That's right Marvel recently announced that they will be making an Immortal Iron fist movie. For those of you who don't know the Immortal Iron Fist is a martial arts superhero comic about a boy named Daniel Rand. His father, Wendell Rand is a wealthy business man who discovered the mythical city of K'un-L'un(which only appears on earth every ten years) when he was a boy and for a time was a student in the city but eventually left where he became a very wealthy entrepreneur in the U.S. He later took his wife, son Daniel and his business partner Harold Meachum up the mountains to find the city of K'un-L'un again. During the trip Daniel fell pulling his parents with him. Harold, who also loved Daniel's mother, forced Wendell to fall to his death and offered to save Daniel and Heather, but she refused. They traveled alone and later Heather sacrificed herself to a pack of wolves to protect Daniel. Daniel had arrived at the city and was taken in. He tells them he wants revenge so they teach him their sacred form of martial arts. He ends up being the most gifted student and gains incredibly tough iron like fists after defeating a fabled dragon. He then later leaves K'un-L'un to get revenge on his fathers killer, Harold Meachum. Thus begins the stories of the Iron Fist.
(Long summary i know)
So heres my ideas for the cast i hope you like them and if you have any suggestions let me know.
Danny Rand/The Iron Fist
Jensen Ackles
Danny Rand is the is the main character and the hero known as the Iron Fist. Now originally i thought the perfect role for Ackles was Ghost Rider, and i still do but thinking on it, its too much like Supernatural so I decided to choose him for the secondary role i liked him for. I think he'd make the perfect Iron Fist. He looks so much like him and he could play Danny's tough, semi-smug, funny, badass, man with a mission personality perfectly. And I'm sure with training would pull off amazing fight scenes!
Ryan Phillipe is my second choice for Danny rand for the same reasons
Harold Meachum
Tom Sellick
Harold Meachum is the man who kills Danny's father, he also later has his own company.He makes several attempts on Danny's life. When Danny confronts him he finds Harold is legless from frostbite and a pathetic shell of a man Danny has mercy and leaves him, but as he does a mysterious ninja appears and kills Meachum. I think Tom Selleck could play a conniving jealous monster really well and also seem pathetic enough to where you pity him, plus he looks alot like him.
The August Personage in Jade/Yu-ti
Randall Duk Kim
Yu-ti is the hooded ruler of K'un-L'un and the one who takes Danny in. Randall Duk Kim would be great for the role, he can play stern and wise all at once and still has some moves.
The Thunderer/Lei-Kung
Chow Yun Fat
The Thunderer is the trainer of Danny. He teaches him all the techniques and is the father of Danny's rival/arch-enemy Davos/The Steel Serpent. Chow Yun Fat would do great in this role. He can fight has a stern and wise voice and could play the gentle understanding side.
The Steel Serpent/Davos
Donnie Yen
Davos is Danny's arch-enemy, he feels that he was cheated out of being the next Iron Fist and that his father betrayed him by accepting Danny. He becomes enraged and gains similar combat powers and swears to kill Danny Rand. Donnie Yen is the perfect cast suggestion. He looks alot like him and I've watched his fight scenes and hes awesome.
Jeryn Hogarth
Stephen Root
Jeryn is the helpful lawyer to Danny and eventually the unofficial leader like figure of Heroes For Hire. You may know Stephen in the other roles he's played. Dodgeball, OfficeSpace, and Bill from king of the hill. I think he'd be great as this stressed guy but at the same time under control and knowledgeable.
Misty Knight
Zoey Saldana
Misty Knight is a former NYPD police officer. After an accident she gains a new bionic arm from Tony Stark endowing her with super strength and later joins Heroes for Hire and becomes Dannys love. Zoey Saldana would make a good fit cause she could play a well respected and tough independent female fighter.
Collen Wing
Devon Aoki
Colleen Wing is a skilled samurai and was sent to meet Iron Fist by her father. They soon became close allies. Devon Aoki is a beautiful asian actress, she has the looks of Colleen and has already played a swordsman in the Sin City movie.
Story Idea:
I want the original origin of Danny, with the trip to K'un-L'un and him being trained to fight and gaining the power of the Iron Fist. Then I want to have it that Prof. Lee Wing(Colleen's Father) sends Colleen to meet him when he arrives in New York and help him settle and adjust. Then have Misty still on the police force and be the cop that is after Danny following him through the city trying to stop him. They have a few moments of "tension" and in the end they more or less team up when Davos appears. Davos in this story is the ninja that assasinates Meachum. He calls Danny weak for not killing Meachum and expresses why he should have, then compares it to what Danny "did" to Davos and challenges him. They fight, other thugs of Davos' are attacking and Colleen helps out as does Misty. Then after the fight Davos says that its not over, he wont lose. He sets off an explosion and Misty saves Danny from it but loses her arm in the process and Davos dies. In the end Danny decides to stay and defend the city. I want the ending to have Misty in the hospital getting her new arm from Robert Downey(Stark) an this will be shown more in movie 2.
