Lewis Tan Will Play The Villainous Zhou Cheng In Marvel's IRON FIST
We still don't know who will be the big bad in Iron Fist when it hits Netflix next year, but relative unknown Lewis Tan has now been revealed as playing the villain Zhou Cheng, a key character from the comics.
Who will be the main villains in Iron Fist? As of right now, we just don't know! It is of course worth noting that Madame Gao made a blink and you'll miss it appearance in the first teaser trailer for the series, while footage shown at the New York Comic-Con confirmed that Danny Rand has some issues with The Hand. However, no further details about the role they will play have been revealed.
Thanks to io9 though, we do now know that Zhou Cheng will be making an appearance. In the comics, he's a servant of Ch'i-Lin who is tasked with killing every iteration of the Iron Fist, so expect to see him play a potentially significant role in this series as an opponent for the Living Weapon. Still, he's no Steel Serpent, so it will be interesting to see if that's a character who ends up appearing in some form here.
Either way, below you can see a video of actor Lewis Tan in action along with some comments he posted on Twitter about nearly landing the role of Danny Rand before it was given to Finn Jones.
