'The Defenders' trailer is here and it's even more epic than we hoped
Watch Next

The first full trailer for Marvel and Netflix's The Defenders is here, and it kicks all kinds of ass.

For the first time, fans have the chance to see Daredevil (Charlie Cox), Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), Luke Cage (Mike Colter) and Iron Fist (Finn Jones) united as one crime fighting team, and the snark -- and action -- is already off the charts.

(It's almost enough to make us forget how lame Iron Fist was.)

The teaser also features the return of Elektra (Elodie Yung), Misty Knight (Simone Missick), Claire Temple (Rosario Dawson) and Stick (Scott Glenn), as well as the introduction of Sigourney Weaver's mystery villain Alexandra.

Check out the 9 things we learned from The Defenders trailer to kill some time before the August 18 premiere.
