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

Marvel's latest Netflix show, Iron Fist is now here and acts as the final show in the run-up to the much-anticipated Defenders miniseries. So, how does it measure up to the rest of the lot? Well, sadly, it hasn't been met with the same warmth - from critics, at least, as fans seem to love it all the same.

8) Shou-Lao The Undying

Danny Rand has perhaps the coolest origin story of any superhero, ever. To assume the mantle of K’un-L’un’s protector, the Iron Fist, he had to defeat the immortal dragon Shou-Lao the Undying in a fierce fight. Beat that, Batman!

Shou-Lao’s referenced a couple of times in the first half of Iron Fist. At first, he’s namechecked when Danny’s incarcerated at Birch Psychiatric Hospital. He’s also later clarified to be a dragon when Danny speaks to Ward in episode 5.

While it would be amazing to see the beast on screen, Finn Jones has already admitted that we won’t get Shou-Lao in the TV show, as Iron Fist simply doesn’t have a Game of Thrones-sized budget.

“I’d love to have the budget for these shows to have a full-on Game of Thrones style dragon. But unfortunately you know, we have budget restraints. That’s the nature of the show,” said Jones.
