What Happened at the Iron Fist Panel at NYCC 2016
We Got This Covered

The Marvel/Netflix TV originals took New York Comic Con 2016 by storm, as they announced new details about upcoming shows, shared some exciting videos, and updated audiences about some new casting choices. It seems like every week at least one person is raving about these television shows, and this praise is definitely warranted. Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage have all wowed both critics and the general public with their stunning visuals, discussion on difficult topics, intriguing characters, and heart-thumping action. So, it was no wonder that everyone was anticipating the Marvel/Netflix panels at NYCC 2016. And, of course, they definitely delivered. Here are all of the things announced at NYCC 2016 and some extremely exciting developments that were shared during the panels.

The Iron Fist Trailer

Every new Marvel/Netflix original trailer brings so much excitement and thrill, and this one is no exception. With such little amount of actual screen-time, this trailer is able to rile up fans and get them to beg for new episodes – even though Luke Cage just came out. Like Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) and Luke Cage (Mike Colter), the character of Iron Fist (Finn Jones) – aka Danny Rand – has not really been in mainstream media, so the character seems much more enticing than if it were to be someone more well-known. The character and his powers seem really interesting, which also makes the show really intriguing. There are, of course, a lot of questions that come with this small trailer, which makes the wait all the more agonizing.

Deborah Ann Woll joins The Punisher

It’s a curious choice that the writers made when they decided to cast Deborah Ann Woll, who plays Karen Page in Daredevil, as what is a seemingly significant role in The Punisher. Without spoiling season two of Daredevil, it does make sense that this would happen, but it’s unexpected that she would play such a big role. It also appears to mean that this will be a sort of continuation of Daredevil rather than displaying the Punisher’s (Jon Bernthal) backstory, which is following the trend of these series, which is to continue the building of the universe rather than go backward in time. It will be an interesting to see when they put it into action, but it also might turn out to be a great choice, since she did have a sort of impact on the Punisher’s thought process during the second season of Daredevil.

Sigourney Weaver will play the villain in Marvel’s The Defenders

Announcing that Sigourney Weaver was going to be a villain of the upcoming Defenders series was just icing on the cake. Weaver is such a great actor with a fantastic resume, and seeing her join what is already an amazing cast is something so great to see. Because she mostly plays a hero-type roll, it will be refreshing to see her as a villain. Since there have already been some spectacular villains written on each of these shows, it will be extremely exciting to see her in action as a comic book villain.

Season 1 of Iron Fist is set to premiere March 17, 2016, Season 1 of The Defenders is set for 2017, Season 1 of The Punisher is set for 2017, Season 2 of Jessica Jones is set for 2018 (at the earliest), and Season 3 of Daredevil is set for 2018 (at the earliest. (Luke Cage has not been officially renewed, but, if it is, it is likely to come in 2019.)

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
