10 Easter Eggs You Might Have Missed In Marvel’s Iron Fist

1) Daredevil And The Defenders

That’s not it for Marvel in-jokes, however, as each of Iron Fist’s fellow Defenders is nodded to in some sly way.

At the end of episode 3, Danny scales the side of the skyscraper Harold Meachum is living in. Later on, Ward refers to Danny acting like “Daredevil.” This is obviously a reference to the other acrobatic hero on Netflix. Matt Murdock’s alter ego is also referenced in episode 9 by Gao, and she also speaks of “the man with unbreakable skin.”

This is, of course, Luke Cage, who’s mentioned in episode 8, too, when Danny talks about Claire reading a letter from someone she says is “currently unavailable,” referring to Luke being sent to Seagate Prison at the end of Luke Cage. Later on, Danny borrows a bullet-pocked shirt from Claire, which she says belonged to a friend.

The best, and most easily-missed, Defenders reference though comes in episode 9, when Joy reveals that she has hired a private investigator to spy on the Rand Enterprises board members. “She was worth every penny,” Joy says. “When she was sober…” That’s definitely our Jessica!
