Will Iron Fist Find Redemption in Season Two?

Published

on

Right now not a lot is known about the second season of Iron Fist but with San Diego Comic Con coming up don’t expect it to keep up its shroud of mystery for long.

Of all the Marvel shows Netflix has released Iron Fist has the hardest job. Not only does it have to further Danny Rand’s (Finn Jones) story but the series has to prove Rand is worthy to be the Iron Fist in the first place. They certainly didn’t do that in the first season as Rand was made out to be a totally incompetent superhero that had failed miserably at his sacred duty of protecting his ancient, hidden village.

Granted, his character got a little bit better in The Defenders and it looks like he will continue to evolve during some of the next season of Luke Cage but there’s still a lot of ground to make up before he’s viewed as a hero. Somehow, Rand was the least interesting person in his own series. If anything Colleen Wing (Jessica Henwick) was the big hero of last season. Watching her develop has been fascinating especially how close she is to most of the evil in New York.

There has been a lot of speculation as to whether Rand will earn his iconic costume this season and truthfully, it shouldn’t matter. If we’ve learned anything from the Dark Ages of superhero cinema it’s that you can dress something up as nice you like but if the story isn’t there it won’t matter. Thankfully Iron Fist doesn’t work in a vacuum. With the help of Luke Cage and other Marvel heroes he can propel his story to where it needs to be so he can finally become the hero he was always told he turn into.

Of course in order to do this he also needs a proper villain to fight against and that just wasn’t there last season. Yes his story told the much larger story of The Hand but most of that was to pave the way for The Defenders. He needs to fight someone real and someone that will challenge him directly, there needs to be real stakes.

But fans need not worry. This is Marvel and Netflix. Both companies have a long history of creating amazing material on a regular basis. Even their bad properties aren’t that bad. They may not be binge worthy or worth watching a second time, but they should always be given a proper chance.

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland.

Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
