Marvel's Iron Fist, or basically Iron Fist, is a forthcoming American web TV series produced for Netflix by Scott Buck, in light of the Marvel Comics character of a same name. It is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), offering congruity to the movies of the franchise and is the fourth in a progression of shows that will lead the way to The Defenders crossover miniseries. The series is created by Marvel Television in relationship with ABC Studios, with Buck filling in as showrunner.
Casting for Iron Fist started by November 2015, with Finn Jones being given a role as Danny Rand/Iron Fist in February 2016, however it is not yet confirmed by Marvel until March.
On casting Jones, Buck said, "we saw him and I think we all just knew immediately this is our guy... He just seemed to be able to display [the character's youthful optimism and badass attitude when needed and sometimes all at once, so he was very capable and flexible as he brought the character to life."
At the same time, Marvel was in the progression of searching for actors of Asian ancestry to play the role of Shang-Chi. Last April, Jessica Henwick, David Wenham, Jessica Stroup and Tom Pelphrey were cast as Colleen Wing, Harold Meachum, Joy Meachum and Ward Meachum, respectively, rounding out the main cast for the series. In October 2016, it was discovered that Rosario Dawson would return for her role of Claire Temple from previous Marvel/Netflix series.
