We’ve all been eagerly awaiting the first look at Iron Fist, and Marvel certainly didn’t disappoint as they took to the stage at New York Comic Con.
The Iron Fist panel was packed with exciting teasers for the show — from sneak peeks, to the first trailer. But Marvel were, as always, full of surprises, and dropped casting announcements for some of their other upcoming Netflix shows.
Here’s what we learned about Iron Fist, Punisher, and Defenders at New York Comic Con.
- Iron Fist will premiere on March 17, 2017.
- As teased at the close of Luke Cage, Rosario Dawson will be reprising her roles as Claire Temple in Iron Fist.
- “Trust me when I say you’ll be seeing a lot of her,” Jeph Loeb said of Jessika Henwick’s Colleen Wing.
- Finn Jones had to train five hours a day to prepare to play Danny Rand — that included both weight training and martial arts.
- Danny won’t have a warm welcome from the Meachums or the Rand corporation when he returns to New York — people won’t believe that he’s really Danny.
- The Meachum siblings have very little love for Danny and will denounce him as their “brother.”
- Jerri Hogarth will be representing Danny as he attempts to regain control of Rand Enterprises.
- The will be a hallway fight sequence in Iron Fist between Danny and, presumably, The Hand.
- As impressive as Danny’s fighting skills may be, Colleen’s are even more so. She will, at some point, get involved in cage fighting.
- Harold Meachum is a chilling presence — he thought Danny was dead, and interrogates him for information on the Iron Fist, The Hand and K’un-Lun.
- Danny’s mission as Iron Fist is to eliminate The Hand. His entire purpose is to oppose them.
- Marvel premiered the first teaser trailer for Iron Fist. We caught a glimpse of Madame Gao, who, as we know from Daredevil season 2, also opposes The Hand.
- We’re also certain we caught a glimpse of Danny and Colleen getting a little intimate in the trailer.
- Though some set photos leaked, Marvel officially confirmed that Punisher is in production.
- Jon Bernthal came out on stage to announce that Deborah Ann Woll will be joining the Punisher cast, reprising her role as Karen Page.
- That wasn’t all — Jeph Loeb announced that Sigourney Weaver is going to be the villain in Defenders.
- There were no specifics on what role Weaver will be playing — so get started on your theories.
