New Video Counts Every Time Marvel’s Iron Fist Name-Drops Himself

There’s no doubt that Iron Fist is the least popular of all the Marvel Netflix series, and one reason that fans probably aren’t the happiest with Finn Jones’ Danny Rand is because he likes to talk about himself. A lot.

You can see as much in the video above, which recounts all the times that Danny has name-dropped himself as the Immortal Iron Fist, protector of K’un-Lun.

In just the Iron Fist and Defenders series, Danny has talked up his fantastical origin story quite a bit, and mostly to an audience of listeners who just don’t give a crap. For fans, they’ve had to hear actor Finn Jones run through the hokey dialogue about Iron Fist time and time again without actually getting to see the character fully realized onscreen.

However, after the events of Marvel’s The Defenders, Iron Fist may soon be getting an upgrade:

The Immortal (Costumed) Iron Fist

SPOILERS: At the end of The Defenders, Danny is seen taking up the role that Daredevil has left vacant after his seeming death during the Midland Circle battle. When we see Danny patrolling rooftops of Hell’s Kitchen, he’s wearing a track suit that’s reminiscent of his costume in more recent years of Marvel Comics. 

According to Finn Jones, Iron Fist Season Two could expand on the costumed aspect of the character: 

“I think the way that we’re telling our version of Danny’s story is there’s a real progression,” Jones said. “The first season of Iron Fist, he doesn’t even really know what a superhero is, let alone identify himself as one. It’s not until Defenders and when he meets the three superheroes, that he kind of goes, ‘Oh, you can actually do something with these abilities. You can find a purpose.’

And when asked if there will be a more iconic Iron Fist costume in Season Two, Jones said:

“It will. And look, I’m not the writer for this show, nor am I the executive producer. So unfortunately these things don’t fall on my head. But from an actor’s distinct perspective, I certainly think that will happen within, hopefully, Season Two.” 

Iron Fist Season Two has been announced, with new showrunner Raven Metzner (Sleepy Hollow) replacing Scott Buck. No word yet on when production will begin, or when it will premiere on Netflix.
