Netflix's newest Marvel series, Iron Fist, will debut on the streaming service on March 17. This will be the company's fourth show expanding the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With the newest trailer being released, we thought we'd break it down to see what we can learn.
Danny Rand Has Been Away From Home Since He Was 10
Early on, it's revealed that Danny Rand has been away since he was a kid. He was the lone survivor of a plane crash that killed his parents. We see one shot of him, as a child, laying in the snow and another during his martial arts training.
He's Become Extremely Proficient At Martial Arts
Rand returns to his home, and people notice that he has some sweet martial arts skills. Rand says he trained at K'un-Lun, which--we're guessing--is close to where Rand's plane crashed. He spent at least a decade training there, probably more since we can't pinpoint his age in the present day.
He Has Superhuman Abilities
K'un-Lun does more than teach people in its world-renowned class, how to punch and kick. It apparently can help you develop superhuman abilities. In quite a few scenes, Rand's hands are glowing, and we even see him punching through walls and windows with this power, with no apparent damage to his hands. At the end of the trailer, he calls himself "the Iron Fist," so that may give you some hints about his powers.
He Has A Different Look Than His Comic Book Counterpart
With all of the Marvel/Netflix ventures, there are going to be some departures from the source material. From what we see in the trailer, Rand is wearing street clothes during his battles and no mask. He does, however, have the dragon tattoo from the comics. In time, he may get his comic book costume, much like Daredevil did during the final episode of his first season.
The Hand Controls His Father's Company
Danny Rand returned and knows something sinister is really controls his father's company. We see a few clues that lead us to believe that it's The Hand, which you may know from Daredevil. The man running the company, who is actually working for The Hand, is Harold Meachum.
Claire Temple Is Back
There has only been one constant in all of the Marvel/Netflix shows: Claire Temple. Rosario Dawson reprises her role once again, and somehow, she gets wrapped up with a small-time superhero in New York City. She knows the enemy that Rand is trying to take down, so she'll be a great help during the series.
He Partners With Colleen Wing
Towards the end of the trailer, we see Rand has partnered with Colleen Wing. In the comics, she is a samurai who later becomes best friends with Misty Knight, whom we saw in Luke Cage. She's another character who connects all of the Netflix shows.
Who The Heck Is This Person?
Very briefly, we see a person in a white mask walking down the street during a party. Who is this person? Could they be someone from The Hand or an ally to Rand? Could this could be a misdirection, making us think this is a person of importance?
We'll find out more about the series and the person in the mask when Iron Fist comes to Netflix on March 17.
