But, for the most part, this new promo works to highlight Danny Rand as the hero of Iron Fist, introducing the character to casual Marvel TV viewers by way of connecting him to The Defenders.
Danny Rand will be joined in Iron Fist by fellow Marvel Comics characters Colleen Wing (Jessica Henwick), Harold Meachum (David Wenham) – plus Harold’s children Joy (Jessica Stroup) and Ward (Tom Pelphrey) – and Zhou Cheng (Lewis Tan).
The series will also feature The Hand, a villainous organization introduced in Daredevil season 2, of which the Immortal Iron Fist is an enemy.
The series has already garnered criticism for its casting of Danny Rand, while fans have additionally been wary of how Marvel will adapt a character that was created in the 1970s.
