During
The Defenders panel at
Comicpalooza 2017,
Iron Fist star Finn Jones commented on the evolution of his character Danny Rand through the first season of his solo series and into
The Defenders. Is it possible that Danny will make strides towards becoming the
Iron Fist Marvel Comics subscribers are accustomed to reading?
Said Jones, "
The thing [with] Danny is that we’re taking an ordinary kid with a lot of issues and we’re trying to iron those out first before getting to Danny as Iron Fist. And what we’ll [see] in Defenders is Danny coming to terms with being a superhero. In the Defenders when he first starts, he doesn’t even know what a superhero is and then he meets those guys and he’s like ‘
WHOA. This is cool,’
and by the end of it you kind of see Danny really coming to the grips with his responsibility in a much more mature way."
It's probably safe to say that Marvel fans around the world are looking forward to seeing a much more mature Danny Rand, though a certain level of immaturity does make sense as he's likely the youngest member on the team.
The Defenders will begin streaming on Netflix on August 18.
