Defenders: Luke Cage Star Teases One Big Bad Villain

"... The things that happened to all of us basically were all because of one entity."

Just like Thanos is a puppet master for the villains in the Marvel movies, there's apparently been a big bad behind The Defenders and each show.

Luke Cage star Mike Colter opened up to TV Guide (via Screen Rant) about the villains in the upcoming superhero series on Netflix. And he revealed that the Defenders are tied together from a single villainous someone or something.

“The villains that we’re dealing with are a combination of several entities, and they all have something to do with our separate stories that have played out in each of our own individual series," Colter said. "So this has been going on for a while.

"It wasn’t obvious in each individual series, but in this series, you’ll find out that the things that happened to all of us basically were all because of one entity. And that’s what’s gonna kind of tie things together."

Now that entity might refer to Sigourney Weaver's Alexandra or a group she's linked to in The Defenders. She's a new addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe on Netflix, meaning she might serve as the main villain for the series.

Don't forget that there's also the Hand and Elektra to deal with, as both popped up in the trailer for The Defenders. Plus, there's bound to be other team-ups and showdowns in the Marvel series as well.

The Defenders is set to premiere August 18.
