MANILA — Richard Gutierrez shows his fighting skills, as well as his debonaire transformation from being an inmate, in a new teaser of the action series “The Iron Heart” released on Friday.

Aside from the chopper explosion seen in the first teaser, the second, extended look at the ABS-CBN teleserye follows Gutierrez’s character as he trains, participates in combat tournament, and goes on a mission that puts his mettle to the test.

In a glimpse of his exceptional strength, the lead character unshackles himself from a chain by sheer force, to the shock of his companion, portrayed by Pepe Herrera.

“Ikaw ba si Thor?” his ally asks, in reference to the Marvel superhero and the mythical god of thunder.
