Looks Like Iron Fist and Luke Cage Won’t Start Their Relationship in The Defenders on Very Good Terms
It seems like Luke Cage and Iron Fist won’t be quite the BFFs we love from the comics at the beginning of Marvel’s The Defenders.
Actors Mike Colter (Luke Cage) and Finn Jones (Iron Fist) teased during last week’s San Diego Comic-Con that the two superheroes won’t have the nicest first meeting.
Jones said he thought their interaction was surprising, “everyone knows us as being BFFs and actually the first time we see each other there’s conflict, and it grounds and roots the characters into reality a little bit better, which I think is really interesting.”
Colter added that he thinks the way they first interact is due to the fact that the two characters come from very different paths. He said: “I think it’s just one of those things where Luke has the advantage of years of experience. He’s a little older than Danny, he’s sort of been around, done that. He’s been in prison! He’s got some miles, he’s got some experiences… I’m from the streets, and that’s where we operate.”
It seems like an interesting change from the comics.
Although if you think about it, Iron Fist did punch Luke Cage in the face in the first trailer for the upcoming serioes.
Marvel’s The Defenders is set to air all its eight episodes August 18 on Netflix.
