Marvel’s The Defenders will finally unite the heroes of Netflix's Marvel’s Daredevil, Marvel’s Jessica Jones, Marvel’s Luke Cage and Marvel’s Iron Fist, the only hope for Hell’s Kitchen. In a kickass trailer that just recently premiered, fans got to see the title heroes team up (sort of) at long last, though they're not all exactly fast friends from the get-go. New images today recapture some of the more dynamic moments from that trailer, showing off the gathered cast and some surprising allies.

Marvel’s The Defenders stars Charlie Cox, (Matt Murdock/Daredevil), Krysten Ritter (Jessica Jones), Mike Colter (Luke Cage) and Finn Jones (Danny Rand/Iron Fist).  Additional cast members include Academy-Award nominated actress Sigourney Weaver (Alexandra), Elodie Yung (Elektra), Scott Glenn (Stick), Deborah Ann Woll (Karen Page), Elden Henson (Foggy Nelson), Carrie-Anne Moss (Jeri Hogarth), Rachael Taylor (Trish Walker), Eka Darville (Malcolm Ducasse), Simone Missick (Misty Knight) and Jessica Henwick (Colleen Wing). Rosario Dawson returns as Claire Temple.
