Bosco685 Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Iron Fist has been cast - no announcement yet "The actor has been cast," Colter said of the role of Danny Rand, "but he's in a basement somewhere," he joked. "When the time is right, they'll let him up and tell him where he is. I am [excited]." "I'll get a nice little break, after doing Jessica Jones and Luke Cage. Whether I'm in [iron Fist], I don't know, but there's The Defenders," the actor said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meeklo Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Well, that's one dream role down Hey, I've still got Speedball. It really looks like ABC/Marvel/Disney dropped the ball on a New Warriors staged "reality show". Could have tied into Civil War and everything too.

I remember when the actor hinted on twitter that he was cast and would be Speedball on Marvel AOS. Studio must of gotten peeved and removed him.

Game of Thrones actor Finn Jones to play Iron Fist Marvel has found its newest superhero: Game of Thrones actor Finn Jones has landed the coveted series lead in Iron Fist.

After some tragic twists of fate, Rand is adopted by the city’s ruler and taught advanced martial arts and the mystical power of the Iron Fist. As an adult, Rand returns to his native New York and begins a career as a superhero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TupennyConan Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 This is beautiful contemporary rhetoric. Lush. Brief. Ornamented. Austere. Byzantine. Accessible. Iron Fist is an orientalist-white-man-yellow-fever narrative. Asian actor would have helped subvert that offensive trope, and reclaim space.

Bosco685 Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 DB Wong is playing Hugo Strange. Balances out? With the few teasers posted by Gotham, I'm actually taking to this choice. Though the beard is odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashsaytr Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 i'm sorry whats wrong with him being white?... must have missed the whole point in that crappy article... make a Master of Kung Fu movie if you want an asian guy... jeez~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayT Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 While I wouldn't have minded if it was an asian cast, would have been fine, I don't really have an inferiority complex when it comes to white people, if anything it's the opposite , so I don't require to be uplifted via funny book casting. That said, I am aware many people would agree with my conclusion, but for more deplorable reasons. From the start I was most excited about Iron Fist when the netflix stuff was announced so I'm happy to see it going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
