"
I mean, who says there’s going to be a costume? I mean, this is a modern…." said actor Finn Jones (Game of Thrones) when
asked by Extra about whether he'll actually wear Danny Rand's classic green and yellow superhero costume. However he quickly teased,
"I can’t say any more. Marvel’s gonna kill me. There maybe a costume, there may not be."
It's hard to picture a scenario where Marvel TV does a literal 'one-for-one' adaptation of
Iron Fist's classic costume. Even Charlie Cox's
Daredevil (who has a pretty comic book accurate costume) took a few liberties. Krysten Ritter's
Jessica Jones made fun of the superhero costume "
Jewel" initially wore in the comics, although that was actually in keeping with
Jones' comic book origin of former superhero turned private investigator. As for Mike Colter's
Luke Cage, the character hasn't worn his
Power Man costume and tiara in decades.
Out of all
The Defenders,
Iron Fist's costume just might be the most difficult to translate from page to screen which may result in
Iron Fist fighting crime in something close to the character's modern, shirtless look.
Unless Marvel spoils it beforehand, we'll all find out whether the classic costume is in play when
Iron Fist premieres March 17, 2017.
