Iron Fist wasn’t exactly the most popular Marvel show on Netflix. In fact, its first season was a rare misfire for Marvel. And it received heavy criticism from us and just about everyone else. Still, it was part of a larger deal between Netflix and Marvel. And the other shows, primarily Daredevil and Jessica Jones, were much more successful. With the second season’s showrunner swap and fewer episodes, Iron Fist began to find its footing. And it came as a massive surprise when Netflix canceled the show in 2018. But it was only the first to go. All Netflix/Marvel shows would soon follow, most likely making room for Disney+ to be the Marvel TV haven.
Now, Finn Jones has shed a little light on what would have occurred in Season 3 following Season 2’s cliffhanger. In a Collider interview promoting Season 2 of the Apple TV+ series Dickinson, Jones said:
It’s a shame Iron Fist never got to reach its full potential. And Jones would go on to equate the cancellation to the death of a close friend. With Season 2 course-correcting the show, he felt they had gotten the “train back on the tracks.”
