Netflix has confirmed that Marvel’s Iron Fist season 2 will be coming to the streaming service ahead of the third season of “Daredevil,” despite the latter having begun filming before the former.
The announcement was made at the 2018 San Diego Comic-Con to the delight of fans, as Danny Rand aka Iron Fist is set to return for a second season.
According to Gizmodo, it basically showcases a hugely improved fight choreography a proper Kung-Fu show deserves.
This improvement is courtesy of Clayton J. Barber, who is new this season. Barber is a veteran stuntman and is the stunt coordinator for Marvel‘s highly successful Black Panther movie.
What to expect from Marvel’s Iron Fist season 2
Finn Jones reprises his role as Danny Rand and co-stars with Jessica Henwick as Colleen Wing, Simone Missick as Misty Knight, Tom Pelphrey as Ward Meachum, Jessica Stroup as Joy Meachum, and Sacha Dhawan as Davos.
Apart from the above cast, the new season will also introduce new villains. In particular, the show’s producers are bringing in Alice Eve (Star Trek: Into Darkness) as Typhoid Mary.
Fans of the comic book will know that Typhoid Mary is actually one of Daredevil’s rogues. In the comic books, she has low-level psionic powers and is a professional assassin.
According to Eve, she took the role because she would like to play the role of someone with multiple personalities. She is also a capable martial artist, who Eve describes as “very, very violent”. So expect her to get very physical this season.
