Jessica Henwick's Colleen Wing Gets Her Own IRON FIST Character Poster And Banner
Ahead of the Final Defender's debut of March 17, we have a new Iron Fist character poster featuring Game of Thrones actress Jessica Henwick as ass-kicking martial artist, Colleen Wing. Take a look...
Though Marvel and Netflix's Iron Fist will obviously focus primarily on Danny Rand's journey, it will also delve into the backstory of Colleen Wing (Jessica Henwick), who must work through her own issues when she decides to help Danny on his dangerous mission to rid New York of a lethal new drug, while also dealing with an addiction to beating the crap out of people as a cage fighter.
Yes, Ms. Wing is quite the badass.
Henwick recently spoke to Collider about her initial hesitation to take on the role, fearing that she'd be playing just another "Asian woman who does martial arts who’s a love interest," but Marvel TV head Jeph Loeb assured her that they would tackle the stereotype - not by avoiding it, but by "inspecting it." You can check out the full interview here.
Take a look at the new Colleen Wing character poster below, and let us know if you're looking forward to Iron Fist in the comments section.
Fifteen years after being presumed dead in a plane crash, Danny Rand (Finn Jones) mysteriously returns to New York City determined to reclaim his birthright and family company. However, when a long-destined enemy rises in New York, this living weapon is forced to choose between his family’s legacy and his duties as the Iron Fist.
Iron Fist hits Netflix on March 17, 2017.
