In a new interview with IGN, Marvel Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada touched on his work on the Marvel TV shows and revealed something particularly interesting regarding the company's upcoming Iron Fist collaboration with Netflix.
"The cast is amazing. Another show that will be completely different from Luke, Jessica and Daredevil. That's really our goal. We're trying to offer four shows, that live in the same universe but offer fans a completely different look. Martial arts will play a huge part in Iron Fist. I would also say that Iron Fist has more villains, in our first season, than any of our other shows. There's a lot going on. Scott Buck, the showrunner and his writing team have created a fantastic story for us and have wove in some great legends from Marvel present past. We're still in production so we're not quite at the point where we'll begin promoting it but I think fans are going to dig it. "
Just how many villains do you think Danny Rand will face? We know the series will feature Harold and Ward Meachum but outside of these two, all the other proposed villains have just been fan speculation. Obviously, the dragon
Shou-Lao the Undying will have to be featured so that counts as another villain of sorts. But talk of the show including
Davos aka
Steel Serpent, has yet to be confirmed by Marvel. They've also yet to confirm that Wai Ching Ho will reprise her role as
Madame Gao, who is likely the
Crane Mother of K’Un-Zi, one of the
Seven Capital Cities of Heaven (another being K'un-Lun). Surely Danny will need some help with so many foes. Perhaps those
Shang-Chi rumors are true after all? Although it would make more sense for Danny to get a timely assist or two from Lei Kung the Thunderer.
