Among the many criticisms leveled at the first season of Marvel and Netflix’s Iron Fist, was the absence of the hero’s iconic costume. However, while that was a big disappointmen to many, some fans gained newfound hope when the final shot of Danny Rand (Finn Jones) in The Defenders seemingly teased a comic-accurate outfit for the hero in the future.
Still, with no set pics from Iron Fist Season 2—or any material for the second season of Luke Cage—pointing to the hero finally suiting up. many remained worried. Thankfully, those worries have now been addressed by the head of Marvel Television, Jeph Loeb.
In a recent Reddit AMA, a fan asked Loeb whether Iron Fist will receive his costume soon, and while the producer didn’t give a solid yes or no answer, he did tell the fan that they will “be very happy with Season 2 coming this year.”
Once again, this isn’t absolute confirmation that Danny will be suiting up in the show’s second season, but it would be a poor decision on Loeb’s part to tease fans like this, only to have Rand go another season without his costume.
