Today, at New York Comic Con, Marvel Television’s Executive Vice President Jeff Loeb presented a new teaser, trailer, and nearly-handful of clips from the upcoming Netflix television series Marvel’s Iron Fist. The trailer was released online, which you can view in the video above, but sneak peeks were not. However, ComicBook.com was there to view only the goodies and has a description of two fights scenes that showed off Danny Rand and Colleen Wing’s martial arts expertise.

One is a brutal scene with Danny Rand fighting his way through a hallway full of Asian gangsters with hatchets. He pulls out a tiger claw stance and we get to see an impressive sequence of fight choreography (including overhead shot sequence) as Danny tries to reach an elevator where the gangsters are trying to capture his childhood acquaintance Joy Meachum. Loeb followed the clip by teasing that the sequence continues with the fight on the elevator.
As for the Colleen Wing scene, we see her in a cage match with a big man who yells, “This little girl thinks she can fight me?!” Colleen then beats his ass and another guy’s ass to the tune of “Let Your Feet Stomp.” Again, the fight choreography is impressively brutal. The men hold Colleen down and try to break her arm, but instead, she knocks one guy out and breaks the other’s arm. The man with the broken arm still tries to fight, so Colleen beats him against the corner of the ring until his blood is raining down on the canvas.
In Marvel’s Iron Fist, Danny Rand returns to New York City after being missing for years, trying to reconnect with his past and his family legacy. He fights against the criminal element corrupting his world around him with his incredible kung-fu mastery and ability to summon the awesome power of the fiery Iron Fist.
The cast also features Finn Jones (“Game of Thrones”) as Daniel Rand/Iron Fist, Jessica Henwick (“Game of Thrones,” “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”) as Colleen Wing, David Wenham as Harold Meachum, Jessica Stroup (“The Following”) as Joy Meachum, and Tom Pelphrey (“Banshee”) as Ward Meachum, as well as a guest appearance from Carrie-Anne Moss (“The Matrix”) reprising her Jessica Jones role as lawyer Jeri Hogarth
