Marvel Confirms Finn Jones as Iron Fist
As revealed last month, it's now been confirmed by Marvel and Netflix that Game of Thrones' Finn Jones will play Iron FIst in the fourth solo series, following from Luke Cage and leading into a Defenders series.
Marvel issued a press release confirming the news, and showrunner Scott Buck had this to say: Danny Rand is a very complicated character. He’s a billionaire New York Buddhist monk martial arts superhero who’s still trying to figure out what exactly that all means. Finn is able to play all these levels in such an honest, revelatory way that as soon as I saw him I knew he was our Danny.
Head of Marvel TV Jeph Loeb also added: Finn wonderfully blends confidence with vulnerability, making him the perfect choice as he struggles to find his place in the world. Now that we’ve found our Danny Rand, we’ve completed our principal cast for the upcoming Defenders on Netflix and we are thrilled to continue to show audiences unexplored corners of the Marvel Universe.
The series is described as such: Jones will play Daniel Rand, who returns to New York City after being missing for years. He fights against the criminal element corrupting New York City with his incredible kung-fu mastery and ability to summon the awesome power of the fiery Iron Fist.
