This isn't a fight. It’s just a warm-up. Season 2 of Marvel’s Iron Fist debuts exclusively on Netflix September 7, 2018.

The official synopsis for Iron Fist season two is below.

Iron Fist Season 2 features Danny Rand (Finn Jones) as he fights against the criminal element corrupting New York City with his kung-fu mastery and ability to summon the awesome power of the fiery Iron Fist.

Season 2 furthers the transformation of Danny, a character with a fish out of water coming of age story making his way in a harsh new world, battling to work out who he is. This season, Danny has promised that with Matt Murdock gone, he will step up and protect his city. But a sinister plot twist threatens his very identity and he must conquers his villains to protect the town and people he holds close to his heart.




'Iron Fist' Hires 'Black Panther' Fight Coordinator

One of the biggest criticisms of Iron Fist was the lackluster fight sequences, especially when Danny Rand (Finn Jones) is supposed to be one of the best martial artists in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. It looks like Marvel Television and Netflix took the criticism to heart by bringing Black Panther fight coordinator Clayton Barber to lead the show' stunts.

Announced in a quick fan Q&A after an autograph session at San Diego Comic-Con earlier today, it was revealed that Barber served as the Iron Fist stunt coordinator throughout production on season two.

When asked how the fight choreography was going to be different in year two, Barber explained the thought process behind developing the fight sequences.

"Old school kung fu," Barber explained. "That's what we wanted to do, we wanted to turn this thing into a punk rock song and that's what we did. You're really going to enjoy it."

Barber then went on to reveal an inspiration for the kung fu-style fighting this season.

"Of course, Jackie Chan!" revealed Barber. "That's what we went off of, that's why we're calling it old school."

Outside of Black Panther, Barber is a repeat colleague of director Ryan Coogler. The two both worked together on the set of the critically-acclaimed Creed (2015). While this will be Barber's first time working as a coordinator in the MCU, he's performed stunts on-screen in a season four episode of Agents of SHIELD and is reportedly performing stunts in a few episodes of the upcoming third season of Jessica Jones.

As far as Iron Fist season two goes, the show's lead thinks it's unlike anything we've seen before. Upon completion of filming his part, the Immortal Iron Fist himself Finn Jones took to Instagram to tell fans that Iron Fist season two would be unlike "anything seen before."

"Greatful [sic] to everyone involved, we came at this season with fierce ambition, relentless work ethic, passion and optimism," Jones shared to Instagram. "I think the story we've told and the journey the characters have been on this season is unlike anything seen before. I'm proud, exhausted, but above all, ready for all of our hard work to be enjoyed across the world."

There's hope :blessed:

Davos Showcases New Powers in 'Iron Fist' SDCC Footage

When a mysterious video popped up on the social media channels of Iron Fist earlier this week, we speculated that it hinted at Davos (Sacha Dhawan) picking up the Steel Serpent mantle when season two rolls around later this Fall.

Now thanks to some footage shown earlier tonight at San Diego Comic-Con, it appears that Davos indeed has powers this season. According to ComicBook.com's Brandon Davis, who sat through the Ballroom 20 panel, Davos is able to light his fist up much like Danny Rand (Finn Jones), only that his fist is red instead of yellow.

As Brandon described in his Iron Fist panel recap, in the clip shown, Davos beats men in a club until approaching men in suits in a corner. He claims to be telling them the triad war is over. With ease, he disposes of their two henchmen. The man in charge is not concerned. Instead, he pushes a liquor bottle to Davos. After approaching, Davos delivers a red, illuminated fist to his chest.

In addition to the illuminated red fist, panel attendees also confirmed that Davos apparently has the Steel Serpent insignia tattooed on his back.

In the comic mythos, Davos is granted similar chi-absorbing powers by The Crane Mother in preparations for the Tournament of the Heavenly Cities. The power, which was called a Phoenix Blow at the time, allowed Davos to absorb his chi into his fist and specifically target an opponent's pressure points, creating a much more destructive blow than a strike from the Iron Fist.

While he has gone by the Steel Serpent moniker or his given name for the most of his existence, Davos did briefly adopt the Steel Phoenix mantle while he had access to the Phoenix Blow powers.

They say they took the fight criticism seriously..yet brought in someone from a movie with mediocre fight scenes..or maybe that was just the CGI
The fight scenes in that teaser look just as shytty as the fight choreography from Season 1.
Why not just hire whoever is doing the fight choreography for Into the Badlands?
Into the Badlands is hit or miss. Too cheesy most of this season IMO. I dont want all that floaty shyt all the time
