For anyone left a little frustrated by the questioned left unanswered at the end of Daredevil Season 2, you'll be glad to know that The Defenders will be addressing one of them. Indeed, it'll tackle a literal giant plot hole.

In Daredevil, Matt and Elektra come across a huge gaping hole in the ground, and we're left none the wiser as to what it actually is.

That, then, is what brings these heroes together.

Each of them arrives at the offices of Midland Circle, the location of the aforementioned plot hole. Given the Hand are involved here too, it seems this mystery is bringing the team together. Speaking to EW, Ramirez said:

"Every one of them is following their own trail of bread crumbs, trying to unpack a mystery in New York."

And the person who knows the most about this, and thus pushes the team to work together, is actually Iron Fist. He knows what's going on, and "drives all of the Defenders to get behind him to solve [it]."
