10 Awesome Moments From The Defenders Trailer

5) “The War For New York Is Here”

After the introductions are dealt with, Stick gets to the important matters: what the four heroes need to come together to fight. As we all predicted, it looks like the main threat of The Defenders will indeed be that evil ninja clan The Hand. Stick’s involvement makes a lot of sense here, then, seeing as he’s part of (one of) The Hand’s sworn enemies, The Chaste.

“The war for New York is here,” Stick explains as – shock horror – we see a repeat of the shot seen at the end of Daredevil season 2, as The Hand unveil Elektra’s corpse. We’ll come back to that in a moment…

After that, things get serious. From what we can tell, a massive sonic wave hits the city, for what reason we have no idea. We see cars being impacted by the wave and then the four heroes are swept off their feet as chairs fly up into the air around them.

Is this the first stage of The Hand’s plan, or something else entirely?
