Marvel teases 'Luke Cage,' 'Iron Fist' and 'The Defenders' on Netflix
Upcoming Marvel/Netflix series Luke Cage, Iron First and The Defenders were all the subject of separate trailers at Comic-Con. Thank you, Comic-Con, for all that you have given us.
The Cage trailer (above) is, unsurprisingly, the most complete look, given that the series debuts on Sept. 30.
Titular star Michael Colter wades through hailstorms of bullet fire -- he's super strong and his skin is unbreakable -- as he beats villainous ass to the strains of Ol' Dirty Bastard's "Shimmy Shimmy Ya." It looks like the series will stick with the "street-level superhero" vibe that's characterized the Marvel/Netflix offerings so far.

The Iron Fist trailer offers less, but it does reveal a look at protagonist Danny Rand before he turns to superheroing. Rand is played in the series by Finn Jones, who looks nothing like he did the last time we saw him as Loras Tyrell on Game of Thrones.
The set of Marvel/Netflix Comic-Con trailers was rounded out by a teaser for The Defenders. In case you're unaware, The Defenders is a miniseries that's meant to tie together the heroes of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist in an Avengers-like super team.
The minute-long appetite-whetter appropriately riffs on all four Netflix efforts but doesn't offer a hint of what to expect from the eventual team-up.
