Latest trailer for ‘The Defenders’ gives us just enough to beg for more

Add as a preferred source on Google

Ever since the first season of Daredevil back in 2015, fans have been waiting to see Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, Luke Cage and Daredevil team up together. It’s what fans were promised and it’s finally going to arrive on Netflix next Friday. We’ve already seen a couple of trailers revealing some cool scenes and images for Marvel’s The Defenders. This week, we’ve been given yet another trailer for the upcoming miniseries and while it doesn’t reveal a whole lot of new information, it’s still pretty cool.

Fans sure have been anxious to see these four characters together on-screen, but from the looks of the trailer, the characters themselves aren’t too excited to spend time with one another. The new trailer begins with a little bit of humor, as our four heroes are dining together at the Royal Dragon Chinese restaurant after what we can assume was a tense physical battle.

Some weren’t too happy with the first season of Iron Fist, but Danny Rand, played by Finn Jones, gets a couple of worthwhile moments in the trailer. First off, we get to see a brief glimpse of him fighting alongside Luke Cage, played by Mike Colter. Anybody who is a fan of the two Heroes for Hire partners in the Marvel comics series is certainly going to get a kick out of it. In addition, Danny gets to use his Iron Fist to completely destroy a sword wielded by Elektra (Elodie Yung).

Krysten Ritter’s Jessica Jones is still just as witty and sarcastic as she ever was in the latest trailer, at one point asking herself if she is the only person among the four of them who doesn’t know karate. Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock/Daredevil once again puts on the red suit, after what was a very interesting cliffhanger at the end of Daredevil season 2. If there is any reason for him to wear the costume again, it’s to join forces with these other three heroes. According to a recent interview in Playboy can also expect to see the characters change after the events of this miniseries.

The Defenders debuts on Netflix next week, August 18, 2017, and be sure to can check out our first-half review of the series right here.

Update: The original text claimed this was the final trailer, but it seems Netflix had one more trailer in store. The copy has been updated to reflect the change.

Prime Video's home screen has looked the same for years, with rows of tiles that rarely matches what you actually want to watch. Amazon is betting AI can change that, and Jeff Bezos is personally driving the effort.

Bezos reportedly directed Prime Video head Mike Hopkins to overhaul the streaming service so AI sits front and center, according to Reuters. The project carries an internal codename, Lighthouse, and it's already reshaping how the app might work.

New YouTube guidelines are looking to end AI slop and clickbait traps
YouTube

In a decisive move to protect viewer feeds and advertiser dollars, YouTube has updated its monetization guidelines to strip cash flow from low-quality, AI-generated material.

The streaming giant is refining the rules governing its lucrative YouTube Partner Program (YPP) to specifically target "inauthentic content" designed solely for low-effort content farming. Rather than banning artificial intelligence altogether, the revised policy outlines three distinct categories of content that will no longer qualify for ad revenue.

Marvel finally dropped the first full trailer for Avengers: Doomsday, and it confirms the movie is still landing on December 18, 2026, exactly as planned. However, the date puts it on a direct collision course with Dune 3 - the showdown that has been nicknamed Dunesday. After months of speculation about whether one film might move, both studios are clearly holding firm.
