Danny Rand is a fairly popular character in the Marvel universe, but he has not been very lucky with screen incarnations so far. He often appeared in animated series, but he still did not have a full adaptation. Many years after the character's debut in comics, Danny Rand got his own series Iron Fist. Actors, plot and other information - we will consider all this a bit below.
Who is the Iron Fist?
This question was asked by many people who are not particularly familiar with Marvel comics. Before we start talking about the actors of Iron Fist, you need to know the biography of the protagonist.
Danny Rand is the son of wealthy entrepreneurs and the heir to a well-known corporation. One day, the Rand family gets into a plane crash, during which the parents of the protagonist tragically die. Danny is found by the monks from the mysterious city of Kun-Lun, who save him and keep him, teaching various martial arts.
Years later, Rand had an amazing superpower - he could concentrate all the energy of his body in his fist, thereby essentially making him invulnerable. Unlike many other superheroes, Danny was not born with his own forces and did not receive them during any experiment. Its superpowers have been gained over years of hard and exhausting training. That is why he justifies his nickname "Iron Fist" at 100%.
Plot
For many years, Danny Rand was absent from his native New York. The family and friends of the protagonist have long considered him dead and resigned to this loss. Returning to the city, Danny, expecting a warm and joyful welcome, was faced with the cruelty and outright injustice of this world. He doesnโt have a house, his old comrades donโt recognize him and frankly do not want to recognize him as a deceased friend, and his fatherโs business partner, who took control of the Rand Enterprises, does not want to share his power with the suddenly resurrected son of his deceased companion . But Danny, too, does not bast. Using all his skills and experience, he is going to continue the work of his family, unravel all the secrets of the past and clear the streets of the city from criminals.
