New IRON FIST Photo: Danny Rand Blocks a Knife Attack

Looks like Iron Fist (aka Danny Rand, aka actor Finn Jones) has been watching The Karate Kid and practicing his "wax on, wax off" moves. A new image of the martial arts badass and newest member of The Defenders blocking a knife attack from a mystery assailant has just surfaced over at Empire, along with a few choice quotes from the actor about bringing the show to life:

“Danny has to deal with society’s reaction. He comes back and says: ‘Hey, guess what? I’ve been in this place called K’un Lun for years, I’ve got this thing called the Iron Fist and I met a dragon!’ And everybody’s like, ‘What the fuck are you talking about? You’re insane.’”

A dragon, eh? That should be interesting, especially on a TV budget.

Meanwhile, Empire says Jones pulled a muscle in his groin because he kicked too hard while filming (yikes), and the actor also spoke a bit about his on-set injuries:

“When you’re in the midst of fights your adrenaline’s so pumped you don’t think about what you’re doing to your body until you wake up the next day and think, ‘Fucking hell!’ It comes with the territory. If you’re doing two or three fights per week for six months you’re going to get some injuries.”

Season one of Iron Fist punches its way onto Netflix starting March 17, 2017. Are you looking forward to it?
