'Iron Fist' News: Studio Not Sure How to Pitch the Comic Book Character

Marvel has effectively created a wave of anticipation for the following Netflix series they have planned after the critical success of their 'Daredevil' series.

While 'Jessica Jones' plans to premiere next year, and the 'Luke Cage' script currently being penned, the Netflix team seems to be having a spot of trouble with pitching the 'Iron Fist' series.

As reported by BirthMoviesDeath, the difficulty with this property is primarily the unrealistic powers the hero possesses within the comics. Basing it off the word 'Daredevil' has already coined, the following series must follow the same trend of realism.

"In the comics Danny Rand is Iron Fist, and he is more than just a kick-ass martial artist. He trained with the mystical masters of the hidden city of K'un Lun (which appears on Earth once every ten years) and gained the power of the Iron Fist - he can channel all of his body's chi into his fist, which allows him to hit with superhuman strength, and which gives his fist a cool glow. This is what sets Iron Fist apart from, say, Shang-Chi, Master of Kung-Fu, who has no actual powers," writes BirthMoviesDeath.

It appears that the studio doesn't yet know if they plan on the character possessing powers, however they run the risks of creating an uncanny similarity with their already established Daredevil character.

'Iron Fist' is reportedly the last series that Marvel plans to release before 'The Defenders,' so its still a fair ways of before they have to figure out and cast the character.

"The Luke Cage writers room is so far along on that series that if they could work Danny Rand in, it would have to be at the very, very end of the season. I suspect that the schedule for iron Fist is such that they won't even cast the lead until the end of the year/early next year, and since the studio doesn't even know how they're approaching the character why bring him in to another show and define him before you've figured him out?" writes BirthMoviesDeath.
