One of the many shows that hosted a panel at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con was Marvel and Netflix’sIron Fist. If you haven’t heard the news, the second season will start streaming Friday, September 7th,Alice Eve‘s mysterious character will beTyphoid Mary, and the Daughters of the Dragon will be an official team – that’s the badass duo of Colleen (JessicaHenwick)and Misty (Simone Missick). In addition, according to the show’s synopsis, Danny Rand (Finn Jones) is going to step up his mission to protect New York City but, “a sinister plot twist threatens his very identity and he must conquer his villains to protect the town and people he holds close to his heart.”
Shortly before hitting the Comic-Con stage to promote the show, I got to sit down with Finn Jones, Jessica Henwick and new showrunnerRaven Metznerfor an exclusive interview at the Collider Studio. During the wide-rangingIron Fistinterview they talked about making the second season, how the action is bigger and better than the first season, the way their new stunt coordinator made sure the fights were perfectly rehearsed before going to set, if Jones and Henwick have been texting some of theGame of Thronescast to see if they would want to be on season 3, and a lot more.
Finally, towards the end of the interview, they played “Ice Breakers”. If you haven’t yet seen it, it’s a fun game that includes questions like which TV show you would want to play a guest spot on, favorite sci-fi/fantasy movie, which film scared you as a kid, what you collect, if you own any movie/TV show props, what’s your phone background photo, and more.
Check out what they had to say in the player above and below is exactly what we talked about, the official synopsis, links and images.
