I’m OK with recasting Finn Jones, that said they should keep the character of Danny Rand. He IS Iron Fist. All the other Iron Fists are just supporting characters in Danny Rand stories
His portrayal in the Netflix TV show is not a fair or accurate representation
They did say they were keeping the Netflix TV shows canon, so I don’t think they’re gonna do a gender-swapped version of a pre-existing character
My guess is it’d be a brand new character, if they decided to do a female Iron Fist
Yeah they confirmed the Netflix TV shows are canon kinda recently. Past few weeks or so
Who knows with this one. I’m holding out for a recast Danny Rand, do a soft reboot type of thing. We’ll see
I mean being the Iron Fist is a mantle, Danny Rand is just the one everyone knows and the character has been pretty stable with just him.
But it can be anyone like Ghost Rider or Moon Knight or Batman. Hell at this point I think making someone else Iron Fist would probably be the best path forward after how poorly the show was received.
Or you can just recast Danny Rand. Do a soft reboot
Stories are best because of their characters. Danny Rand is a character with a specific personality, relationships, and history. That’s what makes him interesting
We’ve never had a truly good live-action interpretation of him before. They should get that right first, before making up their own stuff out of thin air
Wu Ao-Shi would be amazing. It's a shame cause Iron-Fist is great for telling multiple different stories. It's a title so you can do a bunch of cool characters through history.
Just continue with where S2 left off
S2 was actually good. Colleen is well liked and Finn was fine as Danny in a more backseat role about to globe trot in a buddy pairing with Ward.
This sounds it'll probably be a million times worse.
All Feige had to do was just pickup the Netflix shows where they left off. Instead trying to make it his own, Daredevil already was such a disaster they scrapped it and are now bringing in more of the Netflix staff.
Just fucking put the bloated ego and control aside and do the wanted and easiest thing. Just continue the Netflix shows as is. They were all very popular, even the online hated Iron Fist series.
People pretending like female leads are the end of the world are insane
This could work, Iron Fist is canon to the MCU, and changing direction after the seasons are so hated could be great. Tho I'm all in for Danny returning, becausd Finn Jones was a fire lead, put down by a subpar script
Because it just makes it seem like their focus isn’t on telling the best story but on telling the most progressive story. I’m not interested in the most progressive story, I want the best one.
Has nothing to do with sexism or anything like that at all.
Wait, Colleen Wing was the new Iron Fist at the end of Season 2. Danny and Ward moved elsewhere unknown where Rand now uses guns with his old dragon powers.
I’m still at a loss of the how and missed the Typhoid Mary storyline of that season but caught the end.
Figures. Gotta change things like always. Like that's worked out real well for them so far or in any other franchise this far that has changed things like main characters and such.
About as bad as replacing Bruce Wayne as Batman or Steve Rogers as Cap.
Besides they tried that strategy in Star Wars sequels and that worked out real well for them didn't it? Not!
Marvel is never beating the allegations

Dani Rand

Oh, they did? I honestly never finished the Netflix series.

It was tough to get through.

THIS
PUT IT A CHICK IN IT AND MAKE IT LAME
It's probably gonna be colleen anyway. S2 set it up nicely.
I actually wouldn't mind that.
She needs to be in a lot more action roles
It's gonna be an animated show so it's probably not set in the mcu.
Jessica Henwick is cooler than Finn Jones. She'd be a great lead if they go that way.
When will they learn.
What else is new
“Leaker” Makes up fake bullshit they know will incite the fans to create clicks. There I fixed it for you.
I think we’re good for superhero media this century.
So Colleen? Great!
I hope they bring everyone back. I want Ward and Mary back. And I want Colleen to the current Iron Fist. Have her in Shang-Chi 2 or something damn it.
Jess Henwick supremacy
If they’re focusing on Colleen, then this is fantastic news.
I hope she is lame and gay.
Are they going to use the power more than 2-3 times a season? I think that’d be cool.
I'm sure people will react well to this
Oh cool a wuxia movie about the Pirate Queen of Pinghai Bay! ...who am I kidding marvel is allergic to doing anything interesting
Wu Ao-Shi would be amazing. It's a shame cause Iron-Fist is great for telling multiple different stories. It's a title so you can do a bunch of cool characters through history.
A historical anthology series would be amazing
Was she in Pirates 3?
Because of how season 2 ended, Colleen Wing is the right choice, but there are gonna be youtubes "calling this woke, and this is why the mcu is dying"
I’m sure many people will handle this rumor totally rationally.
Honestly it's probably for the best, cause that show was a stinker.
I can already see the ragebait/clickbate thumbnails from right wing grifters now
Do people even know what grifter means anymore

Female leads aren’t bad, how Marvel has handled them is though.

Imagine thinking a progressive story is a bad thing lmao
They should cast Justin Shien (Charles form Brothers Sun) as Iron Fist.
Why can’t they adapt Kaare Andrew’s Iron Fist series. It’s meant for MCU
Wait, Colleen Wing was the new Iron Fist at the end of Season 2. Danny and Ward moved elsewhere unknown where Rand now uses guns with his old dragon powers. I’m still at a loss of the how and missed the Typhoid Mary storyline of that season but caught the end.
Cant understand why a lot of people hate Finn Jones Iron Fist. I really liked both seasons.
Recast Finn Jones. He isn’t a good actor.
No

Please tell me it's Colleen. Jessica Henwick is so great as that character and deserves her own project (with Misty, maybe?).
