Finn Jones Explains What Fans Would Have Seen From the Third Season of Netflix's IRON FIST

Iron Fist was part of the pack of Marvel series that were put up on the streamer, then swiftly knocked down after just a couple of seasons. Iron Fist was probably the least popular of the four Marvel series that included Daredevil, The Punisher, and Jessica Jones, but it still had a fanbase, and after only two seasons, it didn’t get to wrap up, with its creators and star believing they’d be back for at least another season.

Hopefully we will get to see these characters transfer into the film universe or be brought back to series, but in the meantime, star of the series Finn Jones talked to Collider about what the third season had in store for his character:

"Raven [Metzner], who was the showrunner for the second season, and I were sure that there was gonna be a Season 3, so we had already devised the whole thing. I was so excited to get into that. It really was gonna be about Danny finally assuming the role of the Iron Fist, fully accomplished, fully charged up, and fully in control of his shit, as well. It was gonna be this amazing story [with] Danny and Ward off in foreign lands as a buddy storyline almost. And then, you had Colleen in New York, isolated with this new power, struggling to come to terms with her identity and with this power. At some point, we would have met again and probably formed this crazy power couple [or] superhero relationship."

Jones continued, "Really, Season 3 just had so much promise and it's a shame to see it squandered and never get to reach its full potential." When asked about not being able to close out the series, or get any closure with the characters, he said:

"It’s horrible. It’s like the death of a friend or a close family member. You've spent years building this other world within yourself and sharing this other person with the whole world. Usually, with films or plays, you get to see that arc through. There’s a journey. But with 'Iron Fist', it was like we just got to the peak. We were just getting there. We’d just turned the show around. We had just done so much great work, really getting the train back on the tracks."

Jones went on to conclude, "And then, within three weeks of it being released, all of [the Marvel Netflix shows] were wiped out. It was sad. It was stunted. It felt like losing a dear friend. It’s just a shame. There’s not much else I can say."

I know fans felt similarly about all of the Marvel shows. It really was a bummer to see them go. But hopefully it’s not the end and we will see the characters back soon.
