IRON FIST Star Finn Jones Hopes To Return As Danny Rand So He Can Prove The Doubters Wrong

At this point I don't care. They recasted Ross, some others, and some other not. There doesn't seem to be any rule to it, so they can bring in anyway as Rand.

That said, I hope we get Henwick back as Colleen. Far more interesting character.

I'd like to see his return, but at this rate I'm sure the MCU will just make Shang Chi Iron Fist.

I do believe it was more the scripts than the actor during the initial season of Iron Fist, but he did need a bit more work, no doubt. I believe he really showed his potential when his character and Luke Cage shared screen time together. They did seem to have good chemistry. I would like for him to have another chance just to see, but I have heard that they are going to pass the torch to another character, (Asian man) when the series return. Just a rumor at this point so take that for what it is, a rumor. Time will tell.

I mean he had, what 3? Goes at it. Sure the character was written like a complete moron but still. Ship has sailed

I wouldn't mind him getting another shot with better writing (he was great in his Luke Cage guest appearance) but I also wouldn't be against a recast either if they got the right actor for the part.

One thing I'm not overly keen on is the idea going around that Iron Fist (or any Kung-Fu themed hero) HAS to be played by an Asian actor though; it seems like a really weird stereotype and feels quite limiting, like we've already got Shang-Chi who fits that role perfectly anyway so why not have some Asian heroes who aren't Kung-Fu themed, and have some Kung-Fu themed heroes who aren't Asian?

I do understand that there's a desire to avoid the "white saviour/white man taught mysticism by Asian mentor and then surpasses them" trope though and I definitely think that's something that needs to be addressed in the MCU's iteration of Iron Fist. Instead of having Danny become the best warrior in K'un-Lun, emphasize the fact that the monks saved him and he'd be nothing without what they taught him. Seeing as different versions of the story have K'un-Lun attacked or invaded, perhaps have Danny just get lucky when he survives. Hell maybe they could stray from the comics a bit and even have multiple Iron Fists with Danny just being one of them (maybe instead of literally punching the dragon to become Iron Fist, Shou-Lao teaches warriors in K'un-Lun to harness their Chi or gifts them their powers) and then they could have the new Asian Iron Fist from the comics as well (and even bring Colleen back and let her be an Iron Fist too)

So you could have Danny using his abilities as a Hero For Hire with Luke, Colleen as one of the Daughters of the Dragon, and Lin Lie as an Iron Fist who was actually born in K'un-Lun (I know he wasn't in the comics but still). Maybe even give Danny and Lin a surrogate brother dynamic having been raised and trained together since childhood, with Danny being less disciplined and more laid back, and Lin being a bit more focused and more of a natural leader, and then Colleen being new to all the Iron Fist stuff but much more familiar with the world outside of K'un-Lun which Danny hasn't experienced since childhood and which Lin has never known.

Sorry Finn, you had your chance. I’d rather get someone with a background in stunts and fight coordination.
