Netflix and Marvel certainly took their time to get started on "Marvel's Iron Fist", but patient fans have finally been rewarded with amazing trailers and an actual air date. Although it has been confirmed that Finn Jones will reprise his role as Danny Rand in "Marvel's The Defenders" later next year, there are speculations that the character will cross over to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Is Iron Fist one of the several heroes who will help defeat Thanos in "Avengers: Infinity War"?
'Iron Fist' Trailer Declares Danny Rand As "Living Weapon"! Should Finn Jones Join 'Avengers: Infinity War'?
There's a good reason why people can't wait to see Danny Rand show off his skills in "Iron Fist". The martial artist happens to have a powerful punch that has earned him the reputation of being a "living weapon". The show's New York Comic-Con trailer makes the reference and offers a glimpse at what Danny is capable of. Not surprisingly, the teaser also has fans wondering whether Finn Jones will end up joining the MCU battle against Thanos in "Avengers: Infinity War".
Some fans believe that Danny Rand's powers would be severely underutilized if the character remains in the Netflix Marvel-verse. There are speculations that Danny should be one of the heroes who will face Thanos when he attacks Earth in "Avengers: Infinity War". However, the protagonist of "Iron Fist" isn't the only one that people want to see in an MCU crossover. Fans are also clamoring for the rest of The Defenders to leave New York (albeit just for a short time) and join the Avengers in the epic fight.
Will Iron Fist And The Rest Of The Defenders Cross Over To MCU In 'Avengers: Infinity War'?
GamenGuide has previously reported about the fans' hopes in seeing the cast of "The Defenders". If this happens, there will finally be a solid connection between MCU and the Netflix universe. It would also be a great way to expand the world of the Netflix heroes beyond their battles in New York. "Iron Fist" will premiere on Netflix on March 17, 2017 while "Avengers: Infinity War" is scheduled for release on April 25, 2018.
