Her character, Sherry Yang, is a “really complicated character,” the wife of the Triad leader, who Johnson says she “had a great time playing,” keeping quiet on most details. Christine did reveal that she’s in 7 of the 10 episodes, beginning with episode two.
Christine praises many aspects of the show, the costumes, the action, the martial arts, but is cautious on how Sherry Yang fits into this action. Check out the clip below.
Season 2 will have Danny (Finn Jones) defending his role as the Immortal Iron Fist, while protecting the city at night as a vigilante and still running Rand Enterprises during the day. Fans will also see the romance subplot move forward as Danny kisses Jessica Henwick‘s Colleen Wing in one of the teasers.
The second season looks like it will keep the story a little more grounded and intimate than all of that business with the Hand from Season 1, and the fight choreography also seems better
Iron Fist Season 2 premieres on Netflix Friday, September 7th, and also stars Tom Pelphrey (Ward Meachum), Jessica Stroup (Joy Meachum), Simone Missick (Misty Knight) and introduces Alice Eve (Mary Walker) as Typhoid Mary.
Iron Fist arrives to Netflix on September 7 in a new 10-episode season.
Additionally, fans will get to see Christine return to the stage in Come From Away, a musical set to debut in Seattle, heading out onto a 30 city tour. She discusses the story, what fans will love about the show and her take aways from the experience thus far.
Lastly, Christine takes a minute to tease Lifetime’s “You,” a new series based on the “Hidden Bodies” novel – the complete interview is at the bottom.
Here’s the official synopsis for Season 2:
Danny Rand (Finn Jones), alongside his partner Colleen Wing (Jessica Henwick), is trying to keep the peace among the many warring gangs of New York. With the help of Misty Knight (Simone Missick), they discover that the crime ring in the city goes far deeper than they had ever anticipated and hanging up their swords is no longer an option.
Meanwhile, Danny’s former best friend Davos returns to New York City after finding his home of K’un-Lun gone. Blaming Danny for K’un-Lun’s tragic fate, Davos swears to avenge their lost city, and reignites a sibling rivalry of sorts over the duties linked with wielding the legendary Iron Fist.
