BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE NEW 2024 SPIDER-WOMAN SERIES by STEVE FOXE!!!
MISSING:
Synch's Aura
Northstar and Aurora's shiny hair

Same. I loved the implication in Avengers: the Initiative that, eventually, Dragon Lord's son would take over in the role. I've long wanted to see him incorporated into the Iron Fist stories, especially since Pei's inclusion.

You were Spider-Man then. You and Peter had agreed on it. But he came back right when you started feeling comfortable.
You know what it means when he comes back.

Whatever happened to the guy who stole Danny's Iron Fist back in New Warriors?
And if Swordsmaster is the new Iron Fist, yay! He won't stay in the role long, lol
Well, I guess it depends how you look at it, although a mystical sword guy becoming a mystical punch guy seems like a shift.
Makes me wonder if any of the characters from his series will pop up. I don't think the main plot of his series was ever resolved if only because they stopped translating it.
As for the OP question, I suspect the failure of the Iron Fist TV show probably killed a lot of the incentive Marvel had to continue pushing Danny. Particularly in the face of the success of Shang-Chi. Which sucks since I really loved the Power Man and Iron Fist series Walker did a few years ago.

King of Wakanda
King of the Dead and The Champion of Bast

I remember that. Junzo Muto, who was supposed to be the new leader of the Hand:
Indeed, there was that whole 2000 miniseries featuring Wolverine/Iron Fist that seemed to indicate that Danny would get his Iron Fist powers back. But it didn't :/ . Instead, Danny got them back when he guest-starred over in Black Panther's title. And we never learned what happened to Junzo. Again, one of those plot thread that fell through the cracks.
Now, as for Sword Master being Iron Fist, again it's possible. With Alyssa Wong having written this one-shot and the new writer of Iron Fist, it makes sense. But part of me is still hesitant with Lin Lie being the new Iron Fist. Having read his series, I wasn't too impressed with Lin. I saw his potential of course, but the character seemed to lack depth. That is a shame since I was starting to feel it in the one-shot. If it is Lin, I'm more unsure of him being the new Iron Fist. An Iron Fist has to go through the harsh training of Lei-Kung the Thunderer. They've to go through the tests and trials of K'un Lun and prove themselves worthy by facing Shou-Lao the Undying. Lin has not done that. His martial arts skill is sub-par when compared to Pei or especially compared to Danny. Wong has to explain Lin's worthiness well if she will make him the new Iron Fist.
