Iron Fist (Netflix)

Marvel's and Netflix's newest hero, Danny Rand is going to be played by Game of Thrones' Finn Jones....

I'm excited for this

Not sure how, or if, they plan on incorporating the bromance between IF and Luke for the MCU but I'm looking forward to it.

I'm pretty sure they are going to include the bromance. As for how..well, I don't get why that is something you are acting like would be difficult. At the end of the first season of Jessica Jones she obviously sets up some kind of "heroes for hire" type situation. So if she brings Luke in on that..and eventually they meet Danny and they bring him in..all they need to do is shove them together for some shenanigans.

It is possible Luke might even already know him. I'm struggling to remember, but there is an episode in Jessica Jones where

Spoiler:
Luke is under the control of Purple Man. At one point we see him on the phone talking to someone who we later learn was Purple Man. But Jessica was in the room at the time so he was acting like it was someone else on the phone and I could of sworn he called the person "Danny".

IRON FIST TV Series Will Feature 'Shang-Chi'

I was kinda hoping I would be cast as IF, but whatever.

I'm not bitter.

Phuck them.

Lol at the criticism for casting a white guy for the role of Iron Fist, The idiots need to pick up one of his books.

"After a tumultuous response to the casting of Finn Jones as Danny Rand in the upcoming Iron Fist series, Marvel could really use a new notch in their diversity belt. Luckily, MCUExchange and That Hashtag Show can independently confirm that Marvel and Netflix are in the midst of casting Shang-Chi for Iron Fist - which we're told is set to begin production in April.

Additionally, in case anyone had concerns, they are exclusively auditioning males of Asian descent."

These diversity, SJW , girl power , trends in Hollywood are trying to fuq up everything.

Disgusting 👇

I tend to agree, but I am quite happy that now we get a Shang Chi as well. The possibilities are very exciting with the amount of talent out there. Personally, I would love to see more of stars like Andy On or Philip Ng - they have phenomenal potential.

I bet most of the people don't even read comics

a Marvel writer is doing some of the criticizing, Morjorie Liu

and some people wanted a Asian/American for the role

he's suppose to be fish out of water sort of role being adopted into the K'un Lun Society, Even a previous Iron Fist, Orsan Randell was the same deal.

Well, Philip Ng should be finished filming Birth of the Dragon by now, so he can stop playing Bruce Lee and start playing Shang Chi. 😉

I really liked Andy On in Once Upon a Time in Shanghai as well, and thought Daniel Wu was great in Into the Badlands. Will be very interesting to see who they pick!

I would agree

Personally, I'd be much more interested in seeing a Shen Kuei story. Faux Bruce Lee is hard to do right, while a "Kung Fu Punisher" is timeless.

People who are bitching about Danny being white should STFU.

its seems a lot like people are crying because they didn't change him to Asian even if they know he is white.... Which what the hell. Who cries because oh noes the character is staying the same. Marvel is doing what it does best, and providing the best adaptions of characters, and people are crying now... Why not make Steve Rogers black its not core for him to be white...is basically their argument

And the ironic thing, is a white kung fu master is BREAKING stereotypes, not reinforcing them.

Shang Chi got a lot of criticism for being a stereotype. Put in a white guy, and he's criticised for not being stereotypical enough?

You just can't win.

Exactly.

He should remain White.

This reminds me of the criticisms for Tom Cruise in "The Last Samurai" only this time it makes even less sense.

Silver lining(sort off), this did expose a lot of folks lack of comic book knowledge and reveal who exactly is knowledgeable about Marvel stuff.
