‘Iron Fist’ Season 2 Trailer Introduces the Steel Serpent

Iron Fist
A new trailer for the second season of Netflix’s Iron Fist shows vastly-improved fight scenes as Danny (the titular character) faces off with Davos, now known as the Steel Serpent.

 

Set after the events of The DefendersIron Fist Season 2 focuses on Danny Rand after has taken up being one of New York’s most dedicated protectors following the presumed demise of Daredevil. Along the way, he discovers that one of the biggest threats to peace and stability in the Big Apple comes from Davos, Danny’s old friend from his days of training at the hidden city of K’un Lun. Davos sought after the title of Iron Fist and the magical abilities that came with it, and when Danny got that power it drove a wedge between the two of them – something which only got worse when Danny ultimately left the realm of K’un Lun, which he was tasked with guarding, in favor of returning to New York to protect it instead. Now, the two come to clash when Davos obtains a power that can challenge the rightful heir of the Iron Fist title.

 

The trailer is heavy on action, emphasizing that the choreography of the scenes won’t be clunky like many of the fights in the first season were (largely due to a tight schedule for the leads to learn the fight choreography and poor editing meant to cover that up). Also of note is that Misty Knight from Luke Cage will cross over into this season and should have an important role, especially now that she has a cybernetic arm after the events of that show’s second season. Overall, this looks like a massive improvement over the first, disappointing season that looks to do this character justice.
