Welcome to the MCU Weekly Pulse, a rundown of all the stories throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe that we didn’t cover in News or Features this past week.
Iron Fist Production Homework
We don’t know what the Iron Fist writers are cooking up behind the scenes, but Quinton Peeples, a producer on the show, posted some of the original comics he has in his office.
It’s always great to see that the creators behind these shows are also fans of the source material. It’s also great to see one actress from the series feeling close to her character.
Punisher Paraphernalia Coming In September
With the new Punisher series in the works, w’re eagerly awaiting anything related to the show. And it looks like Marvel is starting to ramp up their Punisher marketing, with the release of a new set of buttons based on the Netflix version of the character.

Maybe this means that we are closer to having more merchandise for the other Netflix shows, such as Jessica Jones.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Cast Out and About
Clark Gregg is getting into shape, and he posted a video from his workout session to prove it.
Gregg is working out with Naqam Washington, who fell asleep while watching soccer with Charlie Cox a couple of weeks ago. Washington posted his own video of Gregg’s workout, as the star gets ready for Season Four of Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.
This video of Ming-Na Wen from MegaCon should also help get you hyped for the upcoming season.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will return on ABC on September 20.

With fans wanting all of the details, some were curious as to who the Director of Photography (DP) was on Thor: Ragnarok. Director Taika Waititi was happy to reveal that detail.
