The fight scene in the boxing gym, which was teased right back in the very first teaser for the show in March, gets a conclusion, as Cage lays the smackdown on two goons. Sorry, four goon, in what looks like another excellent action sequence.

At the very end, Luke is reading Little Green by the author Waler Mosley, providing probably the best Easter egg of the trailer. The character of that book series can be quite clearly linked to Cage, as he's a black detective who deals with various instances of racial and social injustice. Little Green is particularly relevant, as it sees the character coming back from a coma, much like Cage picking things up after the experiement. It can also be taken as a nod to Jessica Jones too, since the character is a private investigator.
