On March 17th, Netflix released a new series for Marvel’s fans. This time, Danny Rand is the man who will protect New York City. Known as Iron Fist – this explains the power of the new Marvel’s character – he lives in the same city (also in the same time) as the others superheroes we already know. Many critics gave low rates to the new show but Iron Fist convinced most of the fans.
Finn Jones stars as Danny Rand/Iron Fist. The actor is already known by Game of Thrones fans as Loras Tyrell.
Check now 5 reasons why you should watch Iron Fist:
1. Danny is the last Defender
Iron Fist is the last superhero who was missing to complete the Defenders. “Marvel’s Defenders” is an upcoming show that will put together Daredevil, Luke Cage, Jessica Jones and the Iron Fist to fight for their city. The solitaire figures will reunite to be stronger as a team.
The new web series will have 8 episodes and the premiere by the end of the year.
2. “The Hand” returns
The famous Matt Murdock’s enemy returns in Iron Fist and reveals to the fans many new information about who they are and their goals in New York City. “The Hand” becomes Danny Rand’s enemy as well and all the show’s story focuses on that.
3. Learn about Asiatic culture and Kung Fu
Kung Fu is a Chinese martial art. To learn and practice Kung Fu requires patience, energy and time. During all the series season, Danny Rand and Colleen Wing – a girl who helps Danny and a Dojo’s owner – fight using Kung Fu and show us all its movements and rules.
