Iron Fist is due to land on Netflix in 2017, along with The Defenders, a series featuring the full line-up of Marvel/Netflix characters, i.e., Daredevil -- which has just bagged a third season -- Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist. A first teaser was presented at San Diego Comic-Con, although it didn’t preview any footage from the series, which hasn’t yet started filming. Fans of the genre will instantly recognize the voice of Stick, Daredevil’s mentor, saying “You think the four of you can save New York? You can’t even save yourselves,” as Nirvana’s “Come as You Are” creates a creepy soundtrack.
