When the Marvel Universe block on Disney XD kicks off on April 1, Spidey will have some help battling those bad guys in the form of a teenage Danny Rand, better known to comic fans as Iron Fist.
Says the show's producer Duncan Rouleau..
"The 'Ultimate Spider-Man' version Iron Fist is definitely a Danny, and not a Daniel, Rand. Unlike some other super heroes on his team, he isn't given to big mouthy boasts or wild displays of teenage angst. Danny embraces a go-with-the-flow attitude. Stepping out from the confines of K'un L'un into the madhouse of New York, Danny tends to look at everything with a wide-eyed sense of the new that offers a unique perspective vs. his more jaded fellow trainees. But don't be fooled, beneath that kick-back demeanor is the most deadly kick in the world...and, of course, an iron fist."
He also say that despite thsi version being a teenager, they have very much been influenced by Ed Brubaker and Matt Fraction's acclaimed run on
Immortal Iron Fist. What do you think? Will Rand make a good addition to the show?
