IRON FIST is Reportedly Having Some Development Delays But it's Nothing to Really Worry About Right Now



Marvel's DAREDEVIL series was a huge success. The majority of fans and critics seemed to enjoy its street-level story and action. So much so it was greenlit for Season 2 shortly after premiering on Netflix.

Marvel already has JESSICA JONES in production. DAREDEVIL Season 2 is in pre-production. And LUKE CAGE is reportedly in the early writing stage. But what about IRON FIST?

According to BirthMoviesDeath, Marvel is having some trouble cracking the code on how they want IRON FIST portrayed in his series.

"What I'm hearing is that Marvel still hasn't decided what the direction of the show will be. They've brought in a lot of people to pitch, and have been having a lot of discussions, but so far nothing has stuck. My understanding is that one of the big hold-ups is the mystical element, with lots of different opinions on just how much weird wuxia to bring in to the show. I don't know if there are other arguments about the race of the character, although I do hope they're considering how to best proceed with that. "

The site also theorizes that due to these development issues, Iron Fist won't be showing up in JESSICA JONES, LUKE CAGE or Season 2 of DAREDEVIL. However, it also implies things could work itself out over the next few months and an actor might be cast in the lead by the end of 2015.

While the site seems to go a bit of a dramatic approach in telling this report, there is plenty of time to continue developing IRON FIST and lots of time to interview potential showrunners who would be the perfect fit to oversee the series. Things like this happen in the TV business all the time and IRON FIST probably isn't coming out on Netflix until late 2016 or early 2017 so there's no reason to panic right now.
