"I'm pretty involved [with the Netflix shows]. I'm not on set everyday but I'm pretty involved. Iron Fist is being worked on, that's all I can say." When informed about the rumors that Iron First was being retooled as a TV movie, Quesada scoffed at the notion. "Where did you read these rumors," he jokingly asked. "The internet? Then they must be true!"
After discussing the nightmare-inducing aspect of David Tennant's Purple Man, Quesada briefly touched on the possibility of a spinoff for Bernthal's Punisher, who's making his debut in Daredevil season 2. "We'd love to do something with [the character] but it's way too early to tell. We don't like to discuss which metrics we use to decide [which character gets a spinoff]. What I can tell you is that anyone who is a hardcore Punisher fan is going to be blown away and incredibly satisfied by Bernthal's take on Frank Castle. It's one of those cases where it's the character from the pages, come to life."
Last month, BleedingCool.com ran a story that Marvel was considering scrapping the Iron Fist Netlfix drama and replacing it with a Punisher series. A few week later, Peeltheorange.com started another rumor that spread across the web that Iron Fist was being redeveloped as a TV movie. Judging by Quesada's reaction, neither rumor appears to be true.
