First Defenders Teaser Confirms 2017 Release Date
Marvel debuted the first teaser trailer for its upcoming Netflix supergroup series The Defenders at the Luke Cage 2016 San Diego Comic-Con panel, confirming the show is set for a 2017 release.
Much like The Defenders will be an amalgam of the four series that come before it — Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist — the trailer too cobbles together logos, title, and other imagery from the various series.
All set to Nirvana's "Come As You Are," the trailer highlights the four heroes before Daredevil's Stick (Scott Glenn) comes in via voiceover to address The Defenders.
"You think the four of you can save New York? You can't even save yourselves," he says before the show's official logo appears.

We Will Meet “The Man in the High Castle” in Season 2
The cast and creators of Amazon's The Man in the High Castle appeared at Comic-Con today to answer questions from fans and to tease the upcoming Season 2 - including a promise from executive producer Isa Dick Hackett that we'll come face to face with the elusive, rabble-rousing Man in the High Castle.
"We are shooting episode seven right now," she told the crowd on hand, "out of ten. And all I can say is that we'll meet the Man in the High Castle this season."
The first season was based on the award-winning alternate history novel her father, Philip K. Dick, wrote. But even still, it was a loose adaptation. "The series doesn't follow the same narrative progression as the book and it's sort of jumped around," she said. "It's always been more of a spiritual guide, and it will continue to be so going forward. Though there were things from the book that we didn't get to in Season 1 that we'll now get to in the second season."
Iron Fist Likely to Have Most Villains of Any Marvel Show
Though they will all eventually team up in The Defenders, Marvel has delved into each of its individual Netflix series with a unique approach. Iron Fist will have some help in that process thanks to the sheer volume of villains apparently being thrown into the mix.
During IGN's San Diego Comic-Con livestream, Marvel's CCO Joe Quesada discussed Marvel's approach to its Netflix shows, noting that, while Iron Fist is further away than this fall's Luke Cage, production is underway on the series that is set to include a healthy dose of the dark side.
"I would say that Iron Fist has probably more villains in our first season than any of our other shows," Quesada said.
The Inhuman/X-Men Conflict Heats Up in Death of X
Civil War II is only three issues old, but fans are already looking ahead to Marvel's next huge event. The Death of X, a four-part mini-series coming in October from co-writers Jeff Lemire and Charles Soule with art by Aaron Kuder and colorist Morry Hollowell, promises to be a massive game-changer as it answers the biggest question stemming from the end of Secret Wars: What the heck happened to Cyclops?
Marvel's Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso joined writers Cullen Bunn and Tom Taylor, along with artist Scott Koblish, to discuss this event as well as several other upcoming storylines. Alonso revealed that the story would fill in the gap between the end of Secret Wars and the current Marvel Now! universe, and showed off some of Kuder's fantastic artwork.
