A new teaser for Iron Fist season 2 was released by Netflix, and it shows Davos’ impressive new power to command his chi and become the Steel Serpent from the comics. The clip shows Davos fighting an unknown opponent, though it could actually be Danny. As he pummels the enemy, the text reads “I have become the thing you never had the strength to be” segueing into Davos’ fist lighting up just like Danny’s โ only Davos’ fist is red instead of yellow.
You can check out the teaser below.

The character will be played by Sacha Dhawan in the upcoming season, and according to the footage played at San Diego Comic-Con, he also has the Steel Serpent insignia tattooed on his back. The big difference between Serpent and Iron Fist is that Davos is able to absorb his chi into his fist and specifically target an enemy’s pressure points, which can be much more devastating than just a brute force punch from Iron Fist.
We can’t wait to see what a fight between the two warriors looks like, and in the meantime, you can find the Iron Fist season 2 synopsis below.
