Netflix Boss Offers IRON FIST Casting Update; Mike Colter Teases Meeting With LUKE CAGE
While Iron Fist may have recently scored a showrunner, we've all been left wondering when exactly we're finally going to get some casting news. Well, an update on that has now been provided along with comments from Mike Colter about his excitement to team-up with Danny Rand...
Despite some troubling rumours that Marvel and Netflix were planning on scrapping Iron Fist, it became clear that wasn't the case late last year when they announced that Scott Buck would serve as showrunner. Talking to reporters after their panel at the Television Critics Association winter press tour earlier today, Netflix content chief Ted Sarandos offered an update by promising that casting the character is, "in progress." This is yet another good sign, and an indication perhaps that we'll hear something official soon. Jessica Jones and Luke Cage star Mike Colter meanwhile was also quick to express his excitement about finally meeting his fellow Hero for Hire in an interview with IGN. "I am, for the main reason that I get a nice little break because I'm like, 'Jessica, Luke -- there is an Iron Fist, right?'" I'm really excited about it. Whether I'll be in it, I don't know, but it will be nice to see." Will Iron Fist be cast in time to appear in Luke Cage? We'll have to wait and see...
