"Iron Fist" Season 1 will feature the mystical city of K'un-Lun as one of the show's film locations as revealed by a cast member via an Instagram post. Moreover, the entire season will be available for streaming on March 17 in Netflix.

Marvel-Netflix has kept "Iron Fist" Season 1 under wraps, but fans are now excited about the possible inclusion of the mystical city of K'un-Lun as setting for the story. This was revealed by "Iron Fist" star Jessica Henwick who plays Colleen Wing in an Instagram post while on location filming the new Marvel-Netflix show.

Unlike other superheroes who were exposed to chemicals, Danny Rand (Finn Jones) got his super abilities in the mystical city of K'un-Lun, a hidden city in the K'un-Lun mountain range in China. The city is only accessible through an inter-dimensional nexus that only opens once in a decade.

Fans got excited about the inclusion of K'un-Lun as a backdrop for "Iron Fist" Season 1 since many expected that most of the scenes will be shot in New York City just like in "Daredevil," "Jessica Jones" and "Luke Cage."
