Marvel’s ‘Iron Fist’ Gets First Set Photos, Shows off Finn Jones as Danny Rand

The Flower Knight is rocking a beard!

A couple of months back, it was finally revealed that Game of Thrones actor Finn Jones would portray Iron Fist for the Marvel/Netflix series of the same name. 

Since then, production for the series has begun, and we now have our first look at Jones as Danny Rand…minus the green tights and yellow mask.

The above photos were snapped by a fan watching the series film in downtown New York City. 

Based on Jones/Rand’s shaggy appearance and bare feet, we won’t be surprised if Rand had just returned to New York after training in K’un-L’un.

In the comics, Rand is a martial artist who trained in the mystical city of K’un-L’un, where he gains the power of the Iron Fist, an ancient source of Chi that allows him to channel all of his strength into his hand. He then return home to Hell’s Kitchen, where Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage just happen to be. 

Iron Fist will be the last of the four Marvel Netflix series before The Defenders miniseries, which will see Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist fight together. 

Also starring in Iron Fist are David Wenham, Jessica Stroup, Tom Pelphrey, and another Game of Thrones veteran, Jessica Henwick. 

While these photos aren’t the costume money shots we want, we wouldn’t be surprised if this series takes the Daredevil approach of keeping the hero out of costume for most of the first season. We’ll just have to be patient. 

Iron Fist hits Netflix in 2017.
