Jon_Anon's Iron Fist FanCast

Just like my Daredevil FanCast this will be with one eye on on the netflix show and one eye on a film that will never be made. Anyway let me know what you think.

The Director: Kevin Tancharoen

Why: Tancharoen is most known for being the director of Fame and the Glee movie, the guy himself is a dancer and choreographer but the real reason I want him for Iron Fist is Mortal Kombat. This is the guy behind Mortal Kombat: Rebirth and the Mortal Kombat: Legacy series and if anybody has seen them then holy crap you know that they are good. Here is a sample:

I know right?

Danny Rand AKA The Immortal IronFist:Garrett Hedlund

Why: The reason I picked Hedlund is because I'd like to see to see the Defenders cast be slightly younger than the Avengers counterparts and I think Garrett is a great actor and he also has a personality that matches Danny as well as he looks exactly like him. I know a lot of people want a martial artist to play him but Garrett as proven he is a physical actor in the likes of Tron.

Davos AKA The SteelSerpent:Harry Shum, Jr.

Why:I know, I know another dude from Glee (I don't watch the show, honest) seriously there is a reason why the best movie martial artists are dancers, Bruce Lee was a dancer, Jackie Chan was a dancer and Van Damme was a dancer. And not only is Shum an excellent dancer and martial artist (He played Sub Zero in MK: Legacy and will be starring in Revenge of the Green Dragon) but he's also a pretty good actor and has already worked with the director.

Lei Kung the Thunderer:Brian Tee

Why: Brian Tee has been around for while, he's been in films like We Were Soldiers, Fast & The Furious: Tokyo Drift and The Wolverine and he's also been in tv shows like Buffy, Grimm and also played Liu Kang in MK: Legacy. Great martial artist and great actor.

Yu Ti the August Personage in Jade: Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa

Why: This man needs no introduction, he's a martial arts legend that has played the likes of Shang Tsung and Heihachi Mishima as well as many many others. I can think of no one better to play the Dragon King of Kun L'un.

Wendell Rand:Ben Browder

Why: I've always liked Browder in TV shows like Farscape and Stargate and I'd like to see him in more stuff. I think he would do a really good job play Wendell Rand, I think him and Danny wouldn't get on that well because they are pretty similar and that could give it some cool tension.

Colleen Wing:Devon Aoki

Why:Well the actor choice is a no brainer but the reason I want Colleen in the show is because she debuted in the Iron Fist comic before anywhere else and I think it would be a cool connection to the Luke Cage show if she appears here first Also I think I would amalgamate her with Blue Eyed Servant Girl.

Harold Meachum:Wayne Pygram

Why:Come on, who wouldn't want Grand Moff Tarkin playing the sinister bad guy that's trying to kill of the Rands and steal their fortune? Also fans of Farscape will get the joke.

Joy Meachum:Rachael Taylor

Why: You may know her from such shows as Charlie's Angels, Grey's Anatomy and Transformers.

Other characters that would have smaller rolls are:

Immortal Weapons

Luke Cage: In the last few episodes before Defenders

Misty Knight: In the last few episodes before Defenders

Damn,this is tight!!!! I dig it!!! Are you gonna do one for Cage and Jessica Jones?

Pretty good casting overall. I think Davos should be older though, since he and Wendell trained and sort of grew up alongside one another.

@the_tree: True but he's also immortal so he doesn't age

I'm gonna do one for Luke Cage and maybe Moon Knight just for the hell of it. I've never read Alias so I don't know all that much about Jessica Jones.

Dude,i'm freaking reading Alias now and it is freaking awsome! I'm on Vol 3 now.

@daredevil21134: I used probably get to it at some point. BTW did you watch the MK Legacy video I posted?

No I didn't see it

@daredevil21134: Dude give it a watch

I didn't now you posted anything like that.Give me a link

@daredevil21134: lol it's at the top of this blog under the director part

OH!!!!!

@daredevil21134: lol

This is a really nice cast you got there.

@tdk_1997: Thanks duder :)

This is awesome! I'm not overly familiar with Iron Fist supporting characters, but I would be fine with all this casting! Also fun fact: The director you picked is the AoS show runner's brother.

@matthewparker: I did not know that, it would be pretty great if he got him the job.

*she Maurissa Tancharoen, it would be. He already directed an episode of Agents of Shield, Face My Enemy, so maybe she could help him get the job.

Was that ep any good?

Yeah. It wasn't the best episode this season, but it was pretty awesome. Also it had a pretty great fight scene.

I hope they get it for it.

@jonny_anonymous: Devon Aoki? *Throws you into oncoming traffic* -_-

@ostyo: What's wrong with that?

@jonny_anonymous: Terrible actress with no talent or believability. You disappoint me, Jonny Boy.

@ostyo: It's not like you need much range to play Colleen WIng, she's the strong silent type.

Do one for Luke Cage because he has his show coming up soon.

Now that he's actually been cast I'd find it hard looking for another actor

Well you could cast the rest of his supporting cast and villains, but use the same actor.

I was hoping in Aaron Paul or Ben Foster
