Despite what was hailed as a ‘much improved’ second season, it seems that Netflix have pulled the plug on a third season of Marvel’s Iron Fist.
Yes, Danny Rand – AKA actor Finn Jones – will not be returning for a third standalone adventure, despite the second season opening much story potential and generally get fans back on side after a terrible first season.
Here’s what Disney/Netflix had to say:
Marvel’s Iron Fist will not return for a third season on Netflix. Everyone at Marvel Television and Netflix is proud of the series and grateful for all of the hard work from our incredible cast, crew and showrunners,” Marvel and Netflix added.
We’re thankful to the fans who have watched these two seasons, and for the partnership we’ve shared on this series.
While the series on Netflix has ended, the immortal Iron Fist will live on.
The ‘will live on’ part has speculation that one of two things will happen.
Either the characters – Jones and Jessica Henwick’s Colleen Wing in particular – from it will continue to be part of the Heroes For Hire and will be constants in the other Netflix shows – Daredevil, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage.
The other is that Disney want the character to explore for themselves on their new streaming service.
So far this is the only Netflix show that has met the axe at Netflix as Jessica Jones we given a third season in April and Luke Cage is looking likely to return any day soon. Daredevil season 3 lands on October 19th. Punisher is also coming back for a second season.
What the future hold for Iron Fist is up in the air, but we doubt we’ll not see him again.
