Game of Thrones star Finn Jones has been cast as the lead in the upcoming Iron Fist drama series at the streaming giant, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/marvel-finds-iron-fist-game-869646
As first reported by EW, Jones — who stars as Ser Loras Tyrell in the HBO fantasy drama — will play the title role of Daniel Rand, aka Iron Fist. The character is described as handsome and sophisticated, independent and a loner.
Iron Fist centers on Daniel Rand, who fights against the criminal elements corrupting New York with his kung fu skills and ability to summon the power of the fiery Iron Fist. The series picks up with Rand returning to the Big Apple after having gone missing for several years.
Dexter's Scott Buck is on board to serve as showrunner on the drama, which marks the fourth of Marvel's five-series deal with Netflix. He'll join Daredevil, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage stars Charlie Cox, Krysten Ritter and Mike Colter, respectively, in the fifth series — The Defenders mini.
Don't agree that he was terrible, will agree his character arc was butchered. But then again, so was pretty much every character arc in the show once the show writers decided they could "improve" GRRM's work.
By Zeus Ex Machina Go To PostI would still prefer a punisher series to thisCould still happen. I think they are waiting to see what's the public reaction to Punisher's appearance on Daredevil before moving forward with plans for a solo show.
Will see it ..Hopefully based on Brubaker/Fraction/Aja Immortal Iron Fist..Dont give a fuck about Punisher tho..Give me Power Man and Iron Fist.
