RUMOR: Marvel Currently Auditioning For Iron Fist

RUMOR: Marvel Currently Auditioning For Iron Fist

With the casting of Charlie Cox as Daredevil, Mike Colter as Power Man, and Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones; we have all been awaiting the casting of Danny Rand, and while we don't have an answer yet, it looks like Marvel is getting the ball rolling if a recent rumor is to be believed.

With the TCA Press Tour happening this past week, we learned a lot about Marvel and Netflix's partnership going forward. One question was of course, who is going to play Danny Rand.

Now take this with a grain of salt, but a recent post on Reddit by a comic book shop owner indicates that Luke Bracey (Point Break [Remake], The November Man, G.I. Joe: Retaliation) visited his comic book shop and picked up an Immortal Iron Fist Omnibus.


As the poster points out, it's odd enough that someone like Bracey just walks in with an indication that he doesn't know which comic he's looking for, only to ask for an omnibus featuring one of the most popular runs of the character. He did apparently ask for some early Power Man/Iron Fist stuff but the shop didn't have any.

This is interesting on a few levels, if true it means that Marvel is actively holding auditions for the role, also with Luke Bracey being an up and coming star, especially with his starring role in the upcoming remake of Point Break, then it would make sense for Marvel to get him while he's still a relative newcomer.

In the meantime, what do you think of this news? Do you think the rumor is true? Do you think Bracey would make for a great Iron Fist? Who would be your pick? Let us know in the comments and until it's confirmed or debunked, keep reading ComicBookMovie.com!

@VisualMaximus50 You aware that he uses that little rumour to take harmless, pessimistic jabs at @Blackandyellow for saying how Hellboy 3 will never get made, you are aware of that right? It's called banter, mate... Something that usually livens up the comment sections. Something that gives it personality and makes it fun. It's all fun and jokes in the end.

Has Marvel ever actually indicated it would be cancelled? No Iron Fist and Defenders kind of falls apart too. This guy looks the Danny Rand part for sure. And having a relatively unknown dude would fit well with the rest of the casting for the shows. If they do Iron Fist right, showing K'un-Lun, training, etc. would be awesome. And would also give them license to go with a yellow and green costume (maybe without the giant collar!) without it seeming badly out of place. This could also brighten up the Netflix line up a bit. At least in the K'un-Lun flashbacks/sequences. Hell's Kitchen would still be dingy of course. But the tone of all the other shows seems pretty bleak, so a bit of color and a mythical mountain land would provide some much needed levity.

Everyone needs to calm down about Iron Fist. I get that he's popular and all but his show wont come out until like 2017. The only reason we even know who Luke Cage is, is cause he appeared on JJ. Calm down everyone. The Fist will come. Let them focus on Cage first and get his cast going before we jump to conclusions. Honestly I dont really know any Luke Cage rogues but im excited for Colleen Wing & Misty Knight. Heroes for Hire!!

Great choice on Dan Stevens. He already is working with Disney on Beauty and the Beast. So this could be the next thing he does with them.

IF this is true, they already would have a showrunner selected. WHICH I don't think they do at this point.

For the record Kevin Tancharoen for me would be the ideal showrunner for the show. His work on Agents of SHIELD was some of the best fight choreo in the MCU, and his Mortal Kombat web series was killer and showed he was good at grounding fantastical martial arts in a way similar to what you'd expect from an Iron Fist show.

And I'm not seeing any martial arts training listed when I google this dude, so I am voting no.

I'm not one of those obsessive fancasting people as I usually just wait for Marvel to make their choice, but gosh darn, Dan Stevens would be fantastic, please!

I don't wanna throw this guy under the bus(assuming he is actually in contention for the role) but my desires right now is Dan Stevens, kind of an uninspired choice in the sense that he looks like Danny and he is in a successful indie film that involves well-choreographed, badass fight scenes, but at the same time Dan is a very flexible actor because prior to the guest, I would have no idea he would be able to portray a character like he did in the film, so hopefully he can retain some of the charm from the Guest while also having a different performance, because obviously his character in the guest isn't quite like Iron Fist, so it would be cheep to just do a watered down version of that, and if he was cast, I doubt he would phone it in. Point being, if he was cast, we can still be excited about what he might bring to the table rather than already know what he has to offer as an actor.

Exactly. Get that guy. Or Ryan Phillipe (sp?).

Just don't get that hack from the terrible Point Break remake.

Dan Stevens!! Luke Bracey? From what I saw from the point break trailer he can't act for sh*t.

@Melkaticox I like him, but if they go non-blond, then they have to at least get someone who LOOKS latino. That dude is just a bottle of bleach away from a white danny rand.
