Iron fist (Danny ) in the mcu
with daredevil coming back with 2 more seasons I think it’s time for Danny to come back with a redemption . with the few clips I’ve seen I think going forward they should open up with Danny taken the power back of iron fist and recusing the city from the combine evil of a newly escaped davos with the help of the hand And since dd had punisher I think they should bring back Luke and Shang-chi to give the character something to do but I would love to hear what y’all would do with danny in the mcu?

Also, please don't bring back Davos
But at the end of the normal part of the show he gets his powers back from Davos and gives them to Colleen.
After the credits roll it shows a very short clip of Danny and ward in china and Danny has his powers again somehow but with some extra juice.
This is why he's far better in his own S2 and the Luke Cage cameo.

But he’s totally responsible for the rubbish portrayal of an elite martial artist. You’ll never get great action scenes when your lead actor has to constantly hide his face even after 3 seasons in the role.
He was, without question, the worst actor in his own show; he was probably the worst in the entirety of the Netflix universe.
I haven't seen him in anything else.

Who really knows I guess.
Jessica Henwick was also a dancer and did well. Finn Jone lacked the physicality. He seems like more of a pure theater kid. The first and second season he doesn't move well in the scenes and the director and show runner didn't want to put a mask on and use a stuntman.
They could have hidden the lack of ability but they didn't so it looks really bad especially in season 1.
It's many years later so perhaps Jones has picked up the physicality, but his casting was bad. The show runners were just looking for someone cheap and available asap.
Charlie Cox was also a lead, also had a lot of action to do, and did not have a background beforehand. He picked it up because he was athletic. He moves well in a way Jones didn't. That difference in physicality is a reason why Jones couldn't sell the action.
Kristen Ritter also doesn't sell the physicality but they set up in a more static tropey way to show super strength and it's in character for her to rely on brute strength and have no technique. So the stunt people did all the work. Wouldn't work for iron fist who is supposed to have extremely advanced technique.
If you look at Asian action Cinema, a lot of the classics had 0 time to rehearse the choreo. It was the folks showing up that day and creating the choreo on The spot. That was where Michelle Yeoh, Donny Yen, and Jackie Chan came from.
It's like they picked someone to act as an American who doesn't speak English and they complained they lacked the time to both learn the script and English at the same time.
Her character earned her place and she carried the show anyway.
I just don’t have it in me to keep doing it in *every* post.
So now I only do a quick post in support of his character because of how many people tend to be against him returning.
Born Again only happened because the original Daredevil was well regarded.
1) Deborah Ann Woll has been hanging out with Jessica Henwick, similar to how Colter is now seen with Ritter and Cox. I haven't seen (or heard of) Jones with anyone, or even visiting production anywhere, not even as a visitor.
2) In-universe, Henwick's Colleen Wing has the power of the Iron Fist and is using it around New York while Danny and Ward are floating around Asia. Yes, there was a clip of Danny using a pair of magic guns powered by chi, but that's not the Iron Fist; he's like the Two Gun Kid updated for modern times.
3) Simu Liu was great as Shang Chi and Awkwafina was great as his lady friend, but neither have been used by Marvel in years, so either Marvel has no appetite for martial arts heroes or they don't have anyone on board adept enough at writing them.
On the positive side, Finn himself has been making a very public case that he wants to return as Danny, and has shown clips of himself training. So he's on board. The question though: is Marvel?
Daredevil getting a nice 8/10.
Never fully watched JJ and I couldn't get through like any of IF s1
All the pieces were there for something great, but they didn’t quite hit it.
Danny will also be the more difficult one to figure out, given the general reception to his show, and debates about his character in the modern day, etc.
People need to just let it happen
I was so excited to see some real action after Daredevil. I mean, Daredevil's choreography just blew my mind.
And Iron fist? He is literally supposed to be some guy who can power magic into his fists.
Imagine my disgust with the number of cuts they did in the fight scenes. I thought it was to be blamed on the choreographer.
Now I know this clown refused to show up for practice. And it makes sense.
Absolute hard pass.
I said, "In that case, all good." Nephew wound up at a different med school, but got the recommendation from his "sensei".
Anyway, with Shang Chi being so well received and cast, there's exactly ZERO reason from a financial, storytelling or any other perspective to bring back a character like Iron Fist, let alone one played by an uncoordinated, ungraceful, and slow-moving actor like Jones.
Why not bring Jessica Henwick back?
I’ve always thought the creation of Danny Rand / Iron Fist was problematic. I don’t think Danny Rand should come back.
Rather, I think Marvel should put more effort into giving Shang Chi a sequel movie soon and giving him appearances in other Marvel properties.
For that sort of art, you want someone who's at least done 3 months of daily training. They need to have the basics down to just pure muscle instinct.
This excuse only works if they only ever made one season.
He was terrible in all seasons.
Maybe give them an origin explanation cameo in Daredevil and then expand it in HFH.
But when he was with Luke, Jones' acting wasn't horrendous.
I agree he was *ok* in the Luke Cage episode. I’d never hire him again though.
Yes they should've cast a martial artist, but finding a fit, blond, white, \~6'0" American man who does martial arts **and** can act is quite a task.
The more specific you are with casting, the more difficult it is to find people.
It was really nice to see an Iron fist in Eyes of Wakanda
What’s the point of him
Sorry, Finn-fans. He was the absolute worst part of all his opportunities.
Or introduce him in secret wars and kill him off so there is an opening for a new Iron Fist
I think I would like to see more comedy version of Iron Fist ( like in animated series ). I see Freddie Stroma in this role ( Vigilante from Pacemaker )
