20 Most Hotly Anticipated TV Scenes Of 2017

15. The Cage Fight - Iron Fist

Most Anicipated TV Scenes
Netflix

The final Defender arrives in Iron Fist, which sees Danny Rand return home to New York after 15 years away being presumed dead. He'll be trying to reclaim his father's company, while also battling the forces of evil as the titular Fist.

The trailers haven't quite sold it - it looks pretty good, but not great - and there are question marks over Finn Jones' casting (and not just because they cast a white guy in the role).

Those questions don't exist over Jessica Henwick (even though she too is dire in Game of Thrones), who's playing martial arts instructor Colleen Wing.

Henwick looks fantastic in the role, best exemplified by the cage match she's seen having in the trailer. It's so good Netflix released an extended look at it, and the full clip was shown at New York Comic Con - where it received a standing ovation, and a better reception than anything else from the show, including the hallway fight scene.

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
