Finn Jones slips into the Iron Fist mask again!!! Fan gifts him a Season 2 replica at Geek Festival Peru 2025 (photo via @lwreford’s Instagram Story)

Looks like it still fits! And he definitely still looks the part 7 years later. Let’s just hope that when/if Danny returns, he gets to keep that mask on longer this time lol.

His roles in Luke Cage Season 2 and Iron Fist Season 2 were a testament to his talent—especially when given the right direction and the time to study both the character and the physical demands of the role. Finn seems excited and eager as hell to prove himself to the haters, so I say why not! Daredevil is gonna need a couple of strong hitters for his army.

I can’t stand him as Iron Fist. I hope he never returns.

Film-Freak212025-11-16 22:44

Blame Scott Buck (series creator, showrunner for the first season and wrote some of the episodes of the first season) for the quality of the production as Finn had the misfortune of having a short amount of prep time for the martial arts training

ParkerLF2025-11-16 22:49

I think he wasn’t the problem, the writing was. He shows up in Luke Cage written by different writers and he’s a great Iron Fist in that

Live_Answer_38752025-11-17 01:08

He’s better, but not great.

TheMikey22072025-11-16 23:13

He deserves a chance.

A bigger budget means CGI, better writers and better choreography planning and training.

He can absolutely smash it as Iron Fist, it’s all that other stuff that needs to be good for his Iron Fist to be golden.

In the nicest way possible, he played an immature manchild with trauma well and he did the best with the writing he was given. The end of S2 looked promising with Danny becoming more mature and serious. The dual pistols and Orson Randall stuff could’ve been really interesting to see more of alongside more of him and Ward Meachum as there was chemistry there.

I wish they’d greenlight a show with him now and get it out before Secret Wars. If Finn Jones proves the haters right then it doesn’t matter as they can recast with the post-Secret Wars reboot bringing in a new Iron Fist. This time right now is a perfect time to throw things at the wall to see what sticks with the impending reboot after Secret Wars where some characters will be recast and some will stay on.

I couldn’t have said it any better. I would tell doubters to look at Anson Mount as Black Bolt for example—another victim of Scott Buck’s meandering who came from a more forgotten and much much more criticized show. Just seeing how much Anson was able to strive with better direction when it comes to body language, a superior visual and audible display of his power set, an amazing comic accurate design, and a much better understanding of the character. Even though he though he only had one minute of screen time, he stood out and was memorable.

I would even be happy if we got a Heroes for Hire series/movie with Luke. I feel like there’s a lot of potential there and would probably have a lot of people interested. Of course wouldn’t mind a solo focused project either (our best chances right now are a special presentation). Danny has definitely developed alot since his last appearance to be more mellow and chill, and the original show worked great as an origins to Danny becoming his more realized self. I really wanted to see the more mystical aspects and deeper lore they teased at the end of season 2. With a proper budget, we could get to see the tournament of heavenly cities or actually get to see his fight with shou-Lao the undying.

crimsonmail2025-11-17 07:03

Not really comparable, Anson Mount was great and was literally one of the redeeming factors of Inhumans despite the material handed to him.

maverickassembled2025-11-17 08:07

I say similar in the sense that both characters were written poorly in an already poorly received show. Finn did the best he could with what he was given and the limited time he had, and because people started tuning out after Defenders, that unfortunately became his legacy with the character. Anson is a fantastic actor, but all you really hear about that show are the negatives. When it came to Doctor Strange, it was a bold choice to have such an obscure nod to a portrayal that never fully resonated with audiences and hoping they’d be excited. However, Anson did a great job of overcoming that baggage, and creating a stronger moment for his legacy with the character.

Grayx_28872025-11-17 03:37

I am with you on this one. Iron Fist **DEFINITELY** needs a revival series.

CaptHayfever2025-11-17 04:05

As far as CGI goes, the bioluminescent fist actually looked *excellent*.

...The cardboard cutout of a hawk, less so.

Psnjerry2025-11-17 04:36

i think if he been working out and training like charlie cox had since he was done with the netflix marvel stuff why not

mcon962025-11-17 23:33

Why are we acting like the man who played this character for 4 seasons of tv didn’t have a chance?

Realistic_Analyst_262025-11-17 23:57

Because Iron Fist was poorly written

TheMikey22072025-11-17 23:58

Imagine if Daredevil was poorly written, had barely any money in the CGI budget to do cool CGI stuff and had people running it that didn’t properly schedule the choreography for the fights…

Under the right stuff, Finn Jones can do well with Iron Fist. He wasn’t given a chance with the right crew. If Iron Fist was made now, we’d see the fight where Danny beat Shou-Lao the Undying because there’d be a bigger budget for them to do CGI dragons like in Shang-Chi. The choreography for fight scenes would be prepared in advance and the actors wouldn’t be doing it the day of.

We saw Finn Jones do well in Luke Cage with how he was written and we saw near the end of S2 the potential he had.

He deserves a chance with the right team, the original team wrote him terribly and didn’t manage the character or the choreography right. Give him the right team that genuinely care about what they are doing with the character and you have a solid Iron Fist show.

PhilAsp2025-11-18 13:12

>Imagine if Daredevil was poorly written

The Daredevil S02 writers wrote Defenders, which didn’t help Jones case one bit. He was wrong for the role, it happens. He got 3 seasons to try to do something with it, it didn’t happen.

>He deserves a chance with the right team

He worked under three different teams of showrunners/writers. He had all the opportunity already.

We can move on.

Grayx_28872025-11-17 03:37

Nice.

Eric_T_Meraki2025-11-17 11:18

Makes sense to bring him back in a Shang Chi sequel to reboot the character.

Jeczke2025-11-17 16:25

He’ll be na k for DD Born Again S2 - defenders will be back

PhillipJ3ffries2025-11-17 16:38

Am I the only one that wouldn’t mind if he was recast? Something about him seems so wooden and unathletic. I have a hard time buying him as a master of martial arts.

feedback192025-11-17 17:51

He's just a whiney little bitch and the least believable as a martial artist out of the entire group in the Defenders. It was reported that he was always late if he ever even showed up to his training sessions and most of his fighting scenes had to be with a stunt double. He *MIGHT*have started taking the role a bit more seriously in his first appearances after his own abysmal season 1, but he was still garbage. Find someone who actually respects the role and has martial arts training already, or is at least willing to dedicate to learning like Charlie Cox.

Burningbeard6962025-11-18 08:47

You'd be in the majority, it's only a small minority of people who have seemed to have forgotten how terrible that entire show was.

CaptainBasketQueso2025-11-19 13:18

Yeah, it was SO BAD.

It got to the point that I couldn't even hate watch it for fun.

Turbulent_Market65992025-11-17 19:04

The word "replica" is being strected really thin here

Dr_Disaster2025-11-18 00:33

It kills me how his mask in season 2 was fucking dope and they only had him wear it in flashbacks. I thought they were building up for it to be brought back with a full costume, but NOPE.

elevenplays2025-11-18 06:01

I believe Finn Jones is the man to play Danny rand and Iron Fist. He just needs a really good writer and fight choreographer and director. He needs to be back. HE HAS TO COME BACK, KEVIN!

PhilAsp2025-11-18 13:18

>a really good writer and fight choreographer

Defenders were ran by the same people that did Daredevil season 2.

The fight choreographer everyone is so quick to blame was the issue is a 3x Emmy nominee.

elevenplays2025-11-18 13:41

Fight choreographers and Stunt coordinators for The Defenders: Chris Brewster, James Hutchison, and Roberto Gutierrez

Fight choreographer and Stunt coordinator for Daredevil Season Two: Philip J. Silvera

Fight choreographer and Stunt coordinator for The Iron Fist: Brett Chan

If you’re talking about Philip J. Silvera, well, he’s not listed in the Stunts/Stunt Coordinators of The Defenders.

I’m talking about 1998 Blade’s fight choreographer and stunt coordinator, Jeff Ward. Or Shang-Chi‘s fight choreographer and stunt coordinator, Andy Cheng. Those kind of fight choreographers.

factualopinion22025-11-18 20:26

Just let it go bruh

maverickassembled2025-11-18 20:42

Lmao, people were telling me this about Daredevil years before No Way Home came out.

Edit: My point is that I see nothing wrong with staying hopeful and optimistic. There were countless times when i was told they’d never make Netflix series as main timeline canon in the MCU and that they’d reboot. Charlie cox even lost hope long before he was called to do No Way Home.

We live
in a world where Chris Evans Torch, Anson Mount Black Bolt and Jennifer Garner Elektra could return as a beloved multiverse cameo.. where Channing Tatum can be considered as the temporary main Gambit for a until the multiverse saga is over simply because he had a infamous Fox solo movie that was in development hell, and they down to give him a chance.

If someone is ready to prove themselves and to the naysayers that they can deliver when given the opportunity, then I’m all for it.

DannyRandy_212025-11-18 22:52

Cheap ass Netflix version will be wiped clean

They're going to reboot the MCU after Secret Wars

Prestigious-Fox26872025-11-19 21:28

I would love to see Finn come back as Iron Fist. He deserves to play a comic accurate version of the character and I think he’d definitely deliver. It’d be wrong to bring back Luke and Jessica and ignore Danny Rand. Danny has so many fantastic stories that I’d love to see Finn bring to life.

impuritor2025-11-20 19:00

He already had a chance and blew it. It’s not being a hater to not like a tv show. The man refused to learn kung fu and was playing iron fist.

maverickassembled2025-11-20 19:59

This show was infamous for being terribly written, having a rushed production and not allowing for proper prep time when it came to the action scenes. It’s not fair to say he “blew it” when he never had a fair chance to begin with.

impuritor2025-11-20 21:22

Those are all excuses that are apparently good enough for you but not for me. Enjoy what you had. It’s over now.

maverickassembled2025-11-20 21:50

Well, addressing on what actually happened rather than making barely credible accusations about the actor’s work ethic works for me. I am grateful for what we got, and I don’t mind staying hopeful and optimistic that he can succeed with good material—just like many others before him who were given another chance. I’m sorry that you to like to hold a negative mindset and hold everything to such an incredibly high standard. Seems like you’re just placing aimless blame on things without knowing the full story

impuritor2025-11-20 21:52

Lmao get the fuck out of here. Have fun dude.

maverickassembled2025-11-20 21:52

Always having fun brotha. It’s all fiction and entertainment at the end of day, so who really cares. Hope you have a good day man.
