From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Today (8 March) marks International Women's Day 2017, and to celebrate, Netflix has released a featurette focussed on Marvel’s Iron Fist’s leading lady, Colleen Wing.
The Independent is premiering the new footage, which includes interviews with actor Jessica Henwick, Iron Fist himself Finn Jones, and showcases the character’s kick-ass story.
In short, we see Colleen teaching in a dojo but doing street fighting on the side to survive. Eventually, her and Danny’s paths cross and they team together.
The show’s official synopses reads: “Returning to New York City after being missing for years, Daniel Rand fights against the criminal element corrupting New York City with his incredible kung-fu mastery and ability to summon the awesome power of the fiery Iron Fist.”
Iron Fist marks the third instalment in Netflix’s Marvel series, following on from the critically acclaimed Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and Luke Cage. All four characters will appear in the upcoming Avengers-style team-up series The Defenders.
All 13 episodes of Marvel’s Iron Fist will premiere exclusively on Netflix on March 17.
