Iron Fist Iron Fist General Discussion Thread - Part 1

[Mike Murdock]

Colleen Wing is the only name I was expecting.

 

[Sebastos]

We have our Colleen Wing:

Marvel's Iron Fist Casts Colleen Wing

Jessica Henwick, who has recently had small roles in both Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Game of Thrones, will come to Netflix and Marvel's Iron Fist as comicbook character Colleen Wing. The role is described as the female lead on the show, "an invaluable ally to Iron Fist as he returns to his life in New York." She joins previously cast Finn Jones, who will play the title role of Danny Rand aka Iron Fist.

Wing, in the pages of Marvel Comics, is one half of the "Daughters of the Dragon" alongside Misty Knight.

Not a bad choice. I can dig it.

Two GoT actors!

 

[chamber-music]

Jessica henwick was on bbc show spirit warriors with benedict Wong who is playing Wong in doctor strange.

 

[Sebastos]

Not a bad choice. I can dig it.

Two GoT actors!

Ned Stark and Stannis as Wendell Rand and Harold Meachum next.

I wonder how far apart in age she and Simone Missick are.

 

[TheVileOne]

Not sure of Simone Missick's age, but apparently Jessica Henwick is 23.

[Dr. Evil]

And casting has begun......

Good to see another Asian character in the MCU.

 

[Pokkle]

Since the filming start mid-april if we believe the rumors, we should get more casting soon like the main bad guy casting.

 

[BarryAllen]

Great casting! She definitely looks the part! I wonder if we'll see her father Lee Wing on the show too.

I wonder how far apart in age she and Simone Missick are.

I think Simone is in her late 30s/early 40s. I don't really like the casting for Misty Knight. She doesn't look her comic counterpart at all nor does she look like she fits in with Colter, Jones or Henwick. She looks more like someone's mom than an agile, ass-kicking detective.

 

[Dark Raven]

Is she Asian or Eurasian? Henwick doesn't sound like an Asian name.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Is she Asian or Eurasian? Henwick doesn't sound like an Asian name.

She's Eurasian. Her mother is from Singapore.

 

[SlamAdams]

Very cool. By my count, she's the 210th comic-to-film MCU character

 

[Dark Raven]

Who are the previous 209?

 

[SlamAdams]

Who are the previous 209?

You really want to know?

 

[Dark Raven]

You really want to know?

Feel free to list them here but maybe in spoiler tags.

 

[SlamAdams]

Feel free to list them here but maybe in spoiler tags.

It's in a google drive sheet, so I think I can link it. There's at least 2 characters who are still rumors and one that sort of made a cameo but not with an actor. The cameo is in First Avenger. I'm gonna count it though.

[Dark Raven]

That's a lot of people there. When did we get Bambi Arbogast?

I wonder if that Shang Chi rumour will turn out to be true.

I tried organizing it by movie on the left. She was under Iron Man 2. I honestly didn't rewatch it to verify, but apparently Happy addresses Bambi by name passing by her at one point.

 

[RockSP]

She's Eurasian. Her mother is from Singapore.

Colleen is Asian and white, so that fits, at least. No clue on her acting ability.

 

[Endeavor]

Are we sure this isn't an April fools thing?

 

[SlamAdams]

If it is, its kind of anti-climatic

 

[TheVileOne]

Bambi Arbogast was in Iron Man 3. However she doesn't formally appear. Favreau is talking to a character who is out of the frame.
