Let’s hope second time’s the charm, as Netflix releases the first full trailer for ‘Marvel’s Iron Fist’ Season 2 today.
Season 1 saw Billionaire Danny Rand (Finn Jones) return 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 New York City with his kung-fu mastery and ability to summon the awesome power of the fiery Iron Fist.
Although that first season didn’t exactly land as well as Netflix or Marvel would have liked, Danny’s subsequent appearances in ‘The Defenders’ and ‘Luke Cage’ have managed to “iron out” some of the issues with the character. As we see in this new trailer, Jessica Henwick returns as Colleen Wing, along with Simone Missick as Missy Knight, complete with her new bionic arm. Sacha Dhawan is also back as Davos, Danny’s former K’un-Lun best-friend turned villain, who appears to have gained a fiery fist of his own this season. Additionally, we get a little look at Danny in a training outfit which gives a solid nod to the traditional comic-book costume.
Season 2 will introduce some new people, in front of, and behind the cameras. Raven Metzner, writer/producer on ‘Falling Skies’, and writer, producer & showrunner on ‘Sleepy Hollow’, has taken over as showrunner from Scott Buck. On the casting side, ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ and ‘Black Mirror’actress Alice Eve joins the series as Typhoid Mary, a mentally ill mutant with psionic and telekinesis abilities.
‘Marvel’s Iron Fist’ Season 2 premiere on Netflix UK and worldwide from Friday, 7th September 2018.
