Foggy expire to work for Hogarth , Chao & Benowitz , the law of nature firm run by another veritable player in the Netflix serial , Jeri Hogarth ( Carrie - Anne Moss ) . It was ill-defined if Matt would preserve practicing law , but it seems like the unsighted attorney of Hell ’s Kitchen will apply his sound expertness to get the superpowered private tec out of yet another ok mess she has found herself in .
Power Man and Iron Fist
WhenLuke Cageended , the titular Heron of Harlem with the unbreakable skin was hauled off to the pen .

Friends of The Defenders
The Defenders each bring their parcel of champion , allies , and associates into the fray , and the house trailer spotlights just a few key supporting players . Besides the ubiquitous Claire Temple and Misty Knight , the preview features Stick ( Scott Glenn ) , Matt Murdock ’s short-tempered blind ninja mentor . As cognizant as ever about the goings - on of his former pupil , Stick seems to know all about the other heroes who will contain the Defenders as well . Also reassert to appear in the serial publication will be other fan favorites like Colleen Wing , Karen Page ( Deborah Ann - Woll ) , and Jessica Jones ' good acquaintance Trish Walker ( Rachael Taylor ) .
The War for New York
There will be enemies galore for the Defenders to fight , but one of the elemental antagonistic effect will be the Hand - the evil ninja cabal that has been have in both seasons ofDaredeviland inIron Fist . Most significantly , the trailer includes the Resurrection of Christ of Elektra Natchios ( Elodie Yung ) , whom we see being entombed at the end ofDaredevilseason 2 , after she was revealed to be the Black Sky - an ancient top-notch weapon cultivated by the Hand . Elektra sacrificed herself to help madcap fight the Hand , but Elektra was really sealed in The Hand ’s cryptic and ancient twist , which was powered by blood forfeiture . Elektra ’s return is bad newsworthiness not just for the Devil of Hell ’s Kitchen but for all of New York City ; we have not just a replay and possible rekindling of romance with Matt Murdock in the offering , but we may see a kung fu conflagration between Elektra and Iron Fist as well . It also seems like both Daredevil and Elektra are getting new , upgraded costumes .
Alexandra
The villain trouble that many fans say pestis the MCU seems to be less of an matter with Netflix ’s Marvel series . From Vincent D’Onofrio ’s Wilson Fisk , to David Tennant ’s Kilgrave , to Mahershala Ali and Alfre Woodard ’s sibling Cottonmouth and Mariah , the shows chair up toThe Defendershave do to cast powerhouse actor to make really memorable antagonists . The Defendersscored a genuine powerhouse actor to threaten the entire team by casting Sigourney Weaver as the livid - clad villain presently have a go at it only as Alexandra . The nature of Weaver ’s lineament is being purposely shrouded in closed book ; some rumors suggest Alexandra may on the Q.T. be Mephisto , one of Marvel Comics ' most powerful demonic evils . If that ’s the case , it make gumption she would be ally with the Hand , itself an constitution steeped in ancient dark legerdemain . It seems like at least one face of that magic takes the grade of a power undulation that blasts the Defenders rearwards in one confrontation .
The Colors of The Defenders
One of the coolest things aboutThe Defendersis each hero is defined by a specific vividness . Daredevil is of class red , his hallmark . Jessica Jones ’s hue is blue , Luke Cage is sensationalistic , and Iron Fist is unripe . Each primary color is a signature of their superhero costume or role . The series takes the coloring material coding to another level by lighting each champion in accordance to his or her signature gloss , creating a unique visual language for the serial .
Fans have a mere three months to look before The Devil of Hell ’s Kitchen , the saucy - ass police detective , the righteous ex - inmate , and the kid with a glowing clenched fist unite to support New York City from evil no one Hero of Alexandria can handle alone . Now , the Bob Hope isThe Defenderscan accomplish the critical and lover acclaim heap uponJessica JonesandLuke Cage , as opposed to the letdown that metIron Fist , Marvel and Netflix ’s first major misfire . Here ’s hopingThe Defenderslives up to buff expectation and indeed raises the barroom for superhero action on television . One matter ’s for sure from the trailer : we ’re getting what may be the most awesome hallway competitiveness aspect ever featuring all four withstander !
