Finn Jones Is Already Training For 'Iron Fist' Season 2
Marvel’s Iron Fist was a success for Netflix despite the critical bombardment it received. But [...]
Rush To Shoot
Part of the problem had to do with Jones' lack of preparation before filming due to the scheduling of the series and its crossover followup.
"I went from Iron Fist straight into Defenders," Jones said. "I had a week to turn around and that was all pretty much costume fittings, script read-throughs, and sleeping. In terms of training, really, it has been in the first season and in both of the shows. It's been on the job."
Jones spoke about the differences between Iron Fist and The Defenders and how the latest Netflix series improved on what came before.
"Obviously, by the time Defenders came, I'd been working on [Iron Fist] and performing the choreography for nearly six or seven months, so I'd gotten a lot more used to it," Jones said. "Also, we had a new choreography team [for Defenders] and we had a different cameraman. So, the way it was constructed and the way that it was directed and put together was very different, which I think also helped the show's choreography."
With a second season of Iron Fist on the way, it's encouraging to hear Marvel and its star want to get it right. The show will likely perform well for Netflix, but Marvel Television would probably like it to be held to the same standard as their other series on the streaming platform.
