Hahahahahahaha. Good one.
Danny Rand is the whitest white boy ever. He's like, one of the original Marvel weeaboos.
They need a stuntman with a similar jawline as the lead actor and that's about it.

Fuck stunt doubles, man.
Keanu in John Wick spoiled me. Stephen Amell in Arrow is fucking killer. Find someone who is actually willing to do the shit.

I'm pretty sure the Luke Cage is the 4th series planned to air, not the 3rd.
At least according to previous Marvel statements and order of announcement.

Scott Adkins obviously.

Someone hot who can do most/all of their own stunts.

would be perfect for a tv-series, can do amazing stunts and is still probably quite cheap to cast! He is a modern american ninja

Yes. Adkins does different accents pretty well. American in Ninja 2, Russian in Undisputed 2-3. A rare case of martial artist who can truly act. Add the fact that he has prettyboy face and he's simply perfect for Iron Fist

I have seen many posts about Scott Adkins playing him and I agree 100%. He would not look good as a blonde though
This.
Iron Fist is one of the only superhero roles where I think you 100% need to cast a martial artist.

Adkins would look awful as a blond.
Furthermore, Iron Fist will look like shit without a director who understands how to film kickass action films. Barring Cap 2, most close quarters scenes in the MCU have been throughly meh.

Just do a Chris Evans version of blond. (Or skip the original hair color.)
Totally on the Scott Adkins train if they go with him.

I don't know how many seasons of Banshee are left, but after the latest episode I would be totally ok with Banshee's showrunners working on Iron Fist. Their love for pulp could also work wonders for a show like Jessica Jones.
Wiktor

Banshee is aimed at 5 seasons, so that most likely won't work.
I think it would be best to get some B-movie/asian director solely for the action scenes (maybe give him one full episode so he doesn't feel cheapned out), There's awful lot of high quality talent directing DTV vids these days.
I just hope Netflix has it in the UK.

We have no Netflix here at all
He's 38 though. I'd think Joey Ansah or Nick Bateman are better options.
Mike Colter is also 38.
Wiktor
Member
Isn't Joey Ansah black? Or am I thinking about somebody else?
Anyway, Adkins looks younger than his age, so that would't be a problem. Especially when constrased with fast balding Murdock
Sevket-Erhat

shit, perfect choice there
and yes, Ansah is actually black. My cousin went to school with him

yeah even though he is near 40 he can still pull of that young Ben Affleck -look.
Blonde or no blonde, doesn't really make or break the character for me.

Yeah, he's black. I don't think that makes a lot of difference to Iron Fist's character.
As for the age; Adkins looks well in his thirties, I always thought Iron Fist was a protegé of Luke Cage. I'm not an apt reader of the streetlevel-hero comics, so I could be mistaken?

Iron Fist is in his early 30's. This is actually brought in an important arc.
They are big buddies.
In which case I have no problem with Mike Colter and Scott Adkins in a buddy martial arts superhero team up
If they do an origin story, he'll be in his 20s. Matt Murdock is definitely going to be way younger in this universe than he normally is in the comics, so it doesn't have to match up.

Is he? Cox is 31 and I never pictured Murdock as being older than his early thirties.
They should get the Mortal Kombat guy (I have no idea how to spell his last name). It would make sense since he has a relationship with Marvel already and definitely knows how to direct a fight scene.

Yeah but black don't crack. Colter could easily play a wide range of ages.

I always pictured Matt as mid-thirties.
I don't really see how he can be in his early thirties. I mean yeah there's an issue with Marvel Time and all that, where they kinda brush off the transition of the real world with the actual aging of characters, but even within the Daredevil mythos itself, it's clear that he's one of the characters who has been around for a -long- time.
Both Matt Murdock and Daredevil have evolved so much over the decades that it is clear even in the universe, it's accepted that he's been around for decades. I'll say Spider-man is a pretty good analogue too. He went from a student to a working adult to a married working adult. In the same sense Daredevil has clearly aged a lot.
One particular marker we can use for this is Bendis' Golden Age storyline. I think that makes it clear that even the narrative treats the period from the pre-Kingpin era to the current era as a really long fucking time. If Matt was in his mid-20s at the start, he has to be at least in his early 40s now.

Is Alain Moussi just trying to drum up fan support, or is he really in consideration for the role?
The announcement did list Iron Fist as fourth in the order. And since Cage has already been cast, it's probably safe to assume his show will follow Jessica Jones.

I'm not familiar with this dudes work.
Edit: does he even speak English?
I have checked his FB and he's got some moves but I really don't know him from any
of his movies

Marvel owns Spider-Woman right, or does she fall under the Sony umbrella?
Marvel owns everything, and Sony umbrella covers only films.
Since she has nothing to do with Spider-Man and is much more tied to SHIELD and Hydra we assume that she is owned by Marvel.
