As of the second season of ''Series/JessicaJones'', [[spoiler: Jeri Hogarth]] is suffering from ALS and is trying to find a cure. This will lead her to either seek Danny’s help due to his healing powers or possibly make a deal with villains to try to find other means of thwarting the disease.

They can't use Fu Manchu since they don't have the rights, but the Mandarin is an {{Expy}} of him. Plus, it would give them the opportunity to follow up on ''[[Film/MarvelOneShots All Hail the King]]'', seeing as there doesn't seem to be plans for more Iron Man movies.

Think about it. They both resemble each other and it would fit Danny's whole [[spoiler: "protect New York now that Matt's gone"]] arc. The suit could also glow when he's using his chi, becoming the classic yellow and green color scheme.

[[WMG: Danny will suit up and try to pick up where Matt left off.]]
He seemed inspired to essentially pick up the torch left by Daredevil and become a costumed crime fighter. Additionally, now that he sees what happens when bad guys go after loved ones, he will know the benefit of wearing a mask.

[[WMG: Luke Cage will show up in season 2.]]
With Danny making sure Misty gets a new arm, it's possible we might get a cameo by Luke who comes in to check up on her or otherwise be involved in the plot. Considering might be in need of roping in some viewers after the first season got poor reviews, it could be an interesting way to get people interested again. Besides, fans love seeing those two together.

[[WMG: Season 2 will be an example of GrowingTheBeard...]]
...which will ironically coincide with Danny becoming clean shaven! But seriously though, the show having a new showrunner in Raven Metzner could allow for the issues viewers had with Season 1 being addressed, while still including, or even ''expanding'' upon, the more positively received aspects of it. CharacterDevelopment from Series/TheDefenders will allow for Danny to grow more, caring more about his duty as the Iron Fist and finally getting his costume, Colleen getting to develop her comradery with Misty, and getting to see more of K'un Lun.

She attacks like Danny, with a spin punch, but with an open palm instead of a fist. It also leaves a hand-shaped imprint on Matt's shirt, but it looks yellowish too.

[[WMG:Harold only started being abusive to Ward after the resurrection]]

In their conversation at the park by the river in the eighth episode, Joy says to Ward, "When was the last time we talked about anything other than work? Can you name the last person I dated? I have...I just have no idea who you've been seeing, or what you've been reading, or...anything about your life outside of Rand. We didn't used to be like this. One day, you just put up a wall and I never understood why." To which Ward replies, "I was protecting you."

Ward's remark that Harold has always been a bastard to him is true. But it stands to reason that Harold didn’t start the explicit physical abuse until Ward was older. Joy’s dialogue seems to indicate that she and Ward were close after she started working at Rand (at 18 years old, probably, or maybe later after she went to college). Ward is 5-6 years older than Joy, about the same as the age gap between Tom Pelphrey and Jessica Stroup, so the abuse probably didn’t start happening until Ward was at least 23-24.

And then Ward pushed her away “one day.” That day was when Harold began to abuse him (or maybe the abuse reached a whole other level). Ward didn't push Joy away when Harold came back from the dead, but much later. (It certainly doesn’t sound like they’ve been estranged for the past 13 years, so it must have been more recent, given they're still talking to each other while at work.) Ward didn’t push Joy away because Harold came back from the dead and she needed to be protected from the Hand, but because Harold began to abuse him, and Ward didn’t want her to find out.

Possible spin-offs for Elektra and Colleen Wing, a solo series for Shang-Chi and maybe Kamala Khan getting a show, introduce the Immortal Weapons, ''Daredevil'' downplaying the YellowPeril trope, among others. Similarly, they might see shows for Hispanic characters like White Tiger, and Jewish characters like Moon Knight, in order to broaden the scope of scope a bit more.

[[WMG:When Madame Gao said Wendell Rand had "no honor", she was talking about his infidelity]]
I've seen an interesting theory that Joy Meachum was actually Wendell Rand's daughter, that Wendell had an affair with Harold's wife. They look so much alike, especially since Wendell's portrait in the Rand Enterprises executive suites has him with his eyes wide open, almost if it was to accentuate the resemblance between him and Joy.

Totally a dragon. Hangs out in the dragon club with Shou Lao and Fin Fang Foom when she's not selling heroin and being cryptic.

* It probably won't be LyingCreator since Marvel never actually announced it; it was a rumour that got steam after Finn Jones was cast but was never officially confirmed.



UnfortunateImplications aside (though it'll probably play a part); if the critics prove to be correct and even audience/fans see Finn Jones as bland and uninteresting as Danny Rand, he will be recast once Season 1 of the Defenders runs its course. Coupled with his comments about ItsNotSupposedToWinOscars as well as generally downplaying the Asian culture/representation problems, the new Danny Rand post-S1 will probably be Asian-American

Asian-American.
** Though possible due to the negative publicity Finn Jones is bringing, its not likely they could get away with casting an Asian-American actor if just because it would be jarring-as-fuck for him to be white for one season then suddenly Asian the next, which might not sit well even with people who want an Asian Danny. The ''only'' possible way they could get that to work would probably be if they have the films invoke a CosmicRetcon during ''Infinity War'', and allow ''all'' the shows a chance to retcon some shit.


Added DiffLines:


Actually possible, as something like that ''did'' happen in the comics; ''ComicBook/ImmortalIronFist'', which modernised Danny, largely got around the iffy racial issues by focusing so much on developing Danny's predecessors and introducing the (mostly Asian) other Immortal Weapons.

!! The 'Phase 2' of the Marvel/Netflix shows will probably better handle Asian characters

Similar to Phase 3 of the films being the first to feature black and female leads after complaints of too many WhiteMaleLead characters. Thanks to the negative publicity of ''Iron Fist'' and its treatment of Asian culture, post-''Defenders'' they'll have actual effort to better treat Asian characters, as well as increase their diversity.
