90210 Actress Jessica Stroup Joins IRON FIST As 'Joy Meachum'; Tom Pelphrey Will Play Her Brother, 'Ward'
The final 2 series regulars for Marvel and Netflix's Iron Fist have been cast. Jessica Stroup and Tom Pelphrey will play Harold Meachum's (David Wenham) kids, Joy and Ward. More past the jump.
Joining Finn Jones as Danny Rand, Jessica Henwick as Colleen Wing and David Wenham as Harold Meachum in Iron Fist will be Jessica Stroup (90210, The Following, The Hills Have Eyes 2) and Tom Pelphrey (Banshee, Homefront, Blue Bloods) as Danny's childhood acquaintances, Joy and Ward Meachum.
In the comics, Joy believes Iron Fist murdered her father and teams up with her Uncle Ward to take him down. The duo will be siblings in the TV series, however. Here is how they'll factor into the story:
The children of Harold Meachum (Wenham), Joy and Ward have spent their lives building Rand Enterprises to its current standing in the world, only to have all their work put in jeopardy when Danny returns to claim his birthright. They are childhood acquaintances of Danny Rand’s who now play an important role in Rand Enterprises.
Iron Fist is set to commence production very soon.
