1) Sigourney Weaver Is Going To Battle The Defenders
While it doesn’t directly relate to Iron Fist’s solo series, the reveal that legendary actress Sigourney Weaver will battle The Defenders is huge. It was confirmed during the panel that she’ll play the villain, but no further details were provided about who that will be.
Some fans believe that the fact she came out on stage wearing green may have been a sign that she’s Viper, a character also known as Madame Hydra who has ties to both the villainous organization and The Hand. However, given what we now know about Danny Rand, there’s an even more believable possibility.
If he truly is the one destined to stop The Hand, then looking at a Daredevil story arc called Shadowland may offer up some clues. It wasn’t very good, but after the Man Without Fear was possessed by an ancient demon known as The Beast, Danny saved him and defeated the monster with a chi punch.
Something similar playing out here (but with Weaver as The Beast) could work really well, especially if the power of the Iron Fist is the only thing that can stop the demon the clan of ninjas unleash upon Hell’s Kitchen. This is just a guess for now, of course, but it seems very likely.
