Iron Fist: The Living Weapon Appreciation

SO happy this is gaining momentum. There was even a rumour that Arleo Dordar may have also been cast as Davos thanks to this instagram post he made:

However, minor complaints aside, what Finn is doing now, his martial arts and philosophical training, would definitely help him to gain a good understanding of Danny. Indeed, I think some people may wonder how much Kung Fu Finn could learn in such a short amount of time. In regards to that, I look at what Sifu Kisu did with some of the animators back with "Avatar: The Last Airbender," when he trained them in some basic Kung Fu fundamentals. Obviously, they didn't become masters, but they certainly got a better idea of the principles behind Kung Fu and that really showed in the show. Hopefully, this will be the same case with Finn.

A lot of that will be up to the director -- even Bruce Lee was as much an actor (and sometimes director) as he was a martial artist in his films. My guess is that if Michael Cera can pull off fight scenes (Scott Pilgrim) then almost anyone can.

The Avatar series does have some of the best martial arts fight scenes ever recorded... I'd be impressed if Hollywood ever managed to capture this kind of choreography in live action film, special effects included.

^ And now I want to watch John Wick again.

Great casting for Meachum. Ready for this show, still can't believe it's happening! Oh and how cool are the promo images? Here's number three:

Apologies -- took it down to put up Korra instead, but as I had said in my post before editing, Keeanu's come a long way since The Matrix and would have made a good Iron Fist in my opinion... though he's probably too old for the role now, regardless.

Maybe Orson Randall could be in his future...

Something I also love about us getting a Neflix tv show is that Marvel are finally pulling their finger out when it comes to MERCH!

I bought this hat and I love it. Feels so great to have official marvel iron fist merch instead of third party stuff.

Hey, that's really cool.

Interesting choice if it is Davos. I expected an older actor for Davos.

More casting news. I personally am waiting for the Big guns to get cast. So far it reminds me of a CW cast. Here is the latest casting news:

Looks like he just got back from K'un L'un. He's even barefoot.

I know! I'm really hoping we get some of fun montage of him discovering how far the world has moved on without him, that'd be such a fun sequence for a first episode.

Makes me curious how he's getting back though, did he really walk through snowy mountains, to an airport and through passport control without shoes? Or portal?

It's so crazy that an Iron Fist show is actually happening and it looks like it's gonna be great. I'm very excited for this.

I wonder if Danny would have just come from K'un-L'un. If so I wonder if they will follow the origin. Will be get "The Ninja" and will the Ninja be a member of The Hand? That would tie it easily to the Daredevil series.

What characters are you all looking forward to seeing in the series? I can't wait to see Lei Kung and Davos. Man I hope they get them right. Netflix Marvel have cast their series so well thus far and I am hoping they continue the trend with this one.
