WhileFinn Jonesis filmingThe Defendersfor Marvel and Netflix withCharlie Cox,Krysten Ritter, andMike Colter, we still have to get through his solo series before seeing the heroes of Hell’s Kitchen unite againstSigourney Weaver.Iron Fistwill bow on the streaming platform Friday, March 17th, and it seems we now have a nearly full list of episode titles and directors.
As pointed out byBleeding Cool, the British film censorship board, The BBFC, has been posting ratings for each ofIron Fist’s 13 episodes and revealing the titles and directors behind them in the process. While most of them have a rating of 15 (meaning no one under the age of 15 can view them), Episode 7 got a rating of 18 for “strong bloody violence,” while Episode 11 got a rating of 12 for “mild violence.”
Aftersearching through the site, here’s as close to a complete list of episode titles we could get.
Episode 1: “Snow Gives Way,” directed byJohn Dahl
Episode 2: “Shadow Hawk Takes Flight,” directed by John Dahl
Episode 3: “Rolling Thunder Cannon Punch,” directed byTom Shankland
Episode 4: “Eight Diagram Dragon Palm,” directed by TBD
Episode 5: “Under Leaf Pluck Lotus,” directed byUta Briesewitz
Episode 6: “Immortal Emerges From Cave,” directed by TBD.
Episode 7: “Felling With Tree Routes,” directed byFarren Blackburn
Episode 8: “The Blessing of Many Fractures,” directed byKevin Tancharoen
Episode 9: “The Mistress of All Agonies,” directed byJet Wilkinson
Episode 10: TBD
Episode 11: “Lead Horse Back to Stable,” directed byDeborah Chow
Episode 12: TBD
Episode 13: “Dragon Plays With Fire,” directed byStephen Surjik
A few quick thoughts with apotential spoiler warningattached, “Snow Gives Way” could refer to a couple different things, the main one being Danny Rand (Jones) reemerging from the K’un-Lun in the wintry Himalayas after years of being MIA. Another could be a comic book reference to Danny’s father, Wendell Rand, who died in the Himalayas after Harold Meachum left him to fall to his death to control his business empire. Danny’s mother, Heather, subsequently died protecting her son from a wolf pack. TheIron Fisttrailerhinted at this scene, andDavid Wenhamplays Meachum in the series.
