Back in September of 2018, Marvel’s Iron Fist released its second season on Netflix. After a rough start, we left things on a pretty dramatic note, with Colleen Wing (Jessica Henwick) taking over as the new Iron Fist and Danny Rand (Finn Jones) heading out into the world with Ward Meachum (Tom Pelphrey) to understand what it means to yield the power of the Iron Fist. It was an amazing way to end the season.
Unfortunately, that was all we would get. A month later, it was announced that Netflix would not be moving forward with the series, preferring instead to make new Marvel shows on its own streaming service Disney+. In the days and months to follow, Netflix cancelled sister shows Marvel’s Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and The Defenders. It’s been a little over two years since then, and fans are eagerly waiting to see if Disney has any plans to revive these series, or at least bring back the characters.
And if they go the revival route, it sounds like Iron Fist is all ready with a third season, at least according to Finn Jones, the Iron Fist himself.
What would have Iron Fist season 3 been about?
Speaking with Collider, Jones revealed the plot plans for season 3, and I must say, they sound quite epic:
"It really was gonna be about Danny finally assuming the role of the Iron Fist, fully accomplished, fully charged up, and fully in control of his s**t, as well. It was gonna be this amazing story [with] Danny and Ward off in foreign lands as a buddy storyline almost. And then, you had Colleen in New York, isolated with this new power, struggling to come to terms with her identity and with this power. At some point, we would have met again and probably formed this crazy power couple [or] superhero relationship."
Ugh, and what a meetup that would have been!
It’s unclear what Disney/Marvel plans to do with these shows, if anything at all. But given their successes, I’m sure there would be a place for these characters and their stories on Disney+. Perhaps starting with Charlie Cox reprising his role as Daredevil in Spider-Man 3? We can only hope, right?
