"Iron Fist" is not a movie; it is a television series produced by Marvel Television and aired on Netflix. The show, which premiered in 2017, follows the story of Danny Rand, a martial arts expert and the heir to a wealthy family, who returns to New York City to reclaim his family legacy and fight against criminal elements using his mystical powers and martial arts skills. The series is part of the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe and is connected to other Netflix shows like "Daredevil," "Jessica Jones," and "Luke Cage."

Netflix removed "Iron Fist" as part of a broader decision to cancel several Marvel series, including "Daredevil," "Luke Cage," and "The Punisher." The cancellations were attributed to various factors, including low viewership, changes in Netflix's content strategy, and the impending transition of Marvel properties to Disney+, which launched its own streaming service, Disney+. "Iron Fist" faced criticism for its portrayal of the titular character and for not meeting the expectations set by other Marvel shows, contributing to its cancellation.

"Iron Fist," released by Marvel and Netflix in 2017, received mixed reviews from critics and audiences. While some praised its action and themes, many criticized the pacing, writing, and the portrayal of the lead character, Danny Rand. The series struggled with viewer ratings and was considered one of the weaker entries in the Marvel Netflix lineup. Ultimately, it was canceled after two seasons, indicating it did not achieve the success of other Marvel series, which many would classify it as a flop.
