Last night's SDCC Iron Fist panel seemed to go down very well, and managed to generate a lot of hype for Danny Rand's return to Netflix after a first season that's been generally deemed underwhelming.

The footage that was shown and the details shared by Marvel TV head Jeph Loeb and co. went a long way towards assuring fans that many of season 1's problems have been addressed, and after Danny's impressive cameo in Luke Cage's sophomore run, it's safe to say that most of us are... looking forward to Iron Fist season 2?

Below, you'll find video of the panel and a rundown of all the biggest reveals and announcements, along with a recap of some of the stuff we covered last night.

To view the images all at once, simply click on the VIEW LIST (ONE PAGE) button below!

Premiere Date

The first order of business for Jeph Loeb and the Iron Fist crew at last night's panel was to officially announce that Danny Rand (Finn Jones) would return for his second solo adventure on September 7.

Yes, Iron Fist season 2 will be available to stream on Netflix in less than 2 months time.

Can The Immortal One's sophomore outing live up to the strong second runs of Daredevil, Luke Cage and, to a lesser extent, Jessica Jones? Well, it's definitely on the right track...

Better Fight Scenes

Although it did have some impressive action sequences, one of the biggest criticisms of Iron Fist season 1 was its somewhat sloppy fight scenes, but things seem to have improved significantly on that front for season 2.

Enlisting a new fight choreographer in Clayton Barber clearly paid off, because, by all accounts, the combat scenes that screened for those in attendance were incredible.

The Mask!

Yes, we will see Danny Rand - and Davos, for that matter - don the comic-accurate Iron Fist mask that we briefly glimpsed in season 1 - however, this will also be during a flashback.

One of the scenes that screened featured Danny and Davos battling for the right to the dragon Shao-Lao and gain the power of the Iron Fist, and both of 'em are wearing the masks.

Whether Rand will sport the yellow head-wrap in present day remains to be seen, but after this tease it's probably a decent bet!

Steel Serpent

Speaking of Davos (Sacha Dhawan), following the motion poster tease from a couple of days ago, we have confirmation that Danny's former friend will be returning as The Steel Serpent.

One of the scenes featured the K'un-Lunan warrior preparing to take on a Triad leader, and before he rushes into action, we see that he has the signature neon hand of The Iron Fist - only it's glowing red, not gold!

Misty Knight

As we revealed in our previous report, Simone Missick will reprise the role of Misty Knight for Iron Fist season 2.

In the comics, Misty and Danny become lovers, but it remains to be seen if the show goes down the route. One thing we do know for sure is that Misty will be reuniting with an old friend to form a certain fan-favorite, ass-kicking duo!

Daughters Of The Dragon

We got a little taste of Misty Knight and Colleen Wing (Jessica Henwick) teaming up to wreck some fools in Luke Cage season 2, but last night's panel confirmed that The Daughters of The Dragon will play a major role in this upcoming season of Iron Fist.

According to Henwick, "Colleen and Misty bring out a side of each other that we don’t often see."

Typhoid Mary

Arguably the biggest news to come out of the Iron Fist panel was that Alice Eve will be playing a villain most commonly associated with Daredevil, Typhoid Mary.

We still don't know exactly how the character will be introduced or what role she'll play in the story, but we do know that she's going to be very formidable!

In one scene, Mary takes down both Misty and Colleen at the same time while wielding her signature dual-machetes. So, how do you guys think Iron Fist season 2 is shaping up so far? You can check out the panel in full yourselves below.

I hope Mary sticks around and faces Matt in the future

HeavyMetal4Life - 7/20/2018, 8:19 AM

@BlackBeltJones - hope she is great and can a) be added to the list of great Marvel TV villains and b) stick around like Kingpin, Jigsaw, and Bushmaster.

Kman - 7/20/2018, 7:46 AM

Who would've thought there would be hype for Iron Fist season 2. I'm actually pretty excited for Sept 7.

Iron Fist just earned itself a vacation day from work to binge lol

GhostDog - 7/20/2018, 7:50 AM

@Kman - I might actually use some PTO and leave work early for it haha

Kman - 7/20/2018, 7:51 AM

@BlackBeltJones - I'm not even stepping foot in work that day lol - I've now officially decided

TheUnworthyThor - 7/20/2018, 7:46 AM

Funny enough yesterday I was watching Star Trek and started thinking what was Alice Eve up to now, hadn’t thought I’d seen her in a while, but when I went to look it up I saw the news for Iron Fist and that she was freaking Typhoid Mary. Asked and answered.

L0RDbuckethead - 7/20/2018, 7:51 AM

Here's some set photos of Alice Eve as Typhoid Mary:

HeavyMetal4Life - 7/20/2018, 8:16 AM

@L0RDbuckethead - wonder what costume she is wearing under there 🤠

L0RDbuckethead - 7/20/2018, 9:27 AM

@ExpertlyMediocr - Yeah, in this scene (to me) it looks like Danny is fighting Davos or members of the Hand and he encounters Mary for the first time, so she helps him escape after he is getting his ass kicked.

@ExpertlyMediocr - I haven't seen the new seasons of JJ and LC, but I've heard (mostly) good things.

I personally loved JJ S01 (DD S01 is the only thing I rank higher), and it was kind of surprising to hear so many people had problems with the second season.

HeavyMetal4Life - 7/20/2018, 8:15 AM

The footage description was epic, cant wait for season 2!!

ALegendaryPanda - 7/20/2018, 8:16 AM

I enjoyed season 1 to a certain extent but I'm very happy to see that they're trying to improve everything this time around

Kumkani - 7/20/2018, 8:21 AM

The improvements are sounding really good. I'm anticipating it now. Hopefully this season is pretty great.

XelCorp - 7/20/2018, 8:21 AM

Where’s the footage description

@Spock0Clock - I see that you are a fellow Community connoisseur, or possibly just a music connoisseur.

@JamesPunn -

rabid - 7/20/2018, 8:33 AM

I enjoyed the story in the first season. The only negative was Danny's Kung Fu. It was rushed into production back then and the actor only had three weeks to learn martial arts. I'm sure he's learned a lot more since then.

IronFeet - 7/20/2018, 12:10 PM

@rabid - His fighting improved over the course of Season 1, so I think it will.

JoeMomma29 - 7/20/2018, 8:34 AM

Sooooo no Gunn article huh? Nothing? Nada?

Kumkani - 7/20/2018, 9:53 AM

@JoeMomma29 - We didn't get a Henry Cavill article so why do we need a James Gunn article? We all know about it. What's an article gonna do?

Tonic24k - 7/20/2018, 8:37 AM

Definitely excited for S2!

lemric - 7/20/2018, 9:56 AM

@TheDoctor1225 - davos from the scene where he and danny fight for the right to face shou lao

Kumkani - 7/20/2018, 10:00 AM

@lemric - Is that legit?
