The Marvel TV panel is currently in full swing at New York Comic Con with the upcoming Netflix series, Iron Fist being the first to take the stage where the cast and crew debuted some footage. Read on to find out what was shown.
Comicbook.com who were present at the event has revealed the following description of the footage:
In it, we see Rand (as an adult) returning to America, walking through the streets of New York. He looks at the skyscrapers with childlike wonder. He sees his family company on Vanderbilt Avenue and tells a nearby food vendor, “That’s my building!” The food vendor is understandably skeptical. Rand enters the building asking for Harold Meachum, but the front desk clerk is also skeptical. She shooed Danny to the side, where he watches a video intro about Rand Enterprises featuring Harold and his son Ward. Security then arrives to escort Danny (who does look like a street vagrant) out of the building. Danny then displays some calm – even considerate – martial arts prowess, dancing around the guards, lightly disarming them, and spinning his way into the elevator to go up and see Harodl Meachum. His fighting style and mannerisms are cool and compassionate, using non-aggressive fighting styles like Jujitsu.”
The panel then went on to reveal another clip:
This one is a more brutal scene, with Danny Rand fighting his way through a hallway full of Asian gangsters with hatchets. He pulls out a tiger claw stance and we get to see an impressive sequence of fight choreography (including overhead shot sequence) as Danny tries to reach an elevator where the gangsters are trying to capture Joy. Loeb followed the clip by teasing that the sequence continues with the fight on the elevator.”
They also shown a clip highlighting Jessica Henwick’s Colleen Wing, the clip saw:
Colleen Wing in a cage match with a big man who yells, “This little girl thinks she can fight me?!” Colleen then beats his ass and another guy’s ass to the tune of “Let Your Feet Stomp.” Again, the fight choreography is impressively brutal. The men hold Colleen down and try to break her arm – only to have her reverse on them, knock one guy out and break the other’s arm. The man with the broken arm still tries to fight, so Colleen beats him against the corner of the ring until his blood is raining down on the canvas.”
Present at the panel was showrunner Scott Buck and head of Marvel television, Jeph Loeb whilst the cast present included Iron Fist himself, Finn Jones, Colleen Wing actress Jessica Henwick aswell as Jessica Stroup, Tom Pelphry and David Wenham who play Joy, Ward and Harold Meachum respectively. Also present and being confirmed as part of the cast for the first time is Rosario Dawson, who has so far appeared in all the previous Netflix series as nurse, Claire Temple.
Returning to New York City after being missing for years, Daniel Rand fights against the criminal element corrupting New York City with his incredible kung-fu mastery and ability to summon the awesome power of the fiery Iron Fist.
Iron Fist is due to hit the streaming service March 17th, 2017
