With only three months to go, Netflix and Marvel Studios want fans to know that the Defenders are coming. What better way to show off each of our heroes than with motion posters. Via the official Twitter accounts for Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and The Defenders, fans were tweeted a number of small teaser snippets.
Though they’re fun to look at, the most amusing part about these posters are the quips that go along with them—which also illustrate and define our characters’ traits. Take for instance, Jessica Jones, whose poster has the caption, “Your lobby could use a bar.”
Check them out yourselves. With marketing in high gear for The Defenders, we can probably expect another more revealing trailer soon. So make sure to visit Bam Smack Pow often as we bring you the latest news about this exciting, upcoming series.
