The three failed movies wasn't an issue for me as the Daredevil movie was a disgrace and look how the TV show turned out. For me, Iron Fist is a far more complex story than Punisher with the potential for rich supporting characters and one of the best mythologies in the Marvel cinematic universe. When weighed against that, Punisher - who cares?

good point
 
I've wanted to see Iron Fist onscreen for years. So if the show doesn't pan out, I will be devastated. Honestly after Daredevil, 13 episode season is the format I wanted for Iron Fist. I just don't think you can play around as much with only one movie. I want to see as much of the Iron Fist world as possible.
 
Yeah but who cares that matters?

(Oh yes I did just say that ;) )

You say that, but Marvel and Netflix haven't had anything to say about Iron Fist. Nothing about showrunners or producers. No casting. Luke Cage is already in production. Iron Fist is next.

You say its clearly, but we aren't hearing anything.

Yeah because it's in development. How long did it take for us to hear anything about Jessica Jones after Daredevil went into production? Same with Luke Cage when Jessica Jones was in production? Obviously they are worrying about Daredevil Season 2 and getting Luke Cage right. I'm sure we'll get a showrunner announcement soon. Otherwise, why would they have Misty Knight in the Luke Cage series? Why would they introduce a genderbent Jeryn Hogarth in Jessica Jones? Why when this photo was released at NYCC and they all assembled on stage:

Loeb was like "It's 3 of the 4 Defenders". Clearly, Iron Fist is coming. It's just not a matter of if, but when. But of course comic fans in particular are super impatient, which is why all these rumors are flying around about Iron Fist getting 'canceled' and how Punisher is going to replace it.

Goddard & Rosenberg were announced as showrunners for DD & JJ on the same day (12th Nov 2013). Rosenberg had been attached to a JJ TV series since 2010.

Ritter was cast as JJ near the end of DD's filming, Dec 2014.

Coker was announced as show runner for LC on the 31st March 2015, less than 2 months after JJ started filming (Feb).

LC is currently about 3 months into filming.



I'm not worried yet.
 
Separating Iron Fist from the rest of the Avengers and replacing him with Punisher makes no sense. As for the budget if CW can do a Flash show (with CGI creatures like Grodd and King Shark) I don't see why Iron Fist would be too much on a comparable budget.

That is why I don't buy any of these rumors.

Maybe they are skittish about his origin involving a living dragon and are worried about showing it on screen.

I mean for example, Hulk almost never talks onscreen.
 
There are CG Dragons in game of thrones, plus a ton of visual effects for Agents of shield. Not to mention all the visuals used in DD that weren't noticeable to the naked eye (almost the entire fight with Nobu, for example). I doubt it is the CG that is causing a delay. I actually doubt anything is causing a delay. Marvel is notiously tight lipped on everything. They will probably hype JJ a ton for a couple of weeks and then have some announcements about Iron Fist. Or they may wait until after DD season 2 is released.

Regardless, I'd much rather wait and have it done right than get a crappy finished product.

This isn't Game of Thrones. All those visuals in all those shows is still not the same as having an actual CG character in what is supposed to be a dark, serious street level show. Plus, this is supposed to be an intelligent dragon that can speak.

Even in the Lord of the Rings movies, they refused to let the eagles actually talk.
 
I'd be okay if the dragon isn't intelligent and can't speak. It doesn't even have to look like a traditional dragon either.
It could be an alien creature he has to face to finish his training.
 
HA!
Not being made my a$*
Here's the proof it's alive and kicking:

... and, there's this:

Punisher will not be replacing him on The Defenders.
:D :D :D
 
It's not enough in the sense that it's easy to change their minds, but we aren't entitled to anything either. They'll announce something when it's worth announcing it.
 
I don't know much about Iron Fist, but he seems like a cool character. What are some good comics about him to start.

His first run, the Epic Collection.

Followed by The Immortal Iron Fist by Fraction/Brubaker/Aja. Really put the character back on the map and is the run I hope the show takes inspiration from.

Immortal Iron Fist is the best intro to him, imo. I'd personally recommend picking that up first, then diving into the older stuff.
