Sweet Christmas!

After Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and then a delay so another season of Daredevil could be slotted in, it's finally time for Marvel's Luke Cage to get his moment in the spotlight.

The third of the four planned pre-Defenders series (with Iron Fist to come next year), the series will centre on the titular character introduced in Jessica Jones, and played once again by Mike Colter.

We've already had a couple of teasing looks at the show, with the first coming as a 20-second sneak teaser at the very end of Daredevil Season 2, and then a bigger and better trailer being unveiled at San Diego Comic-Con last month.

Now we've got the 'main' trailer, which gives us our best look yet at Harlem's hero, both in action as we know him and just how he got to this stage, as well as a number of the supporting characters, both good and bad. It looks pretty great, clearly a part of the Netflix Marvel Universe but different enough in tone and design that it stands apart from its siblings, with lots of the action we've come to expect, and here's everything you need to see from the trailer.
