At last weekend's Wizard World Chicago, an audience member asked Park(Darth Maul, Snake Eyes, Toad) what his dream role would be...
"I actually want to be Danny Rand -- I want to be Iron Fist, I want to do it," Park said. "I've been blond before. I'll work on the American accent as well."
Park joked that one of the main reasons he wants the role is to shake off his trademark ninja clothes and Sith robes for something a bit more revealing.
"I want to have an excuse to take my top off and show off my abs," he joked. "Or, take my top off and work to get my abs back that I used to have when I was 19."
Park was previously attached to the role back in 2001 when the movie's rights were held by Artisan Entertainment. Now that the rights have reverted back to Marvel, Park said that if we do see Fist onscreen it will be right beside his Heroes For Hire buddy Luke Cage!
"If they ever do an 'Iron Fist' movie, it's going to be with the two [characters] teaming up," he said.
No doubt Park is an amazing martial artist and he was hands down the best thing about GI Joke. But the only actual acting skills he has shown were in "X Men" when he played Toad. The results were...not great! But hey, it's been years since then, so who knows how he has progressed. I say let's see what ya got sir!
Thanks for the pic Leee;)
