The four heroes are coming together, along with most of their notable supporting characters, to once again battle the forces of evil on the streets of New York. This time: a resurrected, powered-up Elektra, and overarching villain Alexandra, played by Sigourney Weaver.

The eight-episode series promises lots of action - including, yes, a hallway fight scene with all four Defenders - and some great character moments, and hopefully a continuation of the quality Netflix first established with Daredevil and Jessica Jones.
