Finn Jones Says He Wants to Re-Enter MCU as Iron Fist and Envisions a Face-Off with Shang-Chi
Finn Jones, the British actor who brought Danny Rand to life in Netflix’s Iron Fist, has made it clear that he wants to step back into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In a recent interview with ComicBook.com, Jones said, “I’m Danny Rand until I die,” and added that he would welcome a crossover with Simu Liu’s Shang‑Chi.
The Iron Fist series ran for two seasons on Netflix from 2017 to 2018. It was part of Marvel Television’s New York‑based superhero lineup that also included Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and The Punisher. After the show’s cancellation, all Marvel Netflix titles were pulled from the platform in March 2022 when Disney reclaimed the rights, and they began streaming on Disney+ on March 16, 2022.
Unlike many of his co‑stars from the Netflix Marvel shows, Jones has yet to appear in a Disney+ series or a Marvel Studios film. While Charlie Cox, Vincent D’Onofrio, Jon Bernthal, and Krysten Ritter have returned in Daredevil: Born Again and other MCU projects, Jones’s next confirmed appearance is slated for the third season of the Disney+ series Daredevil: Born Again, scheduled to air in 2027.
Jones also touched on the absence of a crossover between Iron Fist and Shang‑Chi. In the comics, Danny Rand and Shang‑Chi share storylines, but the television series never brought the two together. He said it would be “cool to see him go a bit more mystical, a bit more powerful, maybe fight Shang‑Chi.” The upcoming Shang‑Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings sequel is set for release in December 2026, marking the character’s return to live‑action after a five‑year absence.
No official statement from Marvel Studios confirms a future collaboration between the two characters, but Jones’s remarks underscore a fan desire for a broader integration of the MCU’s New York‑based heroes. His willingness to reprise his role and explore new narrative possibilities could influence future storytelling decisions as the franchise expands.
At present, Finn Jones remains an unreleased talent in the MCU. His next confirmed role is in Daredevil: Born Again, and a potential crossover with Shang‑Chi is still unannounced. The industry will be watching for any official updates from Marvel Studios regarding the integration of Iron Fist into the larger cinematic universe.
