A lot happened by the end of “Marvel’s Iron Fist” Season 2, as we saw the Iron Fist itself find a new owner yet again – even as Danny Rand went on his own journey that included showing some decidedly Iron Fist-like abilities, but with a twist.

Having finished all ten episodes of Season 2, Marvel.com spoke to “Marvel’s Iron Fist” Executive Producer and Showrunner M. Raven Metzner about all that occurred by the end for Danny and Colleen, and other key characters.

Marvel.com: So let’s start at the very end, because plenty was going on in that final scene! Obviously, a lot has happened in the months we skip over, given what we see Danny do in those final moments. Safe to say that you’ve given a good amount of thought to what might have occurred?

M. Raven Metzner: I think a lot of it has to do with the promise of that last scene before the time jump with Ward, when Danny is talking about the dual-sided purpose of his journey - one to find purpose and a true path and the other to search out the person who may or may not have shipped that body with the mask to Davos. We discover when we’re in that scene with Ward at the bar, this name, Orson Randall, seems like it’s tied in to that delivery. So yeah, I have a lot of ideas about what happened in that time but I think there are some clues that we left as to the direction of this journey and some interesting questions about what may have happened to him along the way.

Marvel.com: The name Orson Randall will certainly raise some eyebrows for people familiar with the comics. Meanwhile, you end on this beat where you ask, “Wait, does Danny somehow have the Iron Fist back?” - but then what he does in that moment with the guns is very different than what we’re used to with his fighting style. Was it fun to subvert things a bit?

M. Raven Metzner: I think that’s part of it. The other part of it, which was really important to me, has to do with the fact that Danny, in that last moment, is drawing a gun but he’s not using it to shoot someone. He’s using it to defend himself and using it to deflect a bullet that is fired at him. That was a really conscious decision made by myself and Jeph Loeb and all the other creatives in the writers’ room and at Netflix and Marvel about the nature of that moment. I’m a comic fan and I love the Orson Randall character and I love those issues. At the same time, I think there’s a lot inherent in the idea of a gun as a weapon – in the same way that Colleen in that last moment has a sword, but her behavior to the people she goes up against is to first offer them a chance to surrender. I think there’s something in this show that I’m very interested in that has to do with the Iron Fist in general, and these different weapons, which has to do with, “You have a weapon. How do you choose to use it?” I think that’s a question that is raised and very interesting to me.
