The New York Comic Con was the place to show off the new trailer for the upcoming Marvel show on Netflix: Iron Fist.
Billionaire Danny Rand comes back to New York City and tries to reconnect his past and his family legacy with his newfound Kung-Fu mastery to take down the criminals corrupting New York. Rand, who is played by Finn Jones is joined by Jessica Henwick, Jessica Stroup, Tom Pelphrey, David Wenham, and Rosario Dawson. Iron Fist is the fourth Marvel series to come to Netflix (after Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage). This debut will lead up to the upcoming The Defenders series starring all four heroes.
And one of the big surprises from NYCC is who will be playing villain for The Defenders, which you can see in the video below:
Other surprise guests peppered the panel including an appearance by Erik LaRay Harvey, who plays Willis Stryker, aka Diamondback, in the Netflix original series Luke Cage. Fan-favorite Jon Bernthal, who plays the title role of Frank Castle/The Punisher, introduced Deborah Ann Woll to the fans, announcing that she will be joining him in Marvel’s The Punisher, where she will reprise the role of Karen Page, whom viewers first met in Marvel’s Daredevil.
Iron Fist will debut on March 17, 2017 on Netflix. It’ll have 13 one-hour episodes.
