1) “We Make Quite The Team”
Speaking of The Avengers, the trailer ends with a fun bit of banter between the heroes as they grab a bite to eat. Marvel fans will no doubt be reminded of the post-credits scene of the 2012 blockbuster in which Tony Stark takes his team out for some shawarma in the aftermath of the Battle of New York.
In The Defenders, the gang have gone out for some Chinese food – we imagine billionaire Danny Rand will pick up the bill. Indeed, it looks like Mr. Rand is the one who’s most enthused by their team-up. “We make quite the team,” he beams, before Jessica shoots him down.
In a similar scene to Stick’s introductory sequence earlier, Danny runs through the team’s USPs – e.g. Luke is bulletproof, Matt is a blind ninja, Jessica is…. whatever she is – as we get some clips of them in action. Jessica, once again, isn’t impressed, which causes Luke to laugh.
One of the big worries we had about the show is that the four heroes wouldn’t gel when placed together. This scene promises us though that the Defenders coming together should be just as much fun as we’d hoped. Roll on August 18th!
