. I let my family down

anyways, spooked isn't the word I'd use for that.

Hope she's a great villain. She's got tough acts to follow between Kingpin and Purple Man. I think the key to a great villain is someone who disappears into the role and becomes unrecognizable. Villains who just seems like nasty versions of the actos who play them are rarely memorable. Like Alexander Pierce. Fine performance. But really you're just seeing Robert Redford being nasty Robert Redford. Hope Sigourney can do something more with it. Then again not everyone has to put on a voice and have some distinctive physical feature. Sigourney was a good bad guy in Cabin in the Woods, I suppose.

Sigourney has a way about her that's so intimidating. Even when she's not trying to be intimidating, she is. Nice clip.

I wasn't expecting a clip and even less to see Madame Gao act so respectful towards Alexandra. Almost as if she was choosing carefully every word she said and that final part where she hands her over the bag with food to the birds says Alexandra has more authority.

Wouldn't surprise me Gao ends up pseudo allying with the Defenders and is the one that finishes Alexandra privately, just like Stick did it with Nobu in DD S2.

She looked scared from Alexandria. Which is something we barely see Madame Gao as. This proves that you don't f*cking mess with Sigourney Weaver....... unless you're the Defenders.

I would hope that scene ends with a close-up of Gao's pained face as she finishes the bag.
