Those of us who came out for theIron Fistpanel atNew York Comic Conearlier this year received a deeper look at Marvel and Netflix’s new series about mystical martial artist Danny Rand, but more new looks are slowly making themselves known to the public. While there’s still a lack of new footage,Marveldebuted a batch of images, showingGame of ThronesactorFinn Jonesas the titularDefender,Rosario Dawson’s return as Claire Temple,Jessica Henwickas Colleen Wing, andJessica StroupandTom Pelphreyas Joy and Ward Meachum.
The basic gist ofIron Fistis that Danny comes home to New York after years of his presumed death. He looks like a hippy dippy vagabond, complete with bare feet and a first-generation iPod, but he’s packing a serious punch. In his absence, his family company, Rand Enterprises, has been taken over.
In the four photos, Danny teams up with Colleen and Claire for a good old-fashioned stakeout, Joy and Ward handles business at the company, and Colleen spots Danny flaunting his skills in her dojo. The end ofLuke Cagefeatured a small but noticeable teaser forIron Fist: Claire pulled a paper tab off of a flyer promoting the dojo, and the actress later confirmed at NYCC that she’ll be kicking more ass in this latest installation for Netflix’s Marvel series.
The characters of Danny, Colleen, and Claire are all officially confirmed to return forThe Defenders, the eight-episodeAvengers-style miniseries about a team-up of the heroes from New York City. In addition to Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage, other supporting characters — includingElektra,Trish Walker, Stick, and Matt Murdock’slaw buddies— will appear.Iron Fistwill debut its first season on March 17th, whileThe Defendersis filming now for a projected release in the second half of the year.
