If you were hoping to see Danny Rand donning his iconic costume in Marvel and Netflix’s upcoming Iron Fist TV series, then I’m afraid you’re going to be disappointed – at least in the short term.
“There was no good reason we could imagine to put Danny Rand in a costume,” showrunner Scott Buck tells SFX Magazine. “Because Danny Rand is still discovering who he is as a hero and where he is going to be, so he’s not yet ready to put on a mask or a costume.”
However, as with Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock, who only donned his classic Daredevil costume in the season one finale, we may see Danny adopting a disguise at some point in the character’s future, with Buck continuing:
“At the same time he is someone who is rather well known as a billionaire, so he can’t necessarily go out in public and do the things he does without being recognised. It does become an issue for the character.”
