Cast and characters
edit- Finn JonesasDanny Rand / Iron Fist:
A billionaireBuddhistmonk and martial artist, master of kung-fu, with the ability to call upon the mystical power of the Iron Fist.[3][4][5]Jones described the character as "someone struggling to find his identity".[6]He identifies with the character's loneliness because he, too, is an orphan.[7][6]He noted that "Danny gets really stressed and really pissed off sometimes, and I understandthat... [his] optimism and where that comes from. "[6]In preparation for the role, Jones studiedkung fu, wushu,andtai chi,along with weight training,Buddhist philosophy,andmeditation.[8]Toby Nichols portrays a young Danny Rand.[9] - Jessica HenwickasColleen Wing:
An ally of Rand, a martial artist who runs her own dojo, Chikara Dojo, in New York City.[10]Henwick felt the word that defined Wing most was "alone", saying, "She doesn't want to be anyone's love interest and open herself up in that way."[11]In her portrayal, Henwick also tried "to pull out that sort of very dry humor that [Wing] has, and that no-bullshit New-Yorker demeanor" from the comics' version of the character.[12] - Tom PelphreyasWard Meachum:
The son of Harold Meachum, a childhood acquaintance of Rand. His work building up Rand Enterprises with his sister Joy is threatened by Rand's return.[13]Although Ward is a character from the comics, Pelphrey noted "we're not necessarily beholden to representing him [in the series] exactly as he appears in the comic book."[14]Stroup said that Ward would experience some "male angst" on Rand's return, because "Ward would have been the one who picked on [Rand] when he was little, so as pure and innocent and great as Iron Fist is, he comes in and he causes some problems" there.[15]Ilan Eskenazi portrays a teenage Ward Meachum.[16] - Jessica StroupasJoy Meachum:
The daughter of Harold Meachum, a childhood acquaintance of Rand. Her work building up Rand Enterprises with her brother Ward is threatened by Rand's return.[13]Stroup said that Joy "absolutely loves" Rand, and his return to New York is "like this rebirth of what she once was, and she gets to ask these questions about herself because he's posing them to her." Stroup said that Joy would initially be unsure whether Rand is who he says he is.[15]Aimee Laurence portrays a young Joy Meachum. - Ramón RodríguezasBakuto:A leader of a faction ofThe Handand Colleen Wing's sensei.[17]
- Sacha DhawanasDavos:
A skilled martial artist who is the son of Lei Kung. Rand's former best friend inK'un-Lun,Davos grew envious when Rand became the Iron Fist. Dhawan first appeared in the ninth episode of the first season; he noted that the majority of Davos' storyline would be explored in a potential second season.[18] - Rosario DawsonasClaire Temple:A former nurse from Hell's Kitchen who joins Wing's dojo. Dawson reprises her role from otherMarvel Netflix series.[19]
- David WenhamasHarold Meachum:
A ruthless corporate leader, co-founder of Rand Enterprises. He was partners with Rand's parents at the time of their deaths.[20]Regarding Harold's relationship with his children, Joy and Ward, Wenham said the dynamic between the three of them "is complex, to say the least. It's multilayered, it's multidimensional, it's surprising, and it's forever changing, depending on the circumstances."[14] - Simone MissickasMisty Knight:A Harlem NYPD Detective with a strong sense of justice, an ally of Rand and Wing. Missick reprises her role from other Marvel Netflix series.[21]
- Alice EveasMary Walker:A mysterious woman with hidden abilities.[22][23]

Production
editDevelopment
editAnIron Fistfilm had been in development atMarvel Studiossince 2000, originally to be cofinanced byArtisan Entertainment.[28]Ray Parkwas hired to star,[29]but the project went through multiple directors and ultimately did not come to fruition.[30][31]Development continued after Marvel Studios began to self-finance their films in the middle of the decade,[32]with Marvel hiring a group of writers to develop some of their "lesser-known properties", including Iron Fist.[33]In 2010,Rich Wilkeswas hired to write a new draft for the film,[34]and by May 2013,Iron Fistwas said to be one of the "projects on the horizon" for Marvel.[35]
In October 2013,Deadline Hollywoodreported thatMarvel Televisionwas preparing four drama series and a miniseries, totaling 60 episodes, to present tovideo on demandservices and cable providers, withNetflix,Amazon,andWGN Americaexpressing interest.[36]A few weeks later, Marvel andDisneyannounced that Marvel Television andABC Studioswould provide Netflix with live action series centered around Iron Fist,Daredevil,Jessica Jones,andLuke Cage,leading up to a miniseries based on the Defenders.[37]In April 2015, the official title was revealed to beMarvel's Iron Fist.[38]That November, Marvel Television head and executive producerJeph Loebaddressed unconfirmed rumors that Marvel was having a difficult time balancing Iron Fist's mystical elements in its grounded world, and that the series could be replaced with a film or aPunisherseries. He explained that Marvel and Netflix deliberately held off onIron Fistnews untilMarvel's Jessica Jonespremiered so that series, revolving around a character largely unknown to the general audience, got the spotlight. Loeb promised that news on a showrunner would be coming,[39]and Marvel announced thatScott Buckwould serve in the role a month later.[3]The series was originally intended to be the third of the announced series from Netflix, debuting afterJessica Jones,but was switched withMarvel's Luke Cageafter Luke Cage became a breakout star ofJessica Jonesand Marvel wanted to "follow the momentum".[40]John Dahl,Cindy Holland, Allie Goss, Alison Engel, Kris H Enigma n,Alan Fine,Stan Lee,Joe Quesada,Dan Buckley,Jim Chory, Loeb and Buck serve as executive producers on the series.[41]A second season was announced in July 2017,[21]withRaven Metznerannounced as the new showrunner for the season, replacing Buck. Loeb felt Metzner's "love of all things Iron Fist and his extensive knowledge of martial arts films made him the perfect choice" for new showrunner.[42]
Writing
editBuck stated the series would have a lighter tone to it than the previous Marvel Netflix series, given that "Danny Rand himself is a much lighter character. He's someone that has optimism and hope, and despite whatever the odds are, everything is always going to work out."[24]On first discovering Rand's powers, Buck described them as "not the greatest superpowers. All he can do is punch really hard... you can use it in some ways but in rest of his life, it's not really all that significant. His greatest gift is his martial arts skills, and that's something he suffered and worked for."[43]The writers and producers approached "scientists to discuss how someone could potentially have that type of super strength in the real world."[44]Loeb described the series as "Marvel's foray into martial arts films", and Buck stated that the comics were just "a starting-off point" for the series, which would be "very grounded [and] character driven".[7]Jones felt the series was "actually a feminist television show" calling the female characters "incredibly strong, incredibly unique, and they really hold the men up in that world... All the men in our show are falling apart. They need these women to hold them up".[12]
Each episode of the first season is named afterShaolin Kung Fusequences,[24][25]while each episode title in the second season is named after the issue title of various comics Danny Rand has appeared in.[26][27]
Casting
editCasting forIron Fistbegan by November 2015,[45]withFinn Jonesbeing cast asDanny Rand / Iron Fistin February 2016,[4]but not officially confirmed by Marvel until March.[5]On casting Jones, Buck said, "we saw him and I think we all just knew immediately this is our guy... He just seemed to be able to display [the character's youthful optimism and badass attitude] when needed and sometimes all at once, so he was very capable and flexible as he brought the character to life."[45]By April,Jessica Henwick,David Wenham,Jessica StroupandTom Pelphreywere cast asColleen Wing,[10]Harold Meachum,[20]Joy Meachum,andWard Meachum,respectively,[13]and by June,Sacha Dhawanhad been cast asDavos,though he was not revealed to be in the role until March 2017.[18]In October 2016, it was revealed thatRosario Dawsonwould reprise her role ofClaire Templefrom previous Marvel/Netflix series.[19]Ramón Rodríguezalso stars asBakuto.[17]
Jones, Henwick, Pelphrey, Stroup, and Dhawan reprise their roles in the second season.[22]They are joined bySimone MissickasMisty Knight,reprising her role from previousMarvel Netflix series,[21]andAlice EveasMary Walker.[22][23]
Design
editStephanie Maslansky is the costume designer forIron Fist,after serving the same role for the previous Marvel Netflix series.[46]Maslansky noted one of the differences in the series compared to the other Marvel Netflix series was the neighborhoods it spent time in ( "the wealthier neighborhoods;Midtown,Upper East Side,that sort of thing ") compared toHell's KitchenforDaredevilandJessica JonesandHarlemforLuke Cage.As such, Rand wears more suits than the other heroes, and given the amount of fighting he does in the series, a good amount of spandex was added to increase the suits' flexibility.[47]The monk costumes and Rand's warrior costume was based on "realShaolinwarrior monk costumes... I took that distinctive silhouette from the Shaolin warrior monk clothing, and we combined it with the traditional colors of the Iron Fist, green and gold. "[47]The series opening title sequence was created by Elastic.[48]
Filming
editFilming for the series takes place in New York City,[49]in addition to sound stage work.[50]Manuel Billeter served as director of photography for the first season, after doing the same for seasons ofJessica JonesandLuke Cage,[51]and Brett Chan was the series' stunt-coordinator and second unit director in the first season.[24][52]The first season was filmed inhigh dynamic range(HDR), which Billeter stated added "a learning curve" to his work, forcing him to rethink how he would shoot certain scenes.[44]For the second season, Niels Alpert served as director of photography,[53]while Clayton Barber took over as the fight coordinator.[54]
Music
editIn late October 2016,Trevor Morriswas revealed to be composing the music for the first season.[55]Asoundtrack albumfeaturing Morris's score for the first season was released by Marvel digitally on March 17, 2017, coinciding with the release of the season.[56]Robert Lydecker composed the score for the second season.[57]
Marvel Cinematic Universe tie-ins
editIron Fistis the fourth of the ordered Netflix series, afterMarvel's Daredevil,Jessica JonesandLuke Cage,which lead to the miniseriesThe Defenders.[40][58][59]In November 2013, Disney CEOBob Igerstated that if the characters prove popular on Netflix, "It's quite possible that they could become feature films,"[60]which Sarandos echoed in July 2015.[61]In August 2014,Vincent D'Onofrio,Wilson FiskinDaredevil,stated that after the "series stuff with Netflix", Marvel has "a bigger plan to branch out".[62]In March 2015, Loeb spoke on the ability for the series to crossover with theMCU filmsand theABC television series,saying, "It all exists in the same universe. As it is now, in the same way that our films started out as self-contained and then by the time we got toThe Avengers,it became more practical forCaptain Americato do a little crossover intoThor 2and forBruce Bannerto appear at the end ofIron Man 3.We have to earn that. The audience needs to understand who all of these characters are and what the world is before you then start co-mingling in terms of where it's going. "[63]
Marketing
editDisney Consumer Productscreated a small line of products to cater to a more adult audience given the show's edgier tone. Paul Gitter, senior VP of Marvel Licensing for Disney Consumer Products, explained the marketing focus would be more on older teens and adults than youth, with products at outlets likeHot Topic.Additionally, a Marvel Knights merchandise program was created to support the series, which creates new opportunities for individual product lines and collector-focused products. Licensing partners wanted to pair up with Marvel, despite this not being a film, given its previous successes.[64]
Release
editStreaming
editIron Fistwas released on thestreaming serviceNetflix,in all territories where it is available,[1]inUltra HD4Kand HDR.[65]The episodes for each season were released simultaneously, as opposed to a serialized format, to encouragebinge-watching,a format that has been successful forother Netflix original series.[49][50]Despite being branded as a "Netflix Original",Iron Fistwas licensed to Netflix from Disney.[66]
Iron Fistwas removed from Netflix on March 1, 2022, along with the otherMarvel Netflix series,due to Netflix's license for the series ending and Disney regaining the rights.[67]Disney opted not to have Netflix pay a large licensing fee to retain the distribution rights for the series,[68]and instead announced that all the series would be made available onDisney+on March 16 in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand, and in Disney+'s other markets by the end of 2022.[69][70]In the United States, revised parental controls were introduced to the service to allow the more mature content of the series to be added, similarly to the controls that already exist for other regions that have theStarcontent hub.[71]

Reception
editAudience viewership
editAs Netflix does not reveal subscriber viewership numbers for any of their original series, Karim Zreik, senior vice president of original programming at Marvel Television, provided some viewership demographics forIron Fistin August 2017, noting that the series has attracted mainly younger viewers.[76]Also in the month, Netflix released viewing patterns for the Marvel Netflix series. The data, which came from Netflix's "1,300 'taste communities' around the world, where subscribers are grouped based on what they watch", showed that viewers would not watch the series in chronological order by release, rather starting withJessica Jones,thenDaredevil,Luke Cageand finallyIron Fist.Todd Yellin, Netflix's vice president of product innovation, noted that audiences watch the series "in order of how they're interested in them and how they learn about them." Netflix's data also showed that a viewer watchingLuke Cagewould most often then move on toIron Fist,while other series with "coming-of-tales" such as13 Reasons Why,LoveandThe 100led viewers to startingIron Fist.[77]In October 2018, Crimson Hexagon, a consumer insights company, released data that examined the "social-media buzz" for the series to try to correlate it with potential viewership. The data showed that when the first season premiered in March 2017, the season had over 120,000 Twitter and Instagram posts regarding it, and when the second season was released in September 2018, the posts had declined dramatically to under 20,000.[78]

Cancellation and future
editOn October 12, 2018, Netflix canceled the series, despite Marvel wanting to have the series continue on the platform.[87]Marvel said the characters from the series would "live on" despite the cancellation, and continue to appear in the MCU.[87][88]Deadline Hollywoodalso reported that Disney was consideringrevivingthe series on its streaming service, Disney+.[87]However,Varietyreported that, per the original deal between Marvel and Netflix for the series, the characters cannot appear in any non-Netflix series or films for at least two years following the cancellation ofIron Fist.[89]Kevin A. Mayer,chairman ofWalt Disney Direct-to-Consumer and International,noted that, while it had not yet been discussed, it was a possibility that Disney+ could revive the series.[90]In February 2019,Hulu's senior vice president of originals Craig Erwich said that the streaming service was open to reviving the series, along with the other former Netflix series.[91]
Jones and Metzner had both believed a third season would be ordered and had planned the storyline for it, with Jones feeling the season had promise. Jones said it would have featured Rand and Meachum traveling the world in abuddystory, with Rand "fully charged up (and) fully in control", and finally assuming the role of Iron Fist. Wing, remaining in New York, would have been struggling to come to terms with her identity and newfound power before reuniting with Rand and becoming a couple.[92]In December 2021, Henwick revealed that she was offered the role ofXialingin theMarvel StudiosfilmShang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings(2021), but turned it down because she wanted to reprise the role of Wing in a future MCU production.[93]
Ahead ofCharlie Cox's appearance as Daredevil inEcho,which released in January 2024,Marvel Studios' head of streamingBrad Winderbaumacknowledged that Marvel Studios had previously been "a little bit cagey" about what was part of theirSacred Timeline,noting how there had been the corporate divide between what Marvel Studios created and what Marvel Television created. He continued that as time has passed, Marvel Studios has begun to see "how well integrated the [Marvel Television] stories are" and personally felt "confident" in sayingDaredevilspecifically was part of the Sacred Timeline.[94]WithEcho'srelease, all of the Netflix series were retroactively added to theMCU Disney+ timeline,withIron Fistplaced alongside thePhase Twocontent of the MCU, afterAnt-Man(2015).[95][96]An update to the Disney+ timeline split out the series by season, withIron Fists'ssecond season placed betweenDoctor Strange(2016) andThor: Ragnarok(2017).[97]
