Jeph Loeb confirm that Netflix's 'Iron Fist' will be coming back for a second season... soon!


Marvel’s 'Iron Fist', the television series about a young billionaire who kicks-ass in New York City as a member of The Defenders, will return to Netflix for a second season.

Jeph Loeb, the head of Marvel Television, made the announcement yesterday during the San Diego Comic-Con panel for Netflix’s The Defenders. The news came after the fans were treated when the main cast of the highly anticipated series appeared together on stage in Hall H to a standing ovation: Charlie Cox as Daredevil, Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones, Mike Colter as Luke Cage, Finn Jones as Iron Fist, Sigourney Weaver as the villain Alexandra, Elodie Yung as Elektra, Deborah Ann Woll as Karen Page, Jessica Henwick as Colleen Wing. Marco Ramirez, the series’ showrunner, rounded out the group of panellists (I'm so fricking jealous).

Loeb did not give a release window for Iron Fist’s second season, although he said that production will begin very soon. Entertainment Weekly reports that Loeb did hint at the appearance of Luke Cage’s Misty Knight (Simone Missick) in season two. Marvel also said on Twitter that the season is “coming soon.”

Iron Fist, which premiered this past March with a 13-episode season, was the first of Netflix’s Marvel series to be widely panned and it did not resonate to well with fans. The hole thing was not great, Finn Jones struggled to fully immerse himself in the role of Danny Rand, I love Finn, he has a lot of talent, but for me it just didn't make sense casting him (a man that looks like he has never had a fight in his life) as the martial arts genius that is Danny fricking Rand. I hope that the second season will prove different and that he starts to grown into his role.
Following the Iron Fist season two announcement, Loeb screened the full first episode of The Defenders for the audience in Hall H. The series debuts Aug. 18 on Netflix.

Paul Thomas Anderson Week: 'There Will Be Blood' Review!

• There Will Be Blood, 2007 • 8.2/10 • Firstly, I would like to start with Daniel Day Lewis' mesmerizing performance as the ruthless oil prospector, Daniel Plainview. The scumbag cons local landowners into selling their valuable land for pittance, and then he comes along like a "straw" and "sucks it all up," leaving him very wealthy and everyone else in his way. Paul Dano, Wow, do you really expect anything less than magic when it comes to him acting, he's a true tour de force. I wish we had preachers like Eli Sunday up at my local church. Johnny Greenwood's score is brilliant, it really gets under your skin, you then combine that with the gorgeous cinematography, smart screenplay and the brilliant acting, you then have yourself a film where even if your not paying complete attention, you will still hate the lead by the end, all the same! Yeah, I did just say that. I'm sorry peeps but it got a little boring at times (it didn't keep me hook

'Tomb Raider' Review: First Successful Game Adaptation! Kudos!

Image
• Tomb Raider, 2018 • 7.9/10 • Alicia Vikander gives Lara depth and personality much like Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones. She's vulnerable, but she's also stubborn and focused to survive on her own and has never lost hope that she'll once again see her father. The story is built on the reboot of the video game series, but takes another way after the arrival at the destination where most of the action takes place. When the story follows the video game it has weaknesses (as so many games adaptations do), but when it stands on its own, it shows glimpses of coming adventures for Lara Croft that makes you want more -- much because of Vikanders grounded performance. The script is by no means perfect, the CGI was a bit spotty in places, and yes there are a few cliches and overused story devices here and there, but overall it is an enjoyable film and our first successful game adaptation! Yesss! P.S - Dominc West was the perfect choice for Mr. Croft!

'OldBoy' Review: WOW!

Image
• Oldboy, 2003 • 9.6/10 • 'Oldboy' is one of the most intense movies you will ever see. Breathtaking, brutal and easily one of the best revenge movies ever made. Every shot is bursting with background detail and wonderful colour. The screenplay is probably one of the best I have ever seen. The acting is amazing, especially Choi as the main protagonist Dae-su Oh. All the actors did great but his performance was powerful, emotional and raw (all you need to do is see the infamous squid scene). I also highly commend Ji-tae Yu, he put in a spectacularly believable performance as the sadistic and very lonely Woo-jin Lee. Chan-wook Park gives this movie a very unique style with his subliminal direction and his extremely intelligent and edgy script. It will leave you guessing right up until the very end whilst simultaneously making you think and question your moral compass! Must see! Thoughts??
